That's it, we're through the worst of it. The week is over half way done, and by our watch that makes it time to congratulate ourselves.
If you order now your delivery will almost certainly arrive before the weekend, so why not make those last two and a half days easier and far more exciting by buying yourself something to look forward to?
There's a great selection today in the shape of high-end carbon bike frames from Boardman, BTwin's stunning Ultra 900 carbon road bike, and a great selection of vintage cycling caps from Vanilla Bikes.
Happy shopping!
Boardman Bikes
Boardman Bikes' Factory Outlet store is hiding some pretty big bargains from last year's range.
The majority of their framesets are sitting pretty at 40% off, but only feature in unusual sizes, so if you're exceptionally tall, or particularly short, check out the SLS 9.8 frameset or one of the two quick release or through axle CXR framesets.
The one we've featured here today, while only discounted at the 30% mark, is currently available in the full range of sizes. So, if you're looking to upgrade your frame to something higher-end, look no further.
Boardman's SLS range is their Super Light Endurance Series - aimed at riders who are looking to ride long distances quickly and comfortably.
This number, which is disc brake ready, weighs in at 950g - with a 400g carbon ultralight tapered fork. It's internal cable routing ready for both mechanical and Di2 systems, and has had its geometry geared towards stability, strength and stiffness, as well as comfort to keep you happy on those long endurance rides.
If you want a little more information of Boardman's 2014/2015 range, check out our coverage of their launch event.
Decathlon
BTwin's top-end Ultra range of carbon road bikes are just as suited to the sides of pyrenean mountain passes as they are to countryside club rides in the UK.
At the short price of £1,200, the Ultra 900 is quite the bargain. Shimano's stunning 105 groupset - which we gave 9/10 to when we reviewed it - gets things moving, it sits on BTwin's own AERO 2024 wheelset which is both aerodynamic and lightweight, and it's topped off with a Fizik Arione saddle.
You'll struggle to find a set-up as capable for this price, and Decathlon aren't known for regularly slashing the prices of their already extraordinarily cheap bikes, so grab 'em while they're hot.
Vanilla Bikes
Finally, if you're on the look out for a quirky gift to give a cyclist, or you're looking for a cycling cap to take into the summer months, here's the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Vanilla Bikes have currently got a massive sale on their rather large range of Apis Vintage Cycling Caps.
With classic designs - like Mapei's famous multicoloured boxes - and vintage brands, you're sure to find something that suits you.
And at £4.99 a pop, why not treat yourself to a couple?
