Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Crazy discounts on lightweight (14-15Kg) GT hybrid and gravel ebikes at Pauls Cycles, that use the Mahle X35 rear hub motor, a 250Wh battery and hydraulic brakes.

~£1050; 1250; 1450

Nice price! A grx400 (tiagra) gravel bike wouldn't be much less and being hub drives less wear on drive chain...

Great to think when I need one it will be old tech!!

I walked into Evans Cycles to pick up the Trek District following the accident repair and handed over some virtual money in exchange for a 2024 Specialized Tarmac SL7 Comp (105 DI2 group set)

£2,499.

I don't think I've seen them that cheap anywhere. I've found it discounted online but not by that much and not in my size.
Also, possibly the most hypocritical puchase I've made, on account I don't like Specialized's ethics as business and I don't like contributing to Frasers Group's bottom line. By all acounts though, a very good bike if going fast is your thing.

The wheelset doesn't seem like much to write home about, but dare say they'll get the job done.

On edit: it was available much cheaper, late last year!

A new 54cm Raleigh Criterium Sport bike in Wakefield for £229 each. Appears collection only. Review here from 2017 when they were £800 with a 10-speed Tiagra groupset. There's also a new Claris-equipped Criterium 56cm in red for the same price., which isn't such a bargain imo.

Also in this weeks 'middle of Lidl' is a (Crivit branded) torque wrench for 12.99/14.99.
Bought.

Have you had a chance to use this yet? I've seen them in my local Lidl but wasn't sure if they were worth the cash

Not yet. But, on inspection, they are sturdily constructed, and the variable torque setting 'feels' solid/reliable.
Hope this helps Llama!
