    I’ve been window-shopping the bike shops online and just wondered if anyone has come across any sites that highlight the latest clearance sales or such like. I mean some sort of deal-gathering site.

    There’s lots of banners around to get you to click on retailer sales, but its a bit of a job keeping track visiting all the shops.

    Seems to be loads of sites if you want mobile phones or TV’s etc, but not much for bikes. I’ve given up looking on those spammy shopping directories.

    Come the glorious day we’ll make school visits to nugget factories compulsory !

    Until then unfortunately £3-00 buys you 10 Pepperami, which the kids treat as a treat. That’s 30p each for a minute little sausage thing and I’d guess a massive margin.

    You need a degree in marketing to “undertand” that kind of thing.

    You need a job in marketing to even think that kind of bollocks.

    We have The Grocer (weekly trade mag) at work and it’s nearly all about marketing/advertising/packaging campaigns to sell more junk food to gullible people. What a way to make a living 🙁

    at least us cyclists have highly efficient hydration packs and happy to fill up water bottles at the nearest pub 😉

    Bit of an old thread, but I found this the other day while looking for some winter boots – bit similar to that bike one;

    looks a bit unfinished though I was after a helmet but not listed.

    Yes, I’m pretty lacking in that department !

    On the other hand living in the real world does stop me buying clingfilmed brocolli at £3.35 per kg, as against £2.20 per kg for the loose stuff 😉

    Mind you, some folks are probably spooked by those Dettol adverts and wash loose brocolli in it just in case there’s a bacteria on it.

    Oh yes, hadn’t noticed that ! I’ve seen some larger retailers do that (not cycling) – like the coop ‘good with food’ ends up at the coop anyway. Well not quite the same I suppose, although why anyone would type in ‘good with food’ instead of the coop is a bit beyond me.

    If you have all day to sit on
    If you have all day to sit on the internet, check out http://www.bonktown.com where most deals are 50% off or so. They just run one deal at a time until the time runs out or the item sells out, then they post the next one. Lots of gear, some good framesets and complete bikes from time to time. It can be a bit of a timesuck though. (You’ve been warned!)
