A bit of an expensive bargain BUT Garmin 305 is back down to just under £100 on Amazon, and free supersaver delivery.

JJB as usual have some good deals on selected lines at the moment. Picked up 3 pairs of running shorts and a Nike top today, all with good reductions on price.

The Nike GPS Sportswatch is due to be part of Amazon Black Friday time limited sale today (don't know what time though or what the sale price will be). Maybe worth a look.

For cyclists who dream of Assos kit go to Cycle Surgery and get 50% off with code TT111 - it's end of lines so lots of small and xxls,

My club had ASSOS as a kit supplier in the early 90's, but all we had (at the time) was short-sleeve jerseys/long-sleeve training-tops, & bib-shorts.

Oh, & skin-suits to special order

Thankfully, they were subsidised by the sponsors, otherwise the usual (ie; silly) ASSOS prices would have applied

Nowadays, looking at Ribble Cycles for example, a pair of Bib-Tights vary from just over a £100, all the way up a ludicrous £350!!!

 Or, £230 for a winter jacket

 Superb kit, but "ker-ching!!"

Now 'we' have Giordana, a lot cheaper, but still good (skin-suits are still getting on for a £100 though!!)

Old colours (ASSOS)

 

PS:

Does anyone know of a cut-price/discount supplier of Inov-8 fell-shoes??

http://www.faster-feet.com/index.html  doesn't seem to have the bargains it used to

Re; the Inov-8's

I got the sale leaflet through the post yesterday

Mud-Claw 333 down to £59!!! (5th-11th Dec only)

X-Talon 212 down to £69!!! (again, set dates only)

But, as usual, these prices will only be on remaining stock (& odd sizes like 4, 5 & 12, 13.etc....)

Millets have got 40%off everything at the moment and that is on top of other offers. Not much running specific kit, but base layers and stuff like that. They are doing those Camelbak bottlesthat keep the drink cold and are usually £12.99 each. They are 3 for 2 then with 40% off the total it's less than £16 for three! definitely some good pressie possibilities for those who like the outdoors

sportsdirect.com has a massive sale on, I paid £3 for £20 karimor cycling shorts and £52 for UK Gear PT-1000 running / trail shoes (rrp £95)

EwanGibb87

SportsDirect is great if you are happy to pay £3.99 postage. I only wanted a long sleeve tee at £5 so adding £3.99 seems a bit daft.

Primark have Tech T Shirts for £3

[Deleted User]

Amazon selling Saucony long sleeve half-zip tops at £11-12 (RRP £45-50). Various sizes and colours.

Plus an extra 10% off with AWFASH11 code.

Still loads of gear in my local JJB going cheap. I picked up a Adidas vest for £13.99 earlier reduced from £19.99, that was blue, if I had gone for white I could have had it for £9.99. But also see they had Run365 vests going for £4.99.

SR: JJB can be decent.Just depends when you go in. Their sales in January and July are usually good.

[Deleted User]

Yeah, I have bought a lot of stuff from JJB lately, it was stuff I was going to wait until the Xmas sales for, but found it on offer already, so bought what I needed before it all went.

[Deleted User]

Long sleeved tech tops are £3 in Primark ,again no idea how good this range are.

Ron Hill Tracksters at 2 for £20 at Sweatshop online - read about people wearing them in the What Are You Wearing thread and thought I'd pass it on. Already got mine! They have other stuff as well, but this popped out because I was looking at winter tights at £40 and up when I got the email, so felt like an opportunity. They seem pretty good if you're happy to cut the stirrup thingies off.

I was in Primark yestersay and couldn't find any of those 3 quid tech tops.

[Deleted User]

ewan: Sorry mate they had them until last week in central Glasgows (Argyll St and Sauchiehall St ) shops. Dunno about else where though !

ewan w

no worries Birkmyre, I was in the Clydebank one and they must have ran out or Clydebank didn't get any in the first place.

[Deleted User]

ewan: Braehead had them on Friday

ewan w

hmmm. might try Sauchiehall St one tomorrow. will be walking past it in the afternoon. 3 quid for a long sleeve tech top is ridiculously cheap. even if it doesn't last long who cares?

[Deleted User]

Ewan: My point exactly.£3 and £2 you can't go wrong.

Skins long tights £29.99 and shorts £19.99 at tk maxx!!!!
