Pushys Boxing day sale is already underway ( yesterday actually for some). Some good things on there, gloves, saddle bags, etc. I grabbed a pair of gloves, tube and a tee shirt. Postage killed the deal though...

Freeship wasn't available (tried the freeship code and didn't work with various amounts). I even contemplated spending $100 and had $101 in my basket at one stage but came to my senses and decided I didn't need all that stuff.


Btw Ribble is having their January sale on now as well (mucketering!) Haven't had a look yet but should be interesting.

Wondering what you guys think of this:

At $2511, verbal quote of $2380, seems to be the cheapest DI2 bike I've seen.

Good bike, reasonably light.
Except for wheels (require immediate replacement) and cheap compact crankset. Also think of a saddle (most people have their own) and pedals.

Looks like 99 Bikes also have a higher end Merida Scultura Di2.

At roughly $700-$1000 more (depending on best price they can give), it looks like the 7000-e gets better wheels, brakes, tyres, cassette, headset, crankset and stem.
On paper it looks like it's worth the upgrade, but am I going to notice the difference? I'm going to be using this bike mainly for commuting.

Agree, this upgrade is not worth $1000. BTW wheels - Fulcrum Racing 3 - hardly any better, I can sell an almost new pair for $200 (with cassette)

I'll take one of these new sets of fulcrum 3's with a new cassette

I was expecting to spend a lot of money on this but bought not much. A pair of shorts and two pairs of socks. Very limited sizes.

If you like your lightweight carbon wheels, Farsport have some good value ones right now

eg 50x25 for USD528 down from USD606

The rims are 520g each and you can get a hub at 360 a set, so something easily under 1500g is doable

No way will the weight be under 1500g once you account for spokes and nipples.

Yeah kinda disappointed as I wanted a good jacket for the upcoming autumn/ winter.
They only had XS in stock pretty much as soon as the sale was on.
The sprinter jeans were also N/A.

Merlin http://www.merlincycles.com have a 7.5% applied at checkout offer if you spend over GBP200 and 5% if over GBP100 roughly $400 and $200 respectively. Seems to apply to everything - no code needed.

Ends 4th Jan

Pity most of their prices are 15% more than other UK online stores so 7.5% discount is really nothing special at all

Shame Merlin's shipping to Australia is so slow... 6 weeks for a set of wheels- never again!!

Interesting to know why... I ordered some items from them in November, on a Friday evening. Shipped after the weekend and arrived about a week after that.

Not really a special, but I think the price is a cracker for the White Gloves :)
