We're sifting through a mixed bag of weather at the moment, as we've grown to expect at this time of year. But there are bright spots; days that remind you that summer's not too far away. It's for those bright spots that the DealCatcher's bringing you today's deals.
Even if we overlook the summer-specific Bontrager jersey - and the rest of Evans Cycles' Bontrager bargains - the DealCatcher's got a summery feel to it today.
Boardman's all white Elite SLS 9.0 looks a whole lot more at home on clean, dry, summery roads than it does on mucky wintry ones.
And while Reynolds premium Stratus Pro Wheelset isn't technically summery, it'll make you feel fresh and springy with its 31% discount and extra 10%-off coupon code.
Happy shopping!
Hargroves Cycles
In our opening paragraph we did the Elite SLS 9.0 a disservice, talking about its looks is belittling the fantastic value and craftsmanship in its carbon fibre framed form.
The Elite SLS 9.0 is an endurance road bike that focuses on speed and comfort - elements that are evident in the 'female-informed' racing geometry, shock absorbing seat stays, and one piece carbon bottom bracket and chainstays that provide maximised power transfer.
The bike is kitted out with Shimano's full 105 groupset, Mavic's Aksium wheelset, Continental Ultra Race tyres, and a Fizik Vesta saddle.
For just over £1200 the Elite SLS offers almost unbeatable value.
Evans Cycles
Summer is fast approaching. We've spotted a few of you out there in short sleeves already on our #mycyclingweekend feed, so don't start telling us that it's too early to start thinking about summer kit!
This jersey from Bontrager is part of Evans Cycles' enormous Bontrager sale. There are all sorts of bits of kit available for bargain prices - you can find the lot by following this link here.
We've targetted the RXL Summer Short Sleeve Jersey, not only because it's seen one of the biggest price reductions of the lot, but because you'll get more and more value out of it over the coming weeks. It'd be terribly pessimistic of us to tell you to invest in a thermal jacket right now!
We know you'll get great value out of the RXL jersey, because we tested it ourselves.
I say we, what I mean is: Mat. Our tech editor Mat Brett took to the roads in the jersey and said that it "shifts sweat well and dries super fast," he also added that it "becomes more valuable as the temperatures rise."
Which is exactly what we hope they'll be doing in the coming weeks.

Finally, the least seasonal member of today's DealCatcher.
The Reynolds Stratus Pro Wheelset is Reynold's premium alumnium road racing wheelset, and it shows.
The excellent sub-1.5kg weight, laced alloy rims, versatility, and fantastic aerodynamic profile mean that for this £450 price tag, you're getting a lot of wheel for not a lot of money.
We reviewed a set of disc brake compatible Stratus Pros back in January - our man Iwein called them "light, nippy, and solidly built."
I was supposed to be in court next Monday as a witness to careless driving but sadly Birmingham Magistrates Court has been closed due to fire...
Funnily enough this does 95% of what my ex-Birdy did for 25% of the cost! Only omission on a commuter imo is the mud guards.

Going by updates, it looks like Chris' supplies were actually (accidentally?) donated to a local food bank. He now has them back.
LOL, it was Grace o Groats, that was John's mother; he didnt bring the correct messages from the Shop in scotland and had to go back again.
I expect a driver to be able to judge for himself how far he can move over without tipping over. If he does tip the tractor over into a ditch on...
No. You must have missed the memo about the new HC rules which put the onus firmly on the bigger, more powerful vehicle operator.
