Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Well after all that time it finally arrived yesterday. What a disappointment! The material is quite nice but the colour is not the Specialized red that I have on a genuine Spesh shirt; it's much more orangey red.

Worst of all is the size, it's TINY! I ordered medium and the label says medium but this is sized for a tiny skinny Chinese chest, small or extra small! I can only just get it on and zipped up.

Oh well, I'll stick it on Classifieds now along with another I bought, then Ebay if nobody wants it then off to good old Wiggle for a dhb jersey.

Mine arrived yesterday. Interestingly enough I like it. I ordered a Bianchi Team in blue, the material is nice, the colour looks very close, and the size XL is actually a bit on the big size. I could have got away with L. Pretty sure it's a fake, but I will be keeping it. In fact I am going to get another one in short sleeve.

Since I am a lousy climber and Schleck and Contador are riding Speedplay Nano's pedals I thought I'd look for some Speedplay pedals to try.

These look like a bargain for £65 (5 for derlivery). Nearly half price.

Speedplay Zero Chromoly

That's decent price Arsen!

Water proof roll top phone/wallet cases in Home Bargain Stores, looks like a vaude rip off but it's plenty thick enough.

99p.

These tyres look like extremely good VFM.

I was very tempted by this

Reynolds 520 Butted Steel Frame with all the braze ons, great for touring £450

Gears all wrong though (budget £100 to change)

Halford are selling the Catseye EL530 at £39.99

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_781905_langId_-1_categoryId_165636

Not a bad price but I think it was only £34.99 yesterday. Either way it's a lot cheaper than the Hope Vision 1 that I just paid £71.99 for.

That's a rubbish light. The Hope is in a different league.

"Perfectly adequate for any night ride" according to the Fridays. http://fnrttc.blogspot.com/p/lights.html
I thought, at the price, it might be of interest to anyone who fancies a one-off night ride like the Dunwich Dynamo this weekend.

They're not available because I bought them, they're Shimano. Sorry mate...

TK Max - Various

They have different bits and pieces in, but these I thought were worth mentioning

Topeak dx handlebar bag - £15.99

As far as I could tell it was the real thing, came complete with fittings and is the one with the plastic map pocket on top.

'Hanging Bike Pulleys' - £7.99

Those things that keep your bike on the ceiling, seemed to be ok.

My local store only had 3/4 of each mind....
