Enter the road.cc DealCatcher.
In amongst today's treasure trove of deals to brighten your week are a stunningly cheap Shimano Ultegra Groupset over at Wiggle, a bargain lightweigh Trek Emonda road bike, and the perfect jersey for those warm rides that are heading our way from Vermarc.
The retailers responsible for today's stellar deals, and those that you'll have the pleasure of visiting in as a result of today's DealCatcher are Wiggle, Leisure Lakes Bikes, and Vanilla Bikes.
Happy shopping!
Wiggle
First up is Shimano's second-tier groupset. You wouldn't know it's second-tier, though, if you were looking at performance alone.
No, no, the Shimano Ultegra Groupset is about as good as it gets when it comes to bang-for-buck.
Our man Dave Atkinson reviewed the groupset and absolutely fell in love. We've never seen him use the word "really" three times in a row, so it's fair to say he was excited.
Excited enough to give the groupset a 9/10. You can read more about that love affair by following the link below.
Leisure Lakes Bikes
Leisure Lakes Bikes are up next. They've sliced a quarter off of their asking price for the Trek Emonda Race Bike.
Trek's Emonda series is the lightest range of production bikes they've ever created, and luckily for you guys the serious savings on weight are not isolated to the top end bikes.
The S 4 weighs in at 8.6kg, carries a Shimano Tiagra groupset, and Bontrager wheels all strung from Trek's Ultralight 300 Series OCLV Carbon frame.
Check out our coverage of the Emonda range announcement a while back for a little more information on what you can expect from your Emonda.
Vanilla Bikes
Finally, get your mitts on some top quality jersey ahead of the spring, which is springing all around us!
The weather is about to get better, and given recent history, if you get caught out by the sunshine, you may miss the only week of top quality riding conditions the UK has to offer in 2016.
Seriously, some of our best, most summery weeks of weather have come in the spring over the last few years.
So, if you want to be prepared for the sun, check out this jersey from Vermarc.
They've got history in our review department, have Vermarc. They make top quality, fantastially fitting jerseys and bib shorts that we just can't help but give top marks to.
Check out their MARE jersey review below for reference.
The Colora, despite it's questionable name, will deliver a great summery riding experience - the fabric is breathable and lightweight, the racing fit is comfortable, and the silicone strips that line the inside of the jersey will keep you chafe-free no matter how sweaty you get.
They have had a reply, you can read it further down in the article. https://bicycleassociation.org.uk/news/press-release/60/60-BA-complains-...
