It may not feel like it at times, but summer really is in full swing. What that means is the summer sales are rolling along at full speed too!

The road.cc DealCatcher has picked up on this meteorological phenomenon and has acted accordingly, gathering up the best deals from around the internet and delivering them to you in an accesible top ten list.

Among the deals below you'll find a bargain Bianchi, an incredible market topping carbon Mekk Poggio 2.0 deal, a Giant, and a Vitus, with a Kinesis frameset finishing off the bike bargains.

Later on there's a great deal on a SRAM groupset, a 3T wheelset, Lizard Skin gloves, Look pedals and some Specialized bibshorts.

Happy shopping.

Wheelies

30% off Mekk Poggio 2.0 carbon road bike
WAS £1250 | NOW £874.95

Swansea-based online retailer Wheelies are offering an industry-topping deal on the full carbon, internal cable routed, Tiagra geared Mekk Poggio 2.0.

Finished off with a R500 wheelset, this deal represents fantastic value if you're after a well-priced carbon steed.

Chain Reaction Cycles

40% off Vitus Bikes Chrono TT Bike 2014
WAS £1999.99 | NOW £1199.99

Decent TT bikes don't come cheap. But this carbon Vitus Chrono, coming in at almost half price, comes pretty close.

At just over £1000, the Chrono's short wheelbase and subsiquently stiff and responsive handling represents incredible value.

Wiggle

34% off Bianchi Vertigo (Veloce - 2015)
WAS £1,700.00 | NOW £1,125.06

The words 'bargain Bianchi' are usually enough to prick up the ears of any serious cyclist.

We reviewed the Bianchi Vertigo last year, and our man Stuart Kerton said the bike had "beautiful handling," which he put down to the bike's fabulously stable geometry.

Cycle Surgery

20% off Giant defy 2 Advance
WAS £1399.00 | NOW £1119.00

Fitting all of your modern road bike needs, the Giant Defy range looks to defy the growing segregation of comfort, speed and endurance in the road bike market, and focus on creating great road bikes that do everything you'd expect a road bike to do.

Benefitting from this the Defy 2 will serve you well on long rides, short rides, tough climbs, and through difficult weather conditions. Fitted with TRP Spyre mechanical disk breaks and Shimano 105, you'll do well to find a carbon road bike as well equipped.

Pro Bike Kit

18% off Kinesis Racelight Aithein Frameset
WAS £649.99 | NOW £535.99

Towards the end of 2013, our man VecchioJo rode the Athein frameset from Kinesis as it emerged onto the scene.

It's safe to say he liked it.

Kinesis's aluminium alloy, cutely named Kinesium, offers something punchier, racier, and lighter than the majority of the market's aluminium offerings.

Merlin

55% off Sram Red 22 Groupset
WAS £1,999.99 | NOW £899.95

When we gave SRAM's second tier groupset - the Force 22 - a 9/10 last year at £1124.99, we didn't expect to be seeing the component manufacturer's top of the range groupset for £150 less a year later.

Snap it up while you can!

Leisure Lakes

30% off Specialized SL Expert Cycling Bib Short
WAS £110 | NOW £76.99

Perfect for the summer months, the Specialized SL Expert Cycling Bib Shorts have been created with UV protecting fibres woven into Performance Power polyester fabrics.

With added leg compression, the SL Expert shorts could be the best purchase you make in the heat.

Evans Cycles

45% off 3T Accelero 40 Team Wheelset
WAS £1199.99 | NOW £659.99

The 3T Accelero 40's carbon structured aero rim, and a 6000-series alloy bed are the basis for wind tunnel data incorporated clincher wheelset that will not only give you a light ride, but a strong and aerodynamically sound one too.

Zovelo

50% off Lizard Skinz La Sal 2.0
WAS £21.99 | NOW £10.99

Summer months and cycling gloves don't always go hand in hand, but the breathable mesh base fabric will keep your paws cool.

Protecting your hands while your riding is important. There's nothing worse than sheering the skin from your palms, and these La Sal gloves have that in mind. Not only do they feature a durable Clarino palm pad, but the knuckles and thumb get the same treatment.

Hargroves

25% off Look KEO 2 MAX road pedals
WAS £84.99 | NOW £63.74

Finally, the lightweight Look KEO 2 Max pedals round off this summer special.

The composite pedals offer a wider body than their predecessors and the stainless steel upper plate offers riders a more controlled solid feel.

At the reduced price of £63.74, if you're riding Look, look no further.
