That looks suspiciously like a FM098 Dengfu frame. Not that there is anything wrong with them. I have one.
it may well be. Sublime do use open mould designs. My Zoku is the same frame as the Tifosi SS26 Aero.That looks suspiciously like a FM098 Dengfu frame. Not that there is anything wrong with them. I have one.

When's the lejog? If you wait awhile I am sure something suitable will turn up on here - this thread has always reminded me of the tale about sitting by the river awhile and just waiting for your enemies to surely float by. If you just get the basics of your cycling gear and accessories in time lots of wonderful quality stuff floats by this thread at discounts of 40 per cent plus.
On Aldi tops, if you are into layering, the older black waterproof jacket at £20 (once saw one at £10 - should have snapped it up) is perfectly decent - not sure if it will reappear. Have seen a fair few folk around London wearing them.

Re my plugging of that gilet up above I found this long list of reviews:
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/endura-laser-gilet/rp-prod18079
some of the criticisms are barmy (no pockets on the back, back seems lightweight - clearly meant to be and my Castelli is - and I personally pay no attention whatsoever to anyone who uses the word "apparel") but it does seem that there is an issue with the zip - not disastrous but annoying - and it appears in a fair few of the reviews, including positive ones.

good regular price for sure but many Aldi's still have GT85 for £1.99 in the same size.

Yeah, I have problems with zips on most of the Endura stuff I have - but it's still good stuff. I'm on my second Gridlock jacket and trousers and overshoes (the first sets lasted years and years)
Anyhoo - You sold it - I ordered the gilet.
So it had better be nice - or I'm holding you personally responsible

And as I wasn't too fussed for next day delivery, I downgraded delivery to 3-5 days and got another promotional £5 credit - and the box arrived after 2 days...

do report back - I was going to buy it but backed out as sticking zips irritate me.Yeah, I have problems with zips on most of the Endura stuff I have - but it's still good stuff. I'm on my second Gridlock jacket and trousers and overshoes (the first sets lasted years and years)

Don't know anything about it but looks like a decent buy for anyone wanting to get a track pump.
Personally I tend to ask whether pumps can be taken apart for servicing/seal greasing etc . At that price that would probably be being a bit fussy, though I would expect it of a pump at its full price.

This ToolStation PTFE has a lot more PTFE than GT85, so I've started using it as a dry weather chain lube. I take my chain off, clean it, hang it up and spray both roller sides with PTFE spray, leave it to dry and wipe any excess off. There is a lot of white PTFE (Teflon) on the chain when I've finished.
I've used GT85 as a cleaning solvent, it seems to have very little PTFE.

It came this morning and I must say I an extremely happy with it. It's Well worth the money (I paid). The picture doesn't do it justice.
The the collar is very generous, as is the coverage on the backside. The back is well vented (apart from the bottom and shoulders) and the loop for hanging a light is a nice touch - although I tend to use the ones on Camelbak or my rucksack.
It's nice and bright, plus has reflective areas on the shoulders and Zip. The fabric is very light and there is a pull-string on the neck (rear) and one each side at the base too.
The zip seems to behave better than the one on my new Gridlock jacket, but (as with all Endura stuff I have found) care still has to be taken, not to catch the over-flap (at the back) in the zip
The fit is good with plenty of chest room for me - I am a 42 chest I think a Medium would have been too tight. It would probably fit anyone up to a 44 chest easily.
Folds down small enough to fit in the storage area of my Camelbak Rogue - which isn't too big.
Get one while stocks last.

Airwave AirBlast Tubeless Tyre Track Pump £36 from CRC
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/airwave-airblast-tubeless-tyre-track-pump/rp-prod142714
Both track pump and tubeless chamber in one. You use the track pump to charge up the integrated chamber and then use a small lever by the pump head to swap over to the chamber for a quick "shoot" of air. I borrowed one to use and was very impressed, waited for them to come back into stock, is the cheapest type of this pump I have seen, my friend who's pump I borrowed paid £70 in his local LBS
