LCC actually have a decent new-member giveaway for a change: you get an ABUS Ultimate D-Lock £45 list-price (rarely discounted online AFAICS) with LCC membership at full price £49 or household £75, not concessions, while stocks last.

You don't have to be in London to join LCC but I'm not currently an LCC member but maybe some on here could make themselves known as referrers if they'd like a D-Lock too.

My imagination or has there been a massive fall-off in bargains posted the last couple of months?
Reduced stock levels/supply issues maintaining prices?

A big drop-off as retailers cope with massive demand and reduced staffing, together with supply issues in a lot of areas. It's a temporary boom for them, which I hope stays as a longer-term boost.

However, the oddity is seeing retailers such as Cycle Republic and Cycle Surgery shut down during the same time.

Cycle Republic & Cycle Surgery closures to me was due to the huge overheads in city centers for the stores, they never saw this coming, as much as anyone else could have predicted what's happened over the last few months.

Yes they do, they have let Cycle Republic go, using Tredz for on line And Halfords for walk in sales, the Cycle Republic in Leeds City Centre must have had massive overheads, it would probably been better being in one of the retail parks on the outskirts of Leeds.

Here's one for you or anybody who takes sizes 37 to 42 in footwear - Gaerne Gore-Tex boots with Vibram soles & SPD compatible (you could probably use them as flat boots) for only £37.50 from Chain Reaction Cycles https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/gaerne-g-mid-gore-tex-off-road-shoes-2019/rp-prod199169

I've just bought a pair of those. Exact size for my feet as the next size up was OOS so we'll see. But might just be perfect. Thanks for sharing

I really shouldn't ask as I think I am sorted but since the price is so good would be interested in your feedback when you get them, including on sizing. Vibram soles are really good.

Seen the new type (internal cabling) Tiagra shifter R/h on sale from Wiggle £66 down from £110, actually seen used shifters sell for a lot more on Ebay.

Sorry my mistake.

That's a decent price. I've got big hands and really like the relatively long throw on that model.
