the5krunner + The Pros Closet = New Partnership
Great Deals For You (USA)
I’ve just joined up with The Pros Closet (USA) having followed the company’s progress over several years. It was the kind of company I always wished was in the UK but they seem to be staying put in Colorado. As well as selling new gear they also sell nearly-new, guaranteed frames & frame sets. Actually, there is a similar UK company I sometimes used called Cycle Exchange which is based near me in Kingston and does a mean coffee plus too-expensively priced cakes.
Top-end bikes and wheels are prohibitively expensive for many and The Pros Closet gives us a better chance to own very similar gear to elite athletes.
To make the costs even easier there are a few deals at the moment
- Flash sale with 20% off many items with code 2023FLASH20
- All/most items: Up to 20% off with code: 5KRUNNER40
If you here shop with TPC (The Pro’s Closet), you’ll save $40 on purchases over $200 with coupon code 5KRUNNER40. Check the Pros Closet out and don’t forget the 5KRUNNER40 coupon!
This doesn’t affect any existing partnerships and offers you more choice
