Re: Bargain Alert Thread

On closer inspection, the wording is a little strange

Both of our bar bags are 40% off…”

Both implies two yet they have range of bar bags (harness, that one James is after, canister etc)

Edit - code doesn’t work on even the linked item from the email! Strange!

Re: Salsa Warroad owners….

Also not totally convinced it’s the right size. I’m 173cm and bought a 54.5 but it’s a lot more compact compared to my other bikes I’m 170ish and got the same size, it’s a biggest frame I’ve had and it fits well, think they run a little small (I’d normally opt for 52cm or so). That’s a shame if you...
