Bargain for new bike surely...

Yeah see the size guide XL up to 6' 4" I'm another inch on that

What about shoe size? Only goes up to a 47. That should provide you with a reason not to buy.

(Vickster will come along and tell you to ebay the shoes )

 

[vickster]

Phone them up

Eh??

 

[jefmcg]

I was trying to give him a reason not to buy (it comes with shoes, and the largest size may not fit him). I just assumed you'd counter that argument.

Only small feet ! 11's = 46

Merlins shop is up north somewhere

They're in Chorley.
Which is up north, but on t'wrong side of t'hill...

Your comment made me look where they are based,I work just minutes from their place,I must not go past it or in it,otherwise I will end up tempted for one,only coz it's a bargain

Just seen this,any newbie or anyone really wanting a new bike or winter training (although not sure if it takes mudguards),then this looks a right bargain.

What do you reckon
Just seen it comes with pedals and shoes too

If the free shoes were Brogues,I would be sold on it

Ha ha bit like me & my local Bianchi shop as soon as I go in there I know that I'll buy something lol !

Must resist a bit longer !

@gmw492 go on get yourself in there & give it ago ! You watch I'll get an e mail in the morning saying " yes we have one in Essex you can try lol " !

 

[OskarTennisChampion]

Seriously though,that is one good looking bike for five pence under 550 bucks.
But I expected no less from Merlin,who do come up with nice steeds every year.
I would buy it if my main discipline was going to be road

 

[OskarTennisChampion]

I'm sure it could be made to fit with a longer stem

Nah,definately too small for him

(You know what I'm talking about @vickster )
