DealCatcher 2017_08_03.jpg
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.

Eddy Merckx Mourenx 69 Road Bike.jpg
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:
