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.

Ooo la la. 61% off Pinarello Gan Disc Frameset
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.

This is a handy one if you’re looking to grab a wheel upgrade and go tubeless at the same time.
Wiggle has 35% off both the disc-brake and rim-brake version of Prime’s RR-50 V3 carbon wheels.
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.
Both the disc-brake and rim-brake version are down to £499.99.

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
In Le Col’s final day of feature deals, they’ve slashed the price on their Sport Bib Shorts.
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

For a while I've thought this was an unfortunate brand name. Several times I've seen cyclists riding towards me wearing Le Col jerseys with their right arm covering the L so it looks like they are advertising e.Coli.
A driver in a BMW not looking properly at a junction? Who'd have thunk it?
@bennysnnock Which is why training for a driver's licence should include cycle training, of course.
As someone who previously worked in the custom cycle clothing industry, I have to admit this news did make me smile. I'm sure the brand will rise like a phoenix from the flames, but just the idea that they've gone pop has lifted my mood. Fair play to Yanto though, I'm sure the brand has set him up, one way or another, for life; he had a vision and he delivered on it. But, having been at the wrong end of a strategy that involved outspending the rest of the industry (on advertising) and out-discounting on retail kit, it's nice to know that their 'be the last man standing' strategy has - at least for now - failed. One trick (let's be fair and call it a strategy) that really frustrated me back in the day, was the way in which they used to give university cycle teams free kit. All very upstanding you say, however their motivation was more; 1. get people in your kit young and (hopefully) keep them for life - fair enough - but more acutely 2. remove decent revenue streams from your competitors. Uni teams were great because every year there was a new influx of members needing kit - so LeCol just took the market, not to make any money, just to kill it for the rest of us.
@Rendel Harris Absolutely. I was just making the point that Surrey has a lot of 'couldn't care less if I hit you' drivers whose attitude is get out of my way and if you don't that's your fault.
Their socks were all right.
@mctrials23 All those play out in Surrey pretty much every ride.
@Smoggysteve: Just buy the red version. It's faster—everyone knows that!
"An updated Tarmac SL9 " wow, already 2 days after the release of the Tarmac SL9, that's really specialized!
The root cause isn't just training, it's lack of empathy with cyclists. The solution of course is to get more people cycling so they know how it feels to be overtaken with a 30cm gap, or they remember to check for cyclists when somebody waves them out into slow moving traffic.

£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.
