Re: Bargain Alert Thread

A guy I know locally got the whole micro shift drive train in the Black Friday sale super cheap and rates it on his fat bike.

That’s the only reason I was inclined to pop this on here really and take a punt myself, I commute year round, the cheaper I can get fit for purpose consumables the better!
