It's been another busy day for the DealCatcher. He's been rummaging through the wide world of web cycling deals to come up with three crackers for you today.
First up is everyone's favourite greenie-blue bicycle brand - Bianchi. You can get your hands on their Intenso Athena carbon road bike for a bargain £1500 over at Hargroves Cycles right now.
After that you've got Science in Sport's GO Energy + Caffeine Gels which are currently experiencing a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Finally, Northwave summer socks are on offer over at Vanilla Bikes. Your feet'll thank you. Trust us.
Hargroves Cycles
The Italian brand's trademark greenie-blue colouring is gone, but Bianchi's brilliance is still there, underneath this strange black exterior.
If you're looking to upgrade to a full carbon experience, but want to avoid the sharp and quick racy builds, the Intenso's reasonably relaxed and comfortable geometry could make it the bike for you.
The Intenso runs Campagnolo's most affordable 11-speed groupset in the Athena, the wheels are Fulcrum's durable and sturdy Racing 7 wheelset, topped off with a San Marco Era Startup Power saddle.
Science in Sport
When we reviewed Science in Sport's energy gel, our man David Else said it was a "performing gel with carbohydrates for energy and fluid for hydration; tastes good, slips down easily, and is fair value"
If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the basic energy gels, you can read the full review below.
The ones on offer today differ slightly from the gel reviewed by Mr. Else, in that they are stocked up on caffeine to give you that extra boost while you're out on a ride.
Vanilla Bikes
Socks aren't just for Christmas; they're for life. And summer.
Summer socks differ from most of the socks you'll wear for the rest of the year in that you really don't want them to make your feet any warmer than they already are, and they'll have to be able to shift a fair amount of excess liquid. Sweaty feet aren't fun.
Northwave's Extreme Tecch Summer Socks are an excellent option for the summer months as they've got the sweat-shifting tech down thanks to the inclusion of Coolmax fabric.
They come in three great summery colours too.
