still works, xt spds 30 quid delivered to spain....Evans are gonna go bust at these prices.
Evans are going to go bust at these prices
No they are not! we are just not getting ripped off as much
so what do you think the probability of you walking into a shop with 50 £20 vouchers and buying some forks from them are and getting laughed away
Thank you OP, fingers crossed for new elbow and knee pads all round for OAB_children, new cables, gloves, pedals.... 8)
£20 off a £1100 roadbike ain't that great!
You should have ude the 5% off code then 😉
if it's an error its both a typo and a programming error, the text for the code says £20 and thats what you get. Its only valid til Jan 8th.
I'd expect gift vouchers to get cancelled given they specifically state they are excluded though.
Just about to get some 105 5700 SPD road pedals, and a spare inner tube to push it just over the magic £40 threshold. Bet they sell a lot of tubes this week 😆
You should have ude the 5% off code then
poster was replying in the same vein to someone else who'd highlighted the code for a £1100 bike...
Ooooh nice one! Just worked for me. Thanks OP.
well two orders in and email confirmation for both..................here hoping!
Thnaks to OP
Liking the work sir. New shoes £160rrp, £60 delivered don't mind if I do.
It seems I'm neither unlucky or a biff... Just ordered a new Camelbak Octane was £65 reduced to £45 in the sale and I've just paid £25.... Cheers OP great PSA!
Oh dear I really need to save money but...
Xt 10spd cassette (34)
2xtyres (21)
10spd slx rear mech (29)
As three separate transactions. Broken my New Years no spend rule already!
Not expecting this to work but on the off chance have ordered a jersey, thanks OP
This is brilliant.. saving a packet on my new build. XT cassette for £34.99!
Ta very much, XT mech and USE shim purchased.
2 orders, 2 confirmation orders.
Dare I do another? Eyeing up some Spuik MTB shoes.
😳
Three separate orders:
1. 10spd slx cassette
2. two slx chains
3. slx rear mech
They'll go nicely with the CRC slx shifters. Oh, and the CRC deore brakes. Ka-boom
Two orders successful, third one seems to be stuck at "Processing" 😕
I had just ordered £50 of cleaning stuff for £20 after double discounts...
Then someone had to mention camelbaks!!!!!!
Now running away
New tyres (& some anti-seize, chain lube, tubeless repair kit, tyre boots) in two orders. £15 less than the normal price of just the two tyres. Thanks OP! Hope it works out.
10 speed XT rear mech for £20! OEM but that is outrageously cheap!
New tyre, no tubes sealant, new bibs, 2 orders saved a load of money, thanks evans
thanks op overshoes and some stans ordered 40.98 come in 4 quid cheaper at 20.98 than the overshoes.
but damn you now im looking at another order LOL
Just bought a new chain ring and tools, if only i would have waited. Spent 185 notes at CRC last night.
Tommorow EVANS will either be bust, or phone boy, will have very sore ears from all the abuse he will get when he rings customers to say it was a mistake or no stock, and very sore fingers typeing all those phone numbers and sending all those emails.
Lets just hope they dont use Yodel, or city link
Outstanding OP!
Thank you very much.
New gore bike jersey ordered.

So easy to send stuff back to CRC these days!
Excellent. I won't need to buy any more c02 cartridges for a wee while....
Thanks from me as well OP. Just ordered Giro Monza Helmet for £30 against rrp of £79.
Thanks OP - Garmin Ant adpater + some lights for MrsJ 😀
Here's a thought, will Evans be the first high street retailer to go tits up in 2013? 'right, we're phucked, put up a daft offer, get it on stw, and those mongs will fill their boots, and we'll scurry away wi the cash!'.
Me? Cynical? Na....
oops i did it again.....
10 speed cassette
10 speed mech (to match crc slx bargain!)
water proof shorts (reckon I really, really need them!)
cheers op and evans (fingers crossed)
xt mech for just over £20
and 6 inner tubes for about the same
Brilliant, worked for me. Thanks for the post
Excellent. Cheers
e13 xcx E-type chain guide £25 🙂 thank you very muuch OP
5 orders done.
I'm at £200 worth of gift vouchers and I am wondering if I should stop now......
Don't forget to use Quidco for 5% cashback too.
Hmmm, people really taking the piss now. I suspect this isn't going to get honoured.
Hmm, CRC parcel going to be sent back tomorrow, Order placed with Evans instead!
I'm at £400 worth of gift vouchers and I am wondering if I should stop now......
Well, if there's one thing that's going to make them cancel all the orders - it's everyone that has tore the arse out of it.
Yep, pretty certain that the £400 worth of vouchers is going to go nowhere fast. Might just hold onto the CRC goods until I'm sure that orders are going to be honered
actually I think it may have been spotted, I don't think my payment is going through...
2 orders for things i needed (ish) 😆
thanks, lets see if they come

It's more likely the amount of traffic on the site.
Thanks, got some spd shoes I've been after for a while for £35!
It went funny on me for a while - hence posting that I thought it had been stopped earlier. Also I nearly paid full price on one order as the discount bizarrely disappeared just as I was about to pay but I spotted just in time....
Hmm, CRC parcel going to be sent back tomorrow, Order placed with Evans instead!
Based on the analogy [b]“If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is”[/b], I'd hold your horses before returning your CRC parcel. At least until you know whether they will honour your orders or not.
FWIW - I've ordered some 105 pedals, a 105 cassette, a Charge Knife, a Garmin mount set, a tube, some lube and some road shoes. So I'm hoping Evans do honour the orders 😉 fingers crossed.
This is why I'm into cycling!
Riding bikes is ok, I do it upto one time per week.
Spending vast amounts of cash on shiney things I dont need is where the real fun lies!
I fully expect Evans to cancel all the orders due to a misprint. I assume they are closed today. Op should have kept this to themself. If I ran evans i'd cancel these.
It went wrong once and spat me back out, but then processed my order fine.
One pair of Bibs winging their way to Australia, no VAT, £20 off and free shipping, splashed out on a set of Assos bibs.
Then got a couple of smaller orders sent to the UK while I am over for xmas of just over £40.
They should honour the single orders 😈
2 orders, shorts and glasses on one, and tabs,bars,padded undershorts on the other. I only really need the drink tablets. Lovely!
i dint think they will cancel, the cashflow will be nice, they won't be losing
it might be the intended discount anyway
maybe they are scratching to pay tax bill at end of Jan, if so a few extra 1000's will help them out and shift stock on, you never know
I've ordered and paid by PayPal. Once you've paid, that's contract made isn't it? Up till then it's just an invitation to trade?
Is glasgowdan a competitor or broke? Lighten up!
Annoyingly, there is nothing I need.
Ah well. Good luck to those who took the piss with several orders 8)
I paid via PayPal (using CC)- I have found that PayPal don't always take the payment from our credit cards on the same date as the transaction was completed - can be a few days later. Not sure whether this "buffer zone" when taking payment would affect the validity of the purchase contract if Evans decided to cancel due to a mistake on their part.
Well I've had the quidco payment tracking email!
I expect they are hoping for a few orders that are at least a few quid over £40. (mine was closer to £50) And I notice that the sale is pretty poor in the lower priced stuff: (the things I bought were no more than 10% off) -perhaps they thought it would be a good way to get cashflow in, shift some stock and get a few new names on the database?

Which is annoying cause I need the second brake...
Came on the internet tonight fully prepared to pay £24.99 for a pair of SPD pedals, now I've got them and some Hope bling for £23, had an email through, whether it's a full confirmation or not I don't know but it'll be interesting to see if it shows up!
XT rear mech 🙂
Second order won't go through...
Not working now
Too late to the party 🙁
Not just me then Jonba. Had GP4000s ready to go. Balls.

HTH.
When in the order placing process does the discount show up? I'm needing some waterproofs and about to place an order but can't really afford to do so without the discount. It's not showing at the point of putting my card details in. Does this mean it's stopped now?
Edit. Seems so.

Looks like it
Stopped here too, just got 1of 4 pairs of shorts ordered before it stopped. Best check online banking as it states they will take full payment immediately, it will give an indication if you will hey stuff.
2 x purg controls for £40 - nice.
NOT.
Why do I always see these PSA's too late.
Bum.
Oh crap! My bad. I didn't realise that he said 'the gift vouchers', not the orders. Sorry.

as soon as you press the apply voucher button.
someones gonna get an ass kicking in the morning.....
Managed to get a spare x7 mech and a Spesh Hillbilly tyre before the party ended. Was in the process of ordering a Muddy Mary, a spare chain and a new chainring though 😳
