A ladies bike, a pair of road shoes, and some caffeine infused energy gels make up today's DealCatcher care package. Is your wallet ready?
We've taken a trip to Chain Reaction Cycles, Decathlon, and Vanilla Bikes to round up deals for you guys today - and the price reductions are particularly tasty.
The Fuji Finest women's road bike from CRC runs a 9-speed Shimano Sora groupset and has had a 20% discount applied to it.
Decathlon's 25% discount on Shimano's RP3 Road Shoes offers fantastic value.
And, there's a 20-pack bundle of OTE's Blackcurrent Caffeine Energy Gels over at Vanilla Bikes.
Chain Reaction Cycles
Finest is simply the name, though it's certainly up amongst the best bikes ladies bikes when it comes to value - especially at this price.
The Fuji Finest 1.3 is an elegant and powerful women's road bike; Shimano's Sora groupset, Fuji's women-specific double-butted aluminium frame, and the FC-770 Cross carbon fork see to that.
The bike's the perfect sportive machine. Relaxed geometry, disc brakes, and an impressively light weight, considering the componentry, make the Finest an excellent ride in all weather conditions.
Decathlon

Our reviewer Steph Mann took a batch out for a spin, or two, or three, and said that the gels tasted good, were easy to open, and delivered a great energy boost.
What's more, those were the caffeine free gels. Imagine the boost you'd get from one of these.
It was the one where the company was having a day out, and one of the activities was a bike race, for which helmets were provided, but one guy...
