Bargain of the year from Torpedo. Castelli Velo Jacket was $9999.00, now $59.99!!! 99% off.

Likewise, got a good deal on a Garmin

Rapha free shipping 'FREESHIP'
further 10% off sale items "SALE10"

currently racking my brains over what to get from the ebay pushys 20% off.

immediately i thought to get a garmin watch for the occasional (but likely to become frequent as i travel to south america w/o bike) trail running/jogging etc.

the fenix 3 struck me as good, but NO MAPS. then the maps version epix, is ugly and bulky. and TBH i doubt i'd use maps that much on a watch anyway. seems like a pain in the butt. maybe just preloading planned courses on it is enough.

then i though the 920XT will do fine, bit ugly but the screen seems bigger and clearer for numbers (i'd probably just glance down once in a while for HR).

now i'm thinking bugger it, i hate running, so might as well just get a garmin edge 1000 (which i was going to hold off for a newer model that should be due soon?). but the MAPS would be handy as i plan to do some serious cycle touring across SE asia. even though i have a quad lock for iphone mount, offline maps has always been a pain.

NOW i'm thinking of getting a edge 1000, and 920XT as well (because of teh discount).

can someone please shoot me?

Most of the common sizes gone

Put the Garmin in your pocket. You remember pockets, don't you? They allow you to walk and run without holding things in your hands then get your Garmin 1000 and be happy.

Sometimes, a device is a solution looking for a problem.

yeah but it's just not cricket. i actually want to see my HR when i run, and maybe do some of the other fancy stuff runners do. like splits, intervals and all that rubbish. i also don't want loaded pockets when running, who does? bouncy bouncy.

atm in the rare occasion that i do run, i am resorted to holding the garmin 510 in my hand. it feels stupid. i'm sure there's a wrist strap for it, but again, silly.

Yep, certainly are odds and sods, ordered the 26" LHT forks, which they no longer have any of listed, they sent 700C ones. What's the bet they say sorry, no more stock, bad luck, here's a refund...

Yep, I got stiffed, they sold all their stock...

Maybe me and my spare Garmin 110 could solve your problem

Damn it, just placed an order last night and didn't know about the 10% off.

Have you looked at the vivoactive? Cheaper than any of your other options. Really like mine as a compromise

vivoactive seems to lack a few features in the more premium models i'd think are darn neat might as well have the best! it looks nice though. i'll keep considering.

currently deciding not to get a watch yet, and delay it, as i won't be doing any serious running until maybe as far as late next year. prices should be significantly lower by then. think i'll just keep holding my 510 in the hand.

have a more immediate need for the maps on the 1000, with a major trip just a few months away in countries where cell coverage is likely to be crap. + i'll use my current 510 as a backup so strava misses nothing.

Some awesome prices at Pushys for Sidi shoes. Carbon wire vernice for about $270, most B&M shops have them for $500 and c r c about $450 I think. Colours and sizes are a bit picked over but worth a look if you are after some Sidi shoes.

yeah i paid 330 from c r c thinking that was a good deal, got a 2nd pair for 260 from pushys. thing is, if i'd waited i could've got another $20 off, as they released a code that had sidi as an exclusion, but it still worked (i checked). now i'm kicking myself (in my new sidi shoes).

Just keep an eye for the Pushys pricing, they have different prices on Ebay and their website for one item which come to the same price after discount. I'm pretty sure this is a breach of Australian Consumer Law, but it's not across the board by any stretch. A lot of other stuff is a great deal.

There is a wrist option you can use, I have one: http://www.wildfiresports.com.au/garmin ... r-310xt-ed" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Just need a watch strap and off you do. The only thing is that the Edge is rotated 90 degrees, but better than in you pocket.

As it happens I'm looking to sell mine as I now have a 910xt.

Agreed. I did see it this morning and it stated that price expired on 1st Sept. Yet it increased the price.

Pricing error?
