How long do we expect these discounts to hang about for? I'm tempted by a relatively cheap hardtail (~£700-800) for pissing about on but won't have the spare cash for 2 or 3 weeks.
I like the Vitus Sentier or the Ragley Mmmbop and Piglet.
They’ve been around for a while so you should be ok providing that they don’t run out of stock. I like the Vitus Sentier or the Ragley Mmmbop and Piglet.

Just to add to this. Returns to wiggle/chain reaction going thru as normal also.
Item bought 2 weeks ago rpm Chain Reaction, returned a few days ago (unopened, no longer needed) via their returns form, and money refunded with no problems.
I sent a Jacket back the day it arrived - I know it has been received by them from the returns courier "Intelligent returns", but I have heard nothing from Wiggle. I contacted them and was told it could take until January - tempted to do a Credit Card Charge BackItem bought 2 weeks ago rpm Chain Reaction, returned a few days ago (unopened, no longer needed) via their returns form, and money refunded with no problems.
I've been trying to pounce on a few good deals over the past few days but even selecting "Show in stock items only" more often than not, the basket section then says "not in stock" which is frustrating. Missed out on some £19.99 pedals down from £129.99 and a seat for £2.99. However, I have ordered a MTB light that was down to £29.99 and today, following a rather grim call from the bike shop telling me my front shocks are in essence, utterly knackered... I've just ordered a set of RockShox front forks. Needless to say I'm sweating slightly that a) they don't arrive and b) I don't see my money ever again...

I'm sure they'll find a buyer, I'm not a underwriter anymore, but CRC made a £2.5m profit in 2022 and had a net worth of £51m. It's the parent company that's st the bed.
It looks like they are keen to dump all the stock for whatever they can get, rather than sell the business as a going concern?The bike market was probably a tough environment this year, dumping a lot of stock at 40% off won't make it a nicer place for anyone who buys this company, or its competitors
