The road.cc DealCatcher is back this Friday with more goodies from our friends over at Cycle Surgery.
Today, we're tackling a great offer on Giant's Defy Advanced 3, the most fair-trade cycling product ever (apparently) from a company called Green Oil, Altura shorts, a Fabric tool, Kask helmet, a Vaude pannier-cum-backpack, and a Cateye computer and cadence sensor.
If any of that tickles your fancy, keep on scrolling. If not, well, maybe learning a little more will get your dealy juices flowing!
If you're after a brand new comfortable-yet-quick set of wheels, the DealCatcher's got you covered today.
Giant's Defy Advanced 3 has both of those criteria totally covered.
The comfortable carbon fibre frame carries Shimano's excellent Tiagra groupset, Giant's SR 2 disc-ready wheels and Shimano's BR-RS405 disc brakes.
If you want to know even more and see a close up of what the Defy Advanced 3 has to offer, check out our Video Just In below:
They call it "the world's first fair trade bicycle product," a claim we're sceptical over. However, the intention seems to be fantastic.
It's been well publicised in the past, that many cleaning products - including those we use to clean our bikes - are bad for the environment. So it's refreshing to see a product used in the cleaning process that's so focused on doing good rather than harm.
Plus, this is a total bargain!
If you're not a bibby kinda guy, the Altura Peloton Progel Waist Shorts might be a good fit for you.
Most of us here at road.cc are advocates of the bizarre looking bib shorts that are the trademark of road cyclists, but we understand - and are quite thankful - that not everyone in the world thinks like us.
Check out our guide to cycling shorts to get your head around the difference if you're not sure.
Fabric's Sixteen Tool carries - you guessed it - sixteen tools that'll help you keep your bike running smoothly.
We reviewed this neat little package last year and really liked what we saw.
The tool rolled out of road.cc HQ with an 8/10.
Our reviewer had this to say about it: "[The Fabric Sixteen Tool is] very neat and compact, and seems strong enough for most tweaks you could reasonably ask it to perform"
Move over other helmets, the Kask Mojito is here flaunting its road.cc 9/10 score all over the place.
To be honest, it can, it earned it.
Our man loved the small footprint and the comfort of the helmet when he reviewed it and said it was "hard to top."
When it comes to luggage and cycling the most important thing is carry-ability (yes, that's a word...).
The great thing about this Vaude bag is that it can be both a backpack and a pannier depending on your circumstance.
That flexibility is key for inner-city cycling and long distance stuff too.
Our final deal today is yet another road.cc 9/10 product.
The Cateye Strada was called "hard to fault" by our man Jez Ash.
He called it an "excellent cycle computer with neat new sensor and the easiest of user interfaces."
The deterrent effect is almost certainly due to the massively increased likelihood of the offence being detected. As with other crimes, if the...
