Once again the DealCatcher's been sharp enough to pick up on a cracking deal on a bike that we absolutely love here at road.cc.
The Specialized Tarmac Comp was awarded with a 9/10 road.cc review last year when our tech editor David Arthur reviewed it. Today, you can get your hands on it for a quarter of its original price over at Leisure lakes. Scroll down and check out the deal, plus a link to our review.
Following that, the DealCatcher's found a very good looking Levis commuting jacket at a 40% discount over at Evans Cycles. Perfect for those of you who like to cycle short distances to the office, or casually around town.
Finally over at Chain Reaction Cycles you can find a cracking deal on a pair of top-of-the-range Northwave road cycling shoes. We've had Extreme Tech Northwave shoes in for test before and they performed very well - going home with a respectable 8/10.
Happy shopping.
Leisure Lakes Bikes
Not only are you getting a bargain bike with this deal from Leisure Lakes, you're getting a bloody good bargain bike.
The Specialized Tarmac Comp is a carbon racing bike carrying Specialized exclusive Fulcrum S4 wheels, a Shimano Ultegra groupset, and a Turn Zayante crankset.
According to our man David Arthur who gave this stunning set-up a 9/10 when he reviewed it last year, the Tarmac Comp provides riders with a heritage racing set-up that looks smart and delivers a powerful and engaging ride.
Evans Cycles
Not all of us here at road.cc spend large portions of our time rolling around in lycra and spandex. There are a few of us in the office alone - as well as a number of our reviewers - who spend far more time pedaling about in a civvies.
Regular clothes, though aren't the best things to be riding in. Specialised garments, like this Levis Commuter Windbreaker Jacket, are far more suited to a riding position.
The Windbreaker features Thermo Cool fabric which will provide you with enhanced breathability and climate control in the cool as well as the warm. The jacket also features an Exropel finish that repels water and muud, meaning you'll not only stay dry in passing showers, you'll be able to clean the jacket with ease.
Chain Reaction Cycles
Finally, Chain Reaction Cycles are here with a huge 53% off their range of Northwave Extreme Tech Plus road shoes.
The name doesn't lie in this case, the Northwave Extreme Techs feature a reasonably large amount of tech for a pair of shoes.
The ultralight carbon sole features an Extreme Air Footbed for excellent ventilation, as well as antibacterial and anallergic protection.
An integrated heel system helps improve the shoe's foot support and power transfer while saving on weight, and the implementation of BioMap technology means your foot will be kept in the optimum position within the shoe to maximise your power output.
We had a pair of Northwave Extreme Techs in for review a few years ago. The technology might have moved on slightly, but the overall vision hasn't changed. We liked them back then, things can only have gotten better, right?
