Bargain Alert Thread

[RIP]

Some fairly bonkers discounts over at SportPursuit.com again... 50% off loads of togs, Merino stuff, sleeping bags, etc; and, er, Ecco footwear for that on-trend look in the post-bikepacking pub....

One for the short of arse, OnOne have bought a small quantity of J Guillem Ti frames, they really are a thing of beauty from the guy who used to own Van Nicholas. Sadly for me, only 15.5 inch available, the Atalaya is specifically designed for a Rohloff build with EBB, splittable seatstay for belt drive and includes a carbon fork, under half price at £899. https://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FRJGATTI/j ... m-frameset
There's also the derailleur compatible frame at the same price.

I've been using a Pletscher Map Holder since the early 90s when I picked on up at the York CTC Rally. Didn't know they were still available, and at this price they are an utter bargain. I attach to my handlebars with a bodged Ever Ready Nightrider front bracket, but there are other options.

Ordered one of these, thanks for the tip-off.

Has the civilised world of supermarket shopping only just reached the north? You know they have brioche?

[Dyffers]

Ditto, have you only just found out about this?! My waitrose card has been an essential audax item for years. In the North too; we stopped at Hexham waitrose (I think) on day 2 of the Pennines 1000km audax last year purely for free coffee.

DHB - Surely you must feel crushed by the disparaging looks you get from the Crikey, how much-tarts?

dhb ASV Race eVent Waterproof Jacket £65

Roadie/slim cut, so size up, but this is a no frills very lightweight (<150gm) properly breathable and waterproof jacket that fits in a jersey pocket. Any colour as long as it's silvery grey. Been pissed on twice in mine and stayed nicely dry. Also wore it over a mid night jersey to test sweatiness and it was as good as a non waterproof windproof.
Definitely not a mountain jacket, but to stick in a jersey pocket for British summer or wear for couple of hours commute etc, it's ideal.

Not to self, don't go out riding with Boxelder.

What he said!
Plus when they are covered in mud no-one knows

Was about to post up the Alpkit discount but lagging behind as usual.....

[boxelder]

It's the other one(s) you need to stay clear of.

[surlywoman]

Damn - saw that ALPKIT discount too late. Bought a new stove from their Ambleside shop on Sat!

[Owen]

Was the Alpkit code limited time only? Not working now, bit gutted as they actually had stock of something I wanted for a change!
