Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Whilst you're digging that hole you seem intent on putting yourself in, here's an article that you might want to read before ploughing on: http://road.cc/content/feature/174753-11-best-2016-aluminium-road-bikes .

What hole are you referring to? Please enlighten me?

My willingness to buy a carbon bike because it weighs as much as my triban?

Then you link the best aluminium bikes of 2016.

I fail to understand your point

 

[Crandoggler]

Kind of agree. Carbon bikes are carbon bikes. I personally wouldn't want to spend a fortune on a bike without a carbon frame. CAAD12 Aside.

Even with the extra £100, it's only a 25% saving. I'd say it would have to be a 1/3 off before it's worth ending your marriage.

Look interesting and i note that just break into the free postage zone. Anyone used them? I ask because i am always wary of zips on overshoes - possible to damage them as you put them on/take them off in less than ideal circhmstances. In short, what are the zips like?

Not sure if you ordered any & if they have turned up yet. Mine arrived the other day & finally got round to trying them on. The sizing seems fine & the zip seems better quality than I have had on any other overshoes. The overshoes themselves are thinner than my normal neoprene type, but hopefully they'll keep the wind & rain out.
Still showing in stock, so reckon I'll have another pair for next winter

I've just received my Sealskinz and the sizing seems very small ... I ordered the 12 - 14 UK size for my size 11 - 11.5 shoes and I can just about get the zip over the heel, I seriously thought about using a tyre lever! I am putting them over Shimano MTB shoes but even so they shouldn't be this tight, think they must be at least one size undersize. Saying that once they are on they are very comfy and look quite good (not that that matters ) , and as you say seem to be good quality. Hopefully they'll stretch a bit once I've started wearing them, I'll find out how warm they are tomorrow, got an early start and I think it's gong to be freezing!
