No cheaper than buying the parts separately at Wiggle.

I own the standard Castelli Free Aero Race Bib Shorts and find them very comfortable. The only difference from what I have to the team version is that the team version appears to have colour and graphics on the grippers. At $99 these are a bargain and I'd probably buy more but 3 pairs is enough for me for the foreseeable future.
thanks mate. picked one up too.
for a change, they had all sizes available :D.
(I often find bib shorts on sale only have limited sizes, for either garden gnomes or man-mountains .. )

Aldi on Oxford St in Darlinghurst, Sydney, has work stands for $22- that's 45% off. There was about 5 left there this afternoon.
Aldi in Leichhardt has about a dozen tool kits left for $35- $5 off. I bought one, but I think you be better off spending around $70 for a Icetoolz one from Merlin Cycles. It is not as comprehensive, but looks far better quality.

I grabbed a few pairs of those castellis also.

I pulled the trigger on this the other day too: http://www.this link is broken.au/lezyne-super-c ... h-mapping/

was $189 last week, now down to $158. Considering this is very similarly spec'd to the edge 520 ($264 (AT) evans) it seems a pretty good deal.

This is the new "year 10" model so it includes mapping and all the phone connected trickery, unlike the less impressive "year 9" model which had no mapping capabilities. funnily enough, the newer model is more expensive than the older model...

Wiggle has 50% off Endura Hyperon bib shorts.
I was looking for a comfortable cheap bib shorts for commuting and at $54, this fit the bill.
Just received it today. Quality is top notch. Looks more suited for a short-to-medium group ride than commuting :D
Time will tell.
I did notice that the material is "lighter" than most of my other bibs. It's probably more suited for summer use whereas my other bibs are worn the whole year round.

I am a fan of Capo clothing, usually happy to pick up a kit for $250 + postage when on sale http://www.capocycling.com.au/

So how do think I felt when I found a kit of a Capo Corsa SL jersey (current retail for $200) and a Capo Corsa SL bibs (current retail $275) with a interesting design for $110 posted.

I bought the black kit from http://therollingherd.com/ and the day after the first kit arrived and tested, I bought the white kit.

In real life the design is more subtle, than the photos.

Only downside is payment by bank transfer only. However, I have done it twice.

ps tell em I sent you, the know my username from instagram after the 1st purchase

Ordered, thanks. Been on the lookout for a nice looking kit to get me into summer and that's a bargain for Capo.

Now to find some matching socks...

If anyone in the Perth area is looking for ByK kids bikes in the leadup to Christmas especially, Gumtree currently shows a 3 speed and 8 speed E-450 for $250, and a 2 speed E-350 for $225. That's about half price and they look in good nick.

Been keeping it simple, black socks with black jersey and white socks with white jersey (also white shoes, helmet and gloves)

Though if you want to add some colour

Power2max prolgue offer

Postby yanjarra » Mon Nov 14, 2016 11:26 pm

The new ng model is $399 extra only when you order a type S...limted to 150 units...type s generally retails for $1599 so would be $2000 all up for 2 power meters.

http://www.power2max.com.au/category/news-en

If there are any amongst you who would be interested in getting a type s I am after the NG as the type s wont fit 4-bolt shimano cranks....I would be happy to pay $1100 for the NG and you could essentially get the type s for $900 which would be a $700 discount to you off the standard price of $1599ish.


Feel free to PM me or give me a buzz on 0438 149 050 if that interests you.

Cheers,
Matt

What's the diff between S & NG? I can't really see much difference except for the bolt patterns.

Catchoftheday has some women's 2xu black short sleeve jerseys for $24. Looks like all sizes still available. Postage is normally $10 or so but if you sign up for their free 'Club Catch' 30 day trial (and remember to cancel before the end of the 30 days) and you buy $50 worth of stuff (2 jerseys and something worth $2) i think shipping is then free (check the rules).

https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/event/ ... &sid=57533

Just had another look and forget the extra Jersey, buy yourself a matching Gilet/vest to wear over the Jersey for an extra $17 https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/produc ... sid=373219

quite a bit of 2XU stuff here, they normally make reasonably good quality gear.

Men's vest Gilet, sz Large only $40 https://www.catchoftheday.com.au/produc ... &sid=cycle

The new features for Power2Max NG are:

– Dual ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart broadcasting
– Increased accuracy, claimed at +/- 1%
– Changed to USB battery power vs past coin cell
– You can now update your own firmware
– Slightly lighter in weight than before
– Inclusion of torque efficiency and pedal smoothness metrics

https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/09/pow ... eters.html

I personally would prefer the replaceable battery with longer life of the S, but as stated it wont fit my setup
