Grab yourself one of three great deals from the depths of the online cycling retail industry with the DealCatcher today.
A visit to Leisure Lakes Bikes was first on the DealCatcher's agenda, and he returned with a 2016 aluminium Specialized Diverge Sport A1 equipped with disc brakes, and a Shimano Sora groupset.
Second up is Merlin Cycles, where a half price pair of Altura Progel Comp Bib Shorts were found for you. We reviewed them back in 2014, you can check out what we had to say later in the article - just know that they're a "great fit".
Finally the DealCatcher paid Science in Sport a visit. He returned with a cracking Endurance pack deal for as littel as £6.99. For your money you'll get a selection of energy gels and bars, as well as a free water bottle.
Happy shopping!
Leisure Lakes Bikes
The Specialized Diverge Sport A1 is the DealCatcher's first dabble in discounted 2016 model road bikes.
The Diverge Sport A1 is an all-rounder. It's as comfortable on smooth inner-city tarmac as it is on pothole-ridden countryside lanes. Its AXIS Classic Disc wheelset and Tektro Spyre disc brakes will see you right in wet and muddy conditions, and the Specialized A1 Premium frame offers unrivaled comfort for an entry level bike.
Merlin Cycles
As we mentioned earlier, we had the Altura Progel Comp bib shorts in for test back in 2014. Our reviewer Iwein was quick to herald the fit of the bib shorts. He had this to say:
"They are nice and tight, support the thighs well, and do not bunch up when you're on the drops. The mesh straps are snug but comfortable and the pad feels high quality and follows your behind's contours"
