I also got 2 emails. To be honest, i am sick of all the 'sale' emails i get from CRC and Wiggle, never nothing that cheap from the norm. It is getting as bad as the likes of DFS.

2 from CRC, 1 from Stiff, 3 from Wiggle and 2 from Pricepoint in the US. Everybody everywhere seems to be boasting of massive discounts... and then failing to deliver.

Yep, I get the distinct impression that what Wiggle/CRC think is a discount, and what the rest of the world think is a discount, are quite far apart...

maybe they need a new "honest" marketing line "Frame and forks: a little bit off"

or

we all know no-one sells things at RRP, so we'll show you from now on it's "5% off Wiggle price" or "6.5% off CRC price"

🙂

Still normally a whole load cheaper than anywhere else you can buy kit from!

Try getting the sort of discounts that CRC and Wiggle promote from your LBS.
