Not bike related but it may put some cash in in your pocket to buy stuff from on here.

Tip if you are looking for cheaper car insurance?
I've just found that QuoteMeHappy via Confused.com was £20 cheaper than QuoteMeHappy via Comparethemarket.com.
Strange but also £100 cheaper than AXA who I found was the cheapest last year and who have put my price up on renewal.

One detects an element of doubt creeping in there Tim mate :wink:. And 4am? You must've been up all night wrestling with those new-bike demons inside :smile:.

No size XLs though, I wouldn't fit (and presumably you wouldn't either Tim?)

I console myself about those woodsmokes that although it would be far lighter and more capable than any of my other bikes its a PF bb so cant be allowed house room. Probably.... :|

Been perfectly fine on both my Spearfish (over 2,000km) and my Cutthroat (over 7,000km).

But as there are no XL frames, point is moot.

They’re fantastic hats, used one in Finland last year, so more than warm enough for the UK

I realise the better weather should be along soon but if anyone's after a 'proper' winter bag, there's some reasonable offers on Cumulus here - The Alaska bags look like very good value.

Yet again a "40% off" at dash4it on maps - "get your luvverly WRT maps while they last" etc etc etc. Code=SPRING.

Oh, and needless to say PHD have emailed explaining they have yet another sale on ;-). "Roll up, roll up, get your luvverly WRT bags/quilts/socks/jackets while they last" etc etc etc etc etc.....

Evan Cycles currently have 20% on their ebay store.

The Pinnacle Ramin 3 Plus is 640gbp which seems like a bargain to me!

Dave, can get a 10% discount on a 1030, but that's all I ever managed. Chuffed with mine though.

Millets 15% off every time.
Went in needed a new thin fleece. Tried bargaining with them they offered to knock 15% off if I took an e-receipt. They then send you an email with another 15% off coupon NEWSU. This may work on it's own without giving them your email address. They will send you emails with offers in but you can unsubscribe. There is nothing stopping you using a different email address the next time. Although it maybe possible to just keep using NEWSU each time. If they don't ask for your email address when you use NEWSU then it is.
