Ahead of Thursday's bumper DealCatcher, our tireless deal hunter has been out collecting a few more bargains to tide you over - today they come from Merlin, Zovelo, and Decathlon.
Merlin's homebrew bike, the ROC 105 is an aluminium beauty that's seen 35% of its original price shaved off, Decathlon's 50% discounted Shimano winter gloves have come at just the right time, and Zovelo have sliced a third of the price off their stylish Morvelo race jersey.
So, grab your wallet, and tuck into these deals.
Merlin
The ROC 105 is pegged as Merlin's best ever aluminium road bike. We're not here to argue with the manufacturing wizards, we're here to admire the value of the Shimano 105 sporting, hydroformed 70005 triple butted aluminium framed road bike.
For the small price of £649.99 you'll be getting a fantastic sub-9kg bike, that'll give you a sharp, responsive kick when you get out of the saddle or when you're reaching for the drops, or it'll house you comfortably for hours and hours when you're sat up on the hoods.
Decathlon
Have you been bitten by the autumn cold yet? A couple of us here at road.cc Towers have had the horrid experience of a fresh autumnal morning sans cycling gloves over the last week or so; it's safe to say we don't need reminding about the importance of gloves as the weather changes.
It's not quite winter gloves weather yet. But if you think getting caught out by an October morning is bad, we can assure you that when the proper cold weather strikes, you'll really regret not preparing yourself better if you do roll up to work with frozen fingers.
At 50% off, these Shimano gloves represent fantastic value, and you'll be pleased you've got them ready for when the weather turns.
These mitts come with metallic reflective technology which will keep you from wasting all of that valuable infrared heat radiation you emit from your hands when you need it most. Also, there's a very handy conducive fabric patch on the thumb and index finger that allow you to use your smartphone and keep your hands warm at the same time. Inspired.
Zovelo
Finally Zovelo have slashed this Cafe Racing Jersey down to two thirds of their original asking price.
This isn't just another retro-inspired jersey. Whether or not you head out on your Saturday group rides for the exercise or the communal cafe stop alone, this top is fantastically functional and exceptionally good looking - at least we think so.
The antibacterial fabric will stop you stinking up your cake stop of choice, the tight fit will keep you flying through the lanes - even after the cake stop - and the reflective trim should keep you a little safer from the nights which are drawing in.
Many Kask aficionados like me love the (synthetic) leather chin strap. It's a little detail that makes a big comfort difference to me....
OK, probably going to get grief for this and called a victim blamer, but that's alright because I know I'm not, but the HC rules at junctions only...
"Mark Cavendish out, Chinese bikes in" Are most pro bikes not made in China? I know my Pinnerallo is. Strange headline I wonder if the company was...
But at least they're halfway there...
When you put it like that ... ...
I definitely agree that we could do with better crossings and junctions....
