Merlin Cycles Frameset Sale
At the heart of any bicycle is the frameset and should you be wanting to build yourself the perfect bike for your riding, then the best way is often to build from the frameset up.
Merlin Cycles have a range of great framesets from the likes of Wilier, Pinarello, Ridley, 3T and many more.
So, if you’re after a winter project then you can save on the most important part.

Ooo la la. 61% off Pinarello Gan Disc Frameset
Buried within the Merlin Cycles frameset sale that we just showed you is this b-e-a-utiful Pinarello Gan Disc Frameset.
It would be perfect for building up into a super-fast general riding bike, sportive machine or even a weekend racer.
There is a range of colours available, but sizes are pretty limited, though check the Pinarello sizing chart as they measure their bikes slightly unusually.

35% off Prime RR-50 V3 Tubeless Wheelset bundles
This is a handy one if you’re looking to grab a wheel upgrade and go tubeless at the same time.
Wiggle has 35% off both the disc-brake and rim-brake version of Prime’s RR-50 V3 carbon wheels.
The bundle gets you a pair of wheels, along with a pair of 25mm Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance tubeless-ready tyres and the sealant that you’ll need to add. The wheels come pre-installed with tubeless take and you get tubeless valves too.
Both the disc-brake and rim-brake version are down to £499.99.

Wahoo is giving a free year of Wahoo SUF training to everyone that buys one of their bike trainers.

To the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left
Ok, you might not have clocked the Beyonce reference there, but if you’re in need of a left-hand Shimano Ultegra R8050 Di2 shifter then you’re in luck.
Wiggle has them at a brilliant 65% off. The right-hand shifter is only down by 41% though. How strange. We’re thinking that more people break their right-hand shifter?
Anyway. £49.99 for the left, £84.99 for the right.
You can get them here
Mega wheelset sale
Ah, we do love a good wheelset sale. Wheels are one of those big upgrades that you can make to your bike, but they can also cost a bomb. So saving a bit of cash is always welcome.

There is everything from simple upgrades over stock wheel to deep-section carbon race wheels.
Check out the sale right here

Samsung Galaxy Tablet - Perfect for Zwift at £174
Unlike the well-put-together adverts, most indoor training setups aren’t perfect.
We usually have to squeeze ourselves into corners, or set up shop in the garage. Indoor trainers often have to be packed away after each use, so a portable device for running your training app of choice is a great idea and we find that tablets are very good for the job.
With a 13-hour battery life and 2GB of RAM, you’ll be able to run training apps like Zwift and Trainer Road with ease.
Buy now at £174
Up to 50% off Fast Forward Wheelsets
These are the wheel deal.
Sorry, that’s terrible. Even for a Monday. Anyway, FFWD wheelsets are down by up to 50%, so if you’re looking to save on a wheelset upgrade this is well worth a look.
Check out the sale right here

I don't know what others think but I thought it was a mistake to cancel the event. I live in one of the areas they cycle though and it didn't seem to bad. Even the few accounts I have watched didn't show cancelling weather, waiting under a tree maybe.
@chrisonabike exactly, words are cheap. They can safely bang the drum knowing that little will or can be done. OK, some things could be done, but the chance of nobody cocking something up . . ? Realist or pessimist, take your pick; but still optimistic enough to hope that things will work out :-)
@ChrisA isn't this story more along the lines of "tobacco company is demanding government crackdown on nasty rolling papers and dangerous pipes?" Silly of me! How could there be any conflict between and "improving things for their ... definitely not employees ... and the public at large" and these companies' entire business model...?
"Deliveroo has announced a crackdown on modified and ‘dangerous’ e-bikes . . . . . company is calling on the Government to prohibit the sale of unsafe e-bike conversion kits." Really? Do they not know how difficult it is to legislate for such things, the politicians inability to understand details, the competence of the DoJ in drafting such legislation and what seems to be a widespread disregard of those rules; not to mention the total lack of enforcement. Just saying.
@Nigel Garage The Mercedes driver drove through the light three seconds after it turned amber. Official government text: "AMBER means STOP. You may go on only if the amber appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident." Three seconds is more than enough time to stop safely at the speed the Mercedes was going so the driver was breaking the law and therefore committing a prosecutable offence. Deliberately putting others at risk and breaking the law is not "acceptable" and if you saw a cyclist running a red in those circumstances you would rightly condemn it. Is there anything you can't be completely wrong about?
I see quite a few MAAP items out in the Surrey Hills. The new shop has a cafe and they're from Melbourne so the coffee should be good: I'm looking forward to visiting.
@chrisonabike Mercedes was acceptable, but the second one (old Toyota people carrier/ex-taxi) was a prosecutable offence.
I wasn't saying that nor talking about people who say that. I said it was silly to claim that wearing a helmet indicates acceptance of dangerous driving and poor infrastructure. I choose to wear a helmet; I also regularly report dangerous driving to the police and correspond with councils and road authorities about ways infrastructure could be improved for cyclists. I rather doubt I'm the only helmet wearer who does so.

£230 ?? down to £65
Picked this up a couple of weeks ago, very impressed, kinda like a goretex gabba.
You can get a further £50 off
You can get a further £50 off Le Col by completing their strava challenge https://www.strava.com/challenges/le-coI-rise-above-winter-challenge which brings those shorts down to £75 – I’ve just bought a pair this way!
Alternatively you can also get free gloves if you spend over £100 and go via my “mention me” link here. Unfortunately I don’t think these offers stack so go for whichever one is best for you. On paper the gloves are better (RRP £75) but probably not worth it unless you were in the market for new winter gloves anyway.
