Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Do I hit the button?

Am sure they are very nice - I have a high regard for Italian tailoring and have a Castelli gilet I got in a sale.

But I'd be wary of being transfixed by that "original price" and therefore apparent saving. £150.

The Sky Aero Race ones are still available in size medium and they are pretty good shorts at a bargain price... just wonder if you can peel the sky logo off

If the logo is printed with the rubbery type ink you might be able to remove it using nail varnish remover. It does work as I've done it!
Edit: just to clarify, I haven't tried it on the Sky bibshorts!

You can probably get Assos for not much more money, the pretend racer MAMIL brand of choice

Must admit, the one pair of Castelli bibs I do own, they are uber comfy.. well worth the money I paid.
Almost tempted myself to get these.

I stayed away from Castelli for a long time, as everyone seems to be wearing their stuff & I try not to be a sheep, but got a pair of Castelli bib tights on C2W that were already reduced, so a real bargain & they are the comfiest tights I own, better than the 1 paid of Assos that I own When I need/want some more, I'll certainly look at Castelli again

Saddles are of course very personal, so depends if it fits you, but looks promising*, if a bit wider than I may have thought from the pic.

* It doesn't have those uber barmy excessive cut-outs that many modern saddles seem to have in order, to my mind, just boost the perceived value/price.

Some of the comfiest saddles in my experience are the cheapest.

I bought a pair of these when they were reduced a couple of months ago .must admit i wanted them to see for myself what all the fuss regarding Casstelli gear was all about.
In fact , in my opinion ,not great . The pad is average and the bibs ripped at the shoulder area .
Having said that Sky stores were great and refunded no problem , but I would not rush to get another pair.

Bit quiet here?

(I pop on occasionally in case the auto reminder has stopped)

mind you I really really don't need any more cycling clobber - other stuff welcome.

 

[Blue Hills]

ok, here you are - for folk with small hands.

though as always planetx original prices should perhaps be viewed through a thick yorkshire fog.
