Happy shopping!
Wiggle
First up is Shimano's second-tier groupset. You wouldn't know it's second-tier, though, if you were looking at performance alone.
No, no, the Shimano Ultegra Groupset is about as good as it gets when it comes to bang-for-buck.
Our man Dave Atkinson reviewed the groupset and absolutely fell in love. We've never seen him use the word "really" three times in a row, so it's fair to say he was excited.
Excited enough to give the groupset a 9/10. You can read more about that love affair by following the link below.
Leisure Lakes Bikes
Leisure Lakes Bikes are up next. They've sliced a quarter off of their asking price for the Trek Emonda Race Bike.
Trek's Emonda series is the lightest range of production bikes they've ever created, and luckily for you guys the serious savings on weight are not isolated to the top end bikes.
The S 4 weighs in at 8.6kg, carries a Shimano Tiagra groupset, and Bontrager wheels all strung from Trek's Ultralight 300 Series OCLV Carbon frame.
Check out our coverage of the Emonda range announcement a while back for a little more information on what you can expect from your Emonda.
Vanilla Bikes
Finally, get your mitts on some top quality jersey ahead of the spring, which is springing all around us!
The weather is about to get better, and given recent history, if you get caught out by the sunshine, you may miss the only week of top quality riding conditions the UK has to offer in 2016.
Seriously, some of our best, most summery weeks of weather have come in the spring over the last few years.
So, if you want to be prepared for the sun, check out this jersey from Vermarc.
They've got history in our review department, have Vermarc. They make top quality, fantastially fitting jerseys and bib shorts that we just can't help but give top marks to.
Check out their MARE jersey review below for reference.
The Colora, despite it's questionable name, will deliver a great summery riding experience - the fabric is breathable and lightweight, the racing fit is comfortable, and the silicone strips that line the inside of the jersey will keep you chafe-free no matter how sweaty you get.
Communism!...
Clevedon: Controversial end of free parking 'will be monitored' after outcry...
That is a great idea. And surely someone will call them Arsegos.
Agreed - but with a bit more set-back from roundabout. Also how well respected is this in practice?...
I'm a bit screwed then, one bike has straight carbon forks and the other straight steel forks ...
"the cost to rebuild the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange is £317 million. The project is expected to be completed in 2025. "
I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.
Yes, sleep apnea produces more CO... I'm not aware of any doping effect but what do I know....
That's true enough. But doesn't address my point that the chainset you get as a replacement will not physically fit chainrings from the chain set...
In all fairness, it almost certainly NEVER happened…
