not sure 20% off Crikey, how much quite meets the criteria to be called a barguain

Sorry, it should go under the 'goods that are expensive, but have a high discount that leave the goods still being expensive' thread

Years ago I went to a Crikey, how much sale in London and for £20 each got a merino jersey two seasons old which is still fantastic and some 3/4 that were seconds. They are now looking ropey but considering getting a new set at £180 less 20%. It is a lot but they are easily the best 3/4 I have owned and lasted despite having marks and poor stitching when I bought them. .

2 offers, noticed rock + run have a few good offers on sleeping bags
And the second doesn't mean much at the moment (to me!), Amazon prime day is on Wednesday 15th, apparently it's like black Friday

Planet Fear shop in Keswick is closing down and they have 30% off everything including sale prices. Of most interest here is probably OMM sleeping bags - Mummery and 'pied d'elepant' type. Also a RAB Ascent 700 at half price.

The Outdoor Shop have some good offers on clothing at the moment with some stuff 50% off ... could be a good time to prepare for winter and get that new down jacket or waterproof?

I had to send some back. The front was just long enough for a 100mm 29er. No chance of the rear hose being long enough.

Thanks for the heads up. I spent £140 at about 12:30 last night!
Quite excited about the berghaus hyper smock 2 though... Under 100g and fully waterproof

Verenti fat bike at Wiggle reduced to £350. There's a few bits you'll probably want to change like the 42t chainring but it's the only 'cheap' fat bike I've seen that looks worthy of upgrading - Reynolds frame too, although I can't imagine that'll be every tube

Could you actually upgrade it enough to bring it down from the quoted 19.4kg? I did actually look at this bike a while back as my wallet was twitching and I've been intrigued by fat bikes for a while, but the fact it's 5kg+ on almost every other bike I've looked at was putting me off.

You could shave quite a bit of weight off without going mad - the standard tyres are 2kg each and I imagine the standard tubes will be 800g an end. It'll never be as light as some others but that will largely be down to the steel frame / forks. No reason why it should weigh more than a Pugsley though.
