Thanks. I've just watched the video and it seems far easier than I'd imagined.

I paid £29 for a black one but I am happy. At that price, it made it worthwhile buying one for the toolkit. If it were £50 or £100, I'd get a bike shop to do the job for me.

Seems like the coloured ones (red,blue etc) are £8 dearer. Not sure what difference the colour makes to its ability to straighten a hanger?

I've never done it before but it's very easy. Took me five minutes start to finish (including taking off the rear mech and re-fitting).

With the chain on small front and back, there is plenty of slack to undo the rear mech and just leave it hanging.

The measurement part takes seconds and I checked practically every clock position and its opposite.

I think this counts as a bargain.
I've just had a steel frame and forks shotblasted and single colour powdercoated for £60

Dropped it off at 3PM on Friday and picked it up 9.30AM on Tuesday. Could be handy for NW guys.

That does sound like a good deal. Any photos?

I'm building the bike up. Only needs decals then I'll start a separate thread.
The guy is a biker/triathlete so he is sympathetic to our needs.

P.S. If you follow the link and trawl through his pics I've seen the Elephant and it is superb. I want one!

Not a cycling offer, but anybody fancy a 65" JVC TV for only £300.?

JVC Fire TV Edition 65'' Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR LED TV

This is being sold by the CurrysPCworld store on Amazon for £300 compared to the £500 on the Currys website. Way to big for my house, but something to watch all the cycling on Eurosport/GCN this year with!

gotta say, that's a very inflated "original" price (I have a lot of Pearl Izumi stuff - it's good but nowhere near that good), though the £35 is a decent price.

Not many bargains around hence the lack of activity here but I thought these were a good buy at £10.99 so I bought a couple

Cheers - I grabbed a couple, not that I will be commuting much anymore.
