Reelight have a Kickstarter on atm and for €3 you get 20% off their regular store, which should be worth it for just about any lights on their site.

* though it looks as though you won't get the 20% until December 8 (i.e. that's when the card is charged).

Kickstarters started off well at first but so many them strike me as taking advantage of people, in this case not so much but crazy how many for profit ideas get funded

Very good deal. I bought this frame in Feb, think I got it for 1100 and I thought that was good at the time.
Very happy with it.
It uses BMCs Dual Transmission something something so depending on whether you want to run mech or electronic you may need to order a little bag of bits from a BMC supplier.

Does it take Di2 out of the box?

Kinda.
I actually had some photos I can attach as I emailed westbrook cycles at the time, I though I was missing some parts.
I setup Di2 and needed to get the Di2 kit, I think it was just a number of rubber stoppers to plug the holes where the cable guides would go if you were running mech. You could use tape if you wanted. I think I may have taped over the holes under the BB where the cable guide would go.
I can't remember if the rubber bits for the di2 wiring came with the bmc kit or was included with the di2 bundle, i suspect it was part of the bmc kit.
You can see them if you look at a di2 verison of the bike online and zoom in.
The chain catcher doesn't come with it either.
I think the bits may have cost 30-40e from the irish distributor.

This is not the same frame that Westbrook had on sale if it was it would be an exceptional bargain . This one is the cheaper aluminium frame with carbon forks (still a decent weight though at 1600g all in).
I believe that it is set up as mechanical with external gear cables.

Well would you look at that! It turns out I'm a dumbass, I saw a red/black GF and assumed GF01.
TIL that posting before coffee is not a good idea.

Road ID discussion moved to a new thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057517632

Everyone else, just report it if you want me to split something into a new thread. I'm not likely to see it if you just post about it in-thread, and you're making false-email problem worse. It's likely that a discussion will break out every so often, and that's fine, just report the message (as someone did) and I'll move them.

If you enter the code ARR96NT on the Road ID website, you will get a $1.99 discount (every little helps!)

I was in there myself earlier but are they for external use? It didn't seem like it? More under armour/base layer and compression?

There's a few different types of them in there. They're made from a polypropylene mix instead of lycra so they have a different feel to them than regular cycling gear but they have 3M reflective material on the zips so I'd say they're meant for external wear.
The marketing blurb seems to be that they're "Active" compression for use during exercise. They have a "Recovery" range too.
I just spent the last few minutes strutting about the kitchen in them like some weird fetishist. Felt fine

PX selling a 300L front light for €3 (90% off). Not much info on it, I suspect it's not rechargeable, but for €3 can you really go wrong?

http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIARHAFL/areo-halogen-front-light?utm_source=The+Planet+X+and+On-One+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=a433141127-2015_11_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_561486488b-a433141127-271312425&mc_cid=a433141127&mc_eid=b86902637c

There's also a big brother here for €9. Seems to be the same light, but rechargeable:
http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIARHFRL/areo-rhl-01-halogen-front-light

All of the other Areo stuff has good reviews, so looks like a half decent backup light.
