Good deal that, cheaper for me to buy them online than in the shop.
Yeah my broken one is this R3 in Grey/Black, the cheap one is the unnumbered black one and the Open is the White R3 one. Will dig them out later for some pictures.I could give the first one a shot. My mate has an r5 he got straight off an aeroad and sitting on it in the carpark it feels comfier than the zero.
The R7 seems to be an OEM version that you can find on ebay, as is the R5 maybe.
Mega deal. Works on the Tubeless too, £53 down to £42.40!Just saw these on hukd...

Continental GP5000 for £32 (£8 comes off the price when you add it to your basket). Good price.
@Berger I'd really contemplate not worrying about what you've already got and just get a cheap bike with all the kit on it already. Saves so much faff and usually they work out cheaper. If you can get a full CX bike with mudguard mounts and Tiagra for 1k go down that route and get rid of any old stuff you're not using. I went through the same thing when I replaced the Ridley and it just worked out better getting something new would be cheaper in the long run as all the kit will be new and warranty covered and means you can just ride it. Sure something in your size would be dirt cheap as well.
Propel Advanced 2 2019 Disc for ~£1500. Amazing price, 105 hydraulics but still. Not really what Berger needs for winter duties though
The Dolan RDX is available built with R7000 105 hydraulics for £999 - just need to add mudguards (£30) and pedals of your choice
I thought they moved from Google Maps to Mapbox (using OpenStreetMap) quite some time back when Google started charging to even embed a map.Oh dear what have strava done with their maps. Presume they've stopped using Google maps. It looks awful now!

I loved the Arione and thought I got on well with it, thinking that my quite big quads needed a narrow saddle. But as soon as had the opening on the Specialized BG Phenom with a wider nose it was a revelation. So much more comfortable over longer distances or higher mileage weeks/more fatigued riding. I think I move around quite a bit on the saddle so the wider nature and cutout cause less chafing. The Phenom didn't work for me on the turbo though, so that's where I got the Arione Open. I'd probably have stuck with it but several people I know switched to the Specialized Power and I was able to grab one at a great price and really get on great with it. Without that £50 bargain I'd never have tried one and stuck with Fizik.

saw this earlier this year, crackign deal but when i click on the link again, there's a contender:Propel Advanced 2 2019 Disc for ~£1500. Amazing price, 105 hydraulics but still. Not really what Berger needs for winter duties though
Yeah it looks like a paint by numbers gone wrong. Routes/plots also look far too blocky/vector type rather than smooth. Gah! Sure hope it's just teething issues as Fitness & Freshness keep breaking for me too. Sometimes the 'numbers' load wrong (my Fitness score sometimes reads over 100 when it's 53), other times when it populates the graph is 'frozen' and I can't highlight or scroll across it.Oh dear what have strava done with their maps.

Great deal, 32% off is nice. But the Sport frameset is bottom of the Tarmac range. It's Fact '9r' carbon which is the cheapest, heaviest and most compliant stuff. Good sportive/endurance type stuff, but not stiff or light. Geometry is said to be slacker on the Sport ranges but can't confirm that.saw this earlier this year, crackign deal but when i click on the link again, there's a contender:

in this case, i will probably pick the tarmac instead. but ...just all talk, not in the market for another bike lol

The Expert, which is also on a fantastic 34% sale is using Fact 10r carbon which is only 1 step below their top Fact 11r which they only use on S-Works frames. The frame itself is listed at around 200g lighter than the Fact 9r carbon and that's without any other savings from the other carbon components, carbon wheels and Ultegra.
But is it really worth £1000 more? Frame alone, no, but combination with groupset and carbon wheels. Possibly...
