Merlin Cycles Frameset Sale
At the heart of any bicycle is the frameset and should you be wanting to build yourself the perfect bike for your riding, then the best way is often to build from the frameset up.
Merlin Cycles have a range of great framesets from the likes of Wilier, Pinarello, Ridley, 3T and many more.
So, if you’re after a winter project then you can save on the most important part.

Buried within the Merlin Cycles frameset sale that we just showed you is this b-e-a-utiful Pinarello Gan Disc Frameset.
It would be perfect for building up into a super-fast general riding bike, sportive machine or even a weekend racer.
There is a range of colours available, but sizes are pretty limited, though check the Pinarello sizing chart as they measure their bikes slightly unusually.

The bundle gets you a pair of wheels, along with a pair of 25mm Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance tubeless-ready tyres and the sealant that you’ll need to add. The wheels come pre-installed with tubeless take and you get tubeless valves too.

Wahoo is giving a free year of Wahoo SUF training to everyone that buys one of their bike trainers.

To the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left
Ok, you might not have clocked the Beyonce reference there, but if you’re in need of a left-hand Shimano Ultegra R8050 Di2 shifter then you’re in luck.
Wiggle has them at a brilliant 65% off. The right-hand shifter is only down by 41% though. How strange. We’re thinking that more people break their right-hand shifter?
Anyway. £49.99 for the left, £84.99 for the right.
You can get them here
Mega wheelset sale
Ah, we do love a good wheelset sale. Wheels are one of those big upgrades that you can make to your bike, but they can also cost a bomb. So saving a bit of cash is always welcome.

There is everything from simple upgrades over stock wheel to deep-section carbon race wheels.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet - Perfect for Zwift at £174
Unlike the well-put-together adverts, most indoor training setups aren’t perfect.
We usually have to squeeze ourselves into corners, or set up shop in the garage. Indoor trainers often have to be packed away after each use, so a portable device for running your training app of choice is a great idea and we find that tablets are very good for the job.
With a 13-hour battery life and 2GB of RAM, you’ll be able to run training apps like Zwift and Trainer Road with ease.
Buy now at £174
Up to 50% off Fast Forward Wheelsets
These are the wheel deal.
Sorry, that’s terrible. Even for a Monday. Anyway, FFWD wheelsets are down by up to 50%, so if you’re looking to save on a wheelset upgrade this is well worth a look.
Check out the sale right here
Le Col Sport Bib Shorts down to £70

We’ve reviewed these bibs in the past and were very impressed by the quality. At this lower price point, they’re an absolute bargain. The code that you’ll need is EXTRA30

If anyone reading this article is looking for reasonable alternatives Decathlon sell a range of bum bags including one with a bottle holder that comes with the bottle all of which are less than £20. I've got a bum bag I bought a few years ago to replace a North Face bum bag that has lasted really well including commuting and cycle touring that was only £10 and that doesn't seem to have any of the drawbacks of the pack on review.
@Borisface The frameset is similarly priced to e.g. Condor aluminium framesets such as Italia RC Integrato so it doesn't look too far off the mark. Obviously if you dress any old frame up with Campag Record 13 wireless and some decent wheels the final price is going to be somewhere north of £5k.
@Freddy56 @hotspanners Hi, just for for starters I didn’t boycott the race, if you read to the end of the article you’d have seen that I decided I was going to attend and try and implement a positive change… Just for clarity, if it helps with the credibility of my words and something I didn’t include in the blog for brevity and fear of willy-waving here’s an incomprehensive list of cycle events I’ve helped organise over the years - all Brighton Big Dog MTB events (about 12 i think), three league CX races and one Singlespeed CX Euro Champs (niche, i know), a few SAMS MTB races - maybe three or four it was a while back now, a Morvelo City Cross, I’ve stood on a corner in a high-vis vest at quite a few MTB, CX and road races too, and just helped wind up tape at last weekend’s CX race. I’ve also had the privilege to design logos, draw images, and create one-off pieces of artwork and give away prints as prizes for enough races and events for me to forget how many, all for free as part of ‘doing my bit’… Also if you made it through to the second half of the article you’ll have read that I have every sympathy for event organisers because of the experience of all the above and also from having conversations with various organisers on a regular basis so I am acutely aware of all the challenges faced. I chatted today with the future local CX race organiser mentioned, face to face in a field, and he has a similar hatred of AI and is more than happy for me to create a hand-drawn image to promote that race and also help out on the ground where possible… Might even draw a duck in there somewhere for giggles…
@Borisface Not entirely sure why some alleged good times set in the last century validate the silliness and ignorance of your rejection on the grounds of materials and weight of a bike that the reviewer (who, if you look at his bio above, has rather a lot of experience himself, not only of riding bikes but of engineering too) describes as "absolute perfection in every aspect". Thanks for the unrequested permission but I'm not actually looking to spend 6k on a bike at the moment; if I was, on the basis of this review and the photographs I'd certainly be putting this on my shortlist and looking for a test ride. But then in this area at least I have an open mind, you see.
@Freddy56 as the article says, Jo boycotted our race because he thought we’d used AI to design our flyer. I’m with him 100% but he got the facts wrong. People don’t like AI slop. It’s lazy and generic. But you’re right - these grassroots events run off volunteering. I wave flags, design kit and artwork, ferry things to our lockup etc - perhaps Jo could be the change he wants to see. He could volunteer to the London and SE CX league that he races in to help them out with artwork - he created Mint Sauce!
Currently riding home powered by this for the last 6 months after someone stole my SeeSence beam, LOVE it. super durable and batter life gets me home on full beam for 55 minutes
Comments and an article by people who organise NOTHING! Promoting an event is mostly by volunteers and an AI poster done at midnight after sorting the British cycling insurance, the toilets, the Marshalls, the council and a landowner is so draining. The effort is massive for usually a small team. Grab a flag and help rather than moaning about a generated image...o look the image is eye catching so it must work .
I have Wizzard works bag from 2018 (bought for my 30th) and this is a complete rip off it!!
6 times division champion, 1st cat road man, semi-pro for 3 years. Sub 21 min 10 and sub 55 min 25 on a steel road bike. Forty five years riding. Forgotten more about riding bikes than most on here will ever know. If you want to pay £6k for an aluminium road by all means go ahead.
@Borisface Probably for the best, if you're as ignorant about bikes and materials as your comment suggests you wouldn't appreciate it anyway. Go and buy something on the UCI weight limit made out of the latest space age super carbon and wobble around on it looking daft and feeling uncomfortable and to hell with aesthetics, practicality and real-world use cases, at least you'll have the right numbers ("6.85 kg, awesome!") and words ("Yeah, it's UHM 12k carbon, actually") for the cafe. Enjoy!

£230 ?? down to £65
Picked this up a couple of weeks ago, very impressed, kinda like a goretex gabba.
You can get a further £50 off
You can get a further £50 off Le Col by completing their strava challenge https://www.strava.com/challenges/le-coI-rise-above-winter-challenge which brings those shorts down to £75 – I’ve just bought a pair this way!
Alternatively you can also get free gloves if you spend over £100 and go via my “mention me” link here. Unfortunately I don’t think these offers stack so go for whichever one is best for you. On paper the gloves are better (RRP £75) but probably not worth it unless you were in the market for new winter gloves anyway.
