Was looking at a Dawes Giro 300 on there for just under 300 quid. Seems like a good price. Thanks in advance!

I used Spa Cycles because at the time, they had the best deal.

I bought a Giro 500. I wouldn't buy a whole bike on the internet, but Dawes Cycles Ltd are about 7 miles from where I live and I know some ex employees, so if anything broke, I could knock on their door.

My advice for purchasing a whole bike on the internet is:

Be prepared to build it up and perform a PDI yourself properly. You lose some warranty on such things as 'bolt tightness' etc. So if the handlebars come adrift if the pinchbolts were loose, its YOUR fault.

Mail order cycles are just up the road from me.
We used them to order a Claud Butler Urban 100 for my wife, we placed (and paid for) the order on 17th October, not there yet! I've called them to chase but told that the deliveries are uncertain and only happen once a week.

If they have the bike in stock then it'll be fine... plus they do free shipping.
