If your bank account isn't completely empty after Christmas and New Year, then there are plenty of deals around on bikes, clothing, components and accessories in the January sales.
It's a great time of year to be looking to buy new kit. With 2017 products now available, everyone is desperate to get rid of their 2016 stock, even if the only thing that has been updated for this year is the choice of colours.
Ribble has just announced a massive January sale across loads of its lines, including on bikes, components and kit. It's the perfect time to bag a bargain.

Ribble 2016 Ultralite Tiagra 4700 for £599
The Ribble Ultralite Tiagra 4700 could be the perfect upgrade for a budding road racer.
Likewise, it could be the perfect crit bike for those don't want to wreck their carbon frame.
It pairs Shimano's Tiagra groupset with a more racey position. While it might be stretched out, those who have used it say it's still comfortable for those longer rides.
The Gran Fondo was billed as Ribble's sportive bike. It's perfect for those who don't want to be stretched out in a racing position but want to eat up the miles.
Just because it's relaxed, doesn't mean it's not fast. It's a full carbon frame complete with a carbon fork.
We found the tyre came with great grip and good protection. Being a racing tyre we thought that it might be a little unprotected but we had no issues with punctures.
Whether you run it right away or keep it as a hidden weapon for your summer racing, the Continental GP4000s is a must have.
If you're looking to upgrade your stoppers then there's no reason to look further than these Shimano Ultegra brakes.
Shimano are big advocates of 'trickle down' technology. Basically, they will always introduce their top of the range tech at a lower price point – which is now even lower thanks to the 25% discount.
The Blue Matic trainer is the intermediate level Tacx trainer, which makes it good for those looking to get into turbo training or push themselves a little further.
The maximum resistance is 700 Watts and there are 10 different settings with which to customise your training. Plus, the addition of a tyre means you don't need to wreck your best rubber.
