Great cycling deals on Specialized bikes, plus wheels, clothing and more

Looking for a bargain? Here are the latest great deals we've found, including a great entry-level race bike from Specialized, online retailer discount codes, fat road tyres at fast prices, bargain training wheels and a great price on David Arthur's favourite winter jacket.

Evans Cycles

Specialized Allez Elite 2015 Road Bike — £720.00

Specialized's Allez road bikes have a lineage that goes right back to the company's first race bikes back in the 1970s. The Allez Elite has a bang up to date aluminium frame with carbon fiber fork, and Shimano Tiagra 10-speed shifting. It's usually £900, but at this price you could add a load of accessories and still come under the usual £1000 Cycle To Work threshold.

Vittoria Open Pave CG 700C Folding Road Tyres — £29.39

Here's a relatively cheap way to experiment with fatter road tyres, with top-quality fast-rolling tyres in 25mm or 27mm width. The 'Open' designation means that these tyres are a clincher version of Vittoria's race-quality tubulars, with 320tpi casing and dual compound for grip. Our Shaun Audane was very impressed with them at £50 each so if you've been thinking about trying fat road tyres — and they'll fit your frame — this is a bargain.

Bontrager Serano RL Saddle — £67.49

A favourite at road.cc, the Serano RL has a classic raised tail/drop nose shape that many riders find very comfortable.

With 25% off, it's a bottom-cosseting bargain.

Wiggle

Shimano RS21 Alloy Clincher Wheels — £116.49

Summer is a good time to buy winter training wheels as you can pick up some great deals. Shimano's RS21s are reliable all-rounders that are startlingly good for just over £100. They'll work with Shimano and SRAM 11-speed cassettes, or 8- to 10-speed with a spacer.

Feedback Sports Pro Elite Workstand — £159.99

Normally £250, this Rolls Royce of folding workstations is currently 36% off at Wiggle. The end-weighted knobs make it quick and easy to use and the quick-release jaws are kind to paintwork. It folds down small enough to tuck into a corner of the garage or shed, but once set up it's stable and sturdy. "Wonder how i ever coped without one," said one happy Wiggle reviewer.

Chain Reaction Cycles

Sportful Fiandre No-Rain Jacket — £113.99

One to hang in the wardrobe ready for winter, Sportful's Fiandre jacket provides "incredible protection against the wind, cold and rain" as David Arthur put it when he reviewed this Belgian weather-fighter. David had a couple of minor criticisms but concluded "its ability to shrug of the worst weather makes it my favourite winter jacket". That was at the original price of £170; for £114, it's a steal.

3T Ionic 25 Team Setback Carbon Seatpost — £71.99

As well as saving weight, a carbon fiber seatpost will add a bit of shock-absorbing flex to take the sting out of rough roads. David Arthur really liked it, but marked it down for its eye-watering £199 price tag, so at £72 it's a bargain for its low weight and the fine tuning of your saddle angle provided by the DiffLock clamp.

Bikes Direct — £150 of free accessories

Dorking Surrey independent bike shop Bikes Direct is offering £150 in free accessories with every bike order when you quote 'DealCatcher' in store. If the bike is more than £1,000, they'll also throw in a free bike fit.

Take a look at their website and if the name sounds familiar that's because last year we covered owner Max Whicher's generosity in donating a bike to a girl with a serious illness whose bike had been stolen.

25% off a week of cycling in the Dordogne with La Vie en Vélo

New cycling holiday company La Vie en Vélo has an introductory special offer on a week riding in the rolling countryside of France's glorious Dordogne regione.

All your food, travel and accommodation will cost you just £595 and as anyone who's spent time in rural France can tell you, it's a great place to ride a bike.
