Ha, went up to £350 as I was trying to add a medium to my basket. No matter, it would have had to be very good to get me off my Arkose. :)

Me too. However, it's a tight month (bought a kayak) and TBH a built one on B2W will be cheaper / better value as I'd need to get wheels and tyres if frame only.

Was very tempting tho :wink:

Good deals on Mountain Hardwear stuff here - https://rockrun.com/collections/deals-mountain-hardwear

Ghost Whisperer at a good price. Plus the most truly excellent Super Chockstone, i love mine as a biking jacket. Hood but no wired peak, stretchy close fittings cuffs, very slim cut with long arms, zipped pockets, stuffable into it's pocket, very very stretchy. Its not my favourite walking softshell but for biking it's excellent

Bargain 45Nrth Japanthers at Charlie the Bikemonger - £99 (that's a relative bargain I suppose) - http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/45n ... 1834-p.asp

Plus he's selling his own Salsa Beargrease and Ti Fargo, both in XL. I had a long think about the Ti Fargo, but I wouldn't ride anymore than I do now, which makes it an expensive upgrade!

If they didn't issue one yesterday, then I doubt they will.

IME of buying cottage-vendor stuff from the States they seem to favour black friday. Have a look on Hammockforum, they have a vendor area and threads for most "major" ones.

The US "black Friday" is the equivalent of our Boxing Day sales.

Aldi have one of their cycling promotions on:

Most of it is a bit 'entry level', but I might get some specs if I am passing as we always manage to lose or break them.
