Had to chuckle at the Lifetime warranty line on the Ti frame, is that the lifetime of the frame or the company which will be considerably shorter, about a year IMO.

If anyone is after an Outdry jacket there's one on Vinted, the proper shell, not the lightweight one (I think). Small. Brand new. £100 + fees & post. https://www.vinted.co.uk/men/clothes/ou ... ell-jacket
They seem to have stopped making them, so worth getting a spare now if you can. Think it would be too small for me, otherwise I might buy it.

I can vouch for Banana Industries 'trail' and 'trail light' socks being decent quality and they're a bargain at a fiver. They've other bits and bobs on sale too. I've a couple of their Banana Straps and they do the job well. https://www.bananaindustries.co.uk/collections/bike

Bell Tracker helmets for £7.40, if you don't mind matte red and buying from Wiggle. Needed new lids for wife and daughter, so good savings for occasional use.

It is a good deal, but I was ideally after a Benedictus XIV.

Lots of Adidas gravel and road shoes in TK Maxxs just now. Some hitting the clearance section now, around £35. Have seen them at £13 once!

You can also get Adidas Discus shoes which is a new one to me

The Tiger Wall 2 on there is an incredible bargain but why do the Americans insist on making tents in such ridiculous colours?

The link in the post above is only the second half of the results. Look for a box at the top that says "Load Previous"

For those of us who signed up to OS Maps online last year my annual automatic subscription email arrived priced at £28.99.
Still great value for money, but this was followed by another email offering new subscribers 30% off using the code SUMMERWALKS
but £8.70 is £8.70

Of course this is offer is only for new subscriptions and mine runs out on 3rd September

An 8 minute phone call to Chloe at OS on 0345 456 0420 ended with me cancelling my auto renewal and signing up on my phone with SUMMERWALKS from the 3rd September for another 12 months.

£8.70 saved, looks like this dance will take place every year :roll:
