    Buy it quick! They have to sell it to you at that price, don’t they?

    and you won’t get it at that price, E&O will sort that. It isn’t in stock for a start.

    1. It’s probably an error.
    2. I would have kept quiet about it just in case.

    RRP 999.99

    Buy it and see what happens? dont they have to sell it to you at that price if it is advertised like that?

    You can always cancel or return?

    yeah definitely looks like a typo. I’m thinking £899.99…btw when the hell did forks get so expensive?

    Its an invitation to buy, and since payment is via an automated process with nobody to spot the error they don’t have to supply.

    Probably meant to be £899.99

    Isn’t it just an “invitation to treat” or whatever it’s called…advertised price doesn’t have to be upheld blah blah

    2010 ones can be had on Merlin for £500. How did they step up to £1k?

    Very tempted to give £90 a bash tho…

    I Ordered a pair. Hope the 2 step function is sorted for 2011.
    I hope they are 1 & 1/8th steerer or they will be getting returned or an excuse for a new frame. 😐
    everything looking normal so far will (automated) confirmation email through already.

    CRC have done this before with a pair of FSA carbon timetrial cranks. AFAIK they honoured their side until the stocks ran out or someone got a chance to change it. Theres a thread on a forum called tritalk if you wish to have a read.

    Ordered. Don’t really care if the 2-step is sorted if I get me a set for £90.

    Feel a little bad about it, but I’m sure I’ll get over it.

    I wonder how many people managed to get in quick and buy them for £89.99? I also wonder whether CRC will honour the price for those that did?

    well I ordered a pair at £89.99… now it’s time to play the waiting game.

    aaaahhh the waiting game sucks, let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

    Maybe they were short a few quid and needed to have your money in their account for a few days to cover some bills, They’ll pay you back after the end of the month.

    I spotted it just after 3 this afternoon so my mate bought 2 and got the confirmation email with the price £89.99 so will wait and see but i dont see why the Lyrics have an RRP of £999.99 thats taking the p*** even the 2011 Boxxers are slightly cheaper and i dont rate them anyway.

    Its because these have a 28mm Hexagon steerer and are designed around 25″ wheels

    I had this with a Laptop from PC world a couple of years ago. It was up at £99.99 in their sale and everywhere else it was £399.99.

    So I reserved it for collect in store, printed off the conformation of order email and a copy of their online T&C’s which stated that as soon as the email is received that is the price that the goods are sold at even on collect & pay in store.

    Off I toddled with 3 work colleagues (they all got one too) presented the reservation emails to the store, saw the manager smack his forehead in a Homer style Doh! paid them the £99.99 and walked out with the laptop, they were most unimpressed 😆

    I checked my confirmation letter & it’s £89.99. Really wish I’d bought 2 now.

    2 weeks to sweat it out.

    Best of luck, print off their T&C’s too for online orders as back up

    No chance, from the CRC site:

    Whilst we do our best to ensure prices are up to date and correct, errors may occur and in this case you will be contacted before your order is shipped.

    Ah well, if you don’t buy a ticket for the lottery….

    Also, if they are out of stock, why wouldn’t they just tell everyone who ordered at £90 that they now can’t get hold of any?

    Would be cracking if they did honour the mistake. I would trawl the site much more often looking for a bargain. Like viral advertising :mrgreen:

    However if they don’t honour it – boo hiss! lol
