The DealCatcher's back from a long weekend of cycling and deal scouting with some cycling deals that'll brighten up what must've been a touch first day back at work this week.
We start over at Chain Reaction Cycles where it appears to be wheel deal season. We've picked out one wheel deal in particular - the smooth rolling carbon Dura-Ace 9000 C35 clinchers which are experiencing a 27% discount. That translates to a £400 saving. Tasty.
Next up we're off to Evans Cycles where they're discounting their 2016 range of Cannondale bikes. The best deal over there right now is the Cannondale CAAD8 Sora 7 road bike that's had £100 sliced off of its asking price.
Finally, we've got a colourful trip to Hargroves Cycles in store for you guys. The deal merchants at Hargroves have got a delightful 36% discount on their Vredestein Fortezza tyres.
Chain Reaction Cycles - Promoted deal
First on the DealCatcher's hitlist for the day is Chain Reaction Cycles' Dura-Ace 9000 C35 wheelset.
These carbon clinchers offer a fantastic mid-aero, lightweight riding experience that are designed to deal with everything professional racers have to deal with.
So, expect to reap the benefits of Shimano's wind tunnel efforts that have borne their new BLADE technology, producing what they call an aerodynamically superior wheel.
The 35mm deep 20.8mm wide rim and alloy breaking surface should see you right in terms of braking and rigidity, alongside the aforementioned aerodynamic benefits.
Evans Cycles
We're into our fifth 2016 month now, so we're keeping our eyes firmly peeled here at road.cc for some sweet 2016 model bike deals.
This is one from Evans Cycles.
If a 14% discount doesn't seem like much to you we'd suggest you've been spoiled by the DealCatcher's exploits. But, a 14% discount here translate to a cool £100 saving.
You're not only saving money here, you're getting your hands on an excellent entry level race bike, that packs something of a surprising kick.
Cannondale's CAAD range have championed alloy for years, and in 2016 they've thankfully decided not to sing from a different hymn sheet.
The sporty frame is worthy of upgrades over time, so if you're looking to start out on a road cycling career, this is a fantastic place to start.
Hargroves Cycles
Finally, we've got some tyres to show you.
Now, we're sorry to say that we've lured you in with the promise of a festival of colours, but we're going to have to dissapoint you now.
The only colour that's still available at Hargroves is the red.
Now that that bombshell's gone off, let's remind you that we're not in the disappointment business here at road.cc.
If red's your colour, and even if it's not, these Vredestein's are well worth a look.
We've reviewed three seperate Vredestein tyres here at road.cc and each one of them has rolled away with a 9/10 score.
The Tricomp shouldn't be any different. And if you're after a pair of red, low rolling resistance, fast and competetive tyre, you really shouldn't look any further.

It's hard to believe that you're speaking sincerely
There are plenty of youtube vids where an American is asked a simple question e.g. what is 3x3x3, and they haven't a clue.
I know it's a typo but a spinless government sounds marvellous. Not that the last few have been any good at spin.
