In today's DealCatcher we're flauting some big bargains on big names like Eddy Merckx, Castelli, and BTwin.
Things kick off over at Wiggle, where the Eddy Merckx 2017 Mourenx 69 has seen a whopping 40% discount. The Shimano Ultegra-running machine baring the name of the champion Belgian cyclist is quite the bargain, we reckon.
Next up is a bargain bike lock from road.cc favourite brand BTwin. The 720 U-Lock is available at Decathlon for a pretty 35% off its usual asking price.
Finally, Castelli's excellent Prologo is available in a range of sizes (not just the large linked below) and they've all seen a 20% discount over at Ribble Cycles.
Wiggle
Named after the Cannibal's famous 1969 Tour de France solo breakaway stage victory from Luchon to Mourenx, this endurance bike has high standards: stage-winning standards.
The componentry available on the 2017 model indicates that these high standards aren't just wishful thinking either.
The Mourenx69's carbon monocoque frame carries Shimano's fabulous Ultegra groupset, Fulcrum's Racing 5 wheelset alongside Deda and Prologo finishing kit.
If you'd like a bit more info on the Mourenx69, the Eddy Merckx range or the history of the famous Mourenx victory, follow the link below:
Decathlon
Now, if you're new to road cycling, or you're in need of a new U-Lock, but you don't want to break the bank. This offer over at Decathlon might be just right for you.
U-Locks are well known to be the safest of bike safety gear, and this number from BTwin is well qualified.
The 720 carries the B'Secure label, which is the "the only universal anti-theft certification, which helps you buy a lock that's suited to your use."
The lock is pick-proof, comes with two, numbered keys, and has a tamper-proof casing.
Ribble Cycles
Finally, Castelli's Prologo 5 - which scored an 8/10 on road.cc review - closes off today's DealCatcher.
Our man George Hill said the jersey brings together great breathability, strong looks, and a comfortable fit. In essence, it's the perfect summer cycling jersey.
Just in time for the weather to improve, eh?
