The DealCatcher's got three massive cycling brands - Specialized, Shimano, and Castelli - for you lot to drool over in today's DealCatcher.
Getting things off to a roaring start are Evans Cycles. They've currently got a massive sale on their 2016 Specialized bikes, including this stunning 25% discount on this year's Allez Sport.
Second are Ribble Cycles and their deal on Shimano's incredible Ultegra 6800 groupset. We reviewed it incredibly favourably a little while back, so at a 54% discount, you're certainly on to a winner here.
Finally, Cycle Surgery have a great deal on a particularly summer Castelli 5.1 Aero jersey. We've not had a chance to review the 5.1, but we have reviewed the 5.0 - a link to that review can be found further down.
Evans Cycles
Speciailized must be doing something right. Not only do their Allez models sell like hotcakes year after year, they alos represent - at least they did in 2014 - the third most stolen model of bike in the UK.
We expect their 2016 model to follow suit - not in the theft stakes - rather in the quality stakes.
When we reviewed the Allez Comp back in 2012, our tech editor Mat Brett called it "value-packed" that "puts in a strong performance across the board."
This year you'll be getting Shimano's 9-speed Sora shifters and chain set, a Sunrace cassette, an AXIS Classic wheelset, all hung on Specialized's excellent E5 Premium Aluminium frame.
Ribble Cycles
There's not much more the DealCatcher can do here that our man Dave Atkinson hasn't already dne in his Ultegra review to convince you that Shimano have hit the ball out of the park with their Ultegra groupset.
So, we'll leave the convincing of quality to Mr Atkinson - the 9/10 review can be found below - and we'll just make you aware of the incredibble price drop you've got infront of you here.
Over two years, a 54% drop in price is fantastic. You were already getting fantastic value for money at full price, but at £430, this groupstet that offers "fantastic braking and great shifting" is stunning value for money.
Cycle Surgery
Finally, Castelli's Aero Race 5.1 Jersey rounds off a terrific set of deals in today's DealCatcher.
if you want to spend the summer scything through the wind, this is your ticket to victory.
Equally, it'll scythe through the wind in any season, we only suggest the summer because the jersey is exceptionally light - weighing in at 103g - so you'll stay nice and cool even if you're not powering to glory.
If you want more of an idea what Castelli can do in the aerodynamic jersey department, check out our review of the 5.0's cousin, the 5.1 jersey.
