SRAM rocks...but that bikes got a higher bottom gear than the 11-32 you said didn't have enough gears!

If you don't know what size you need, go sit on some bloody bikes!

You'll need a PIN to buy in store. If buying online, it's simple, just put the numbers in when requests...or get someone to help. Have you seriously never bought anything online?

He has,many times.
But they were "private " goods,which came in "discreet " packaging

If the Planet X is less likely to get me up steep hills than the Cube then the Cube it is.

No. Well not with my own card anyway. I've always got Mrs Accy to buy stuff with her's, then gave her the money. You said buying with a debit card online is open to fraud. What are the chances of that happening?

I'm sure you'll be ok. I guess you could do over phone too. Or go to leisure lakes, have you looked at it?

I can't be bothered to go to Bury to try the size. It's not like i'm going to buy from there. I'll have a look in On Your Bike in Blackburn today. They stopped dealing mainly in Cubes last year but they still have a few Pelotons in the shop. I'll judge it from them.

I'm 185cm in height. According to this it'd be a tight squeeze on a 58cm frame.

Yes it is..i think?
It looks like someone wasn't happy with the service.

1 ) Bike Came Dusty And Dirty

“ 1 ) Bike came dusty and dirty.
2 ) Tyes were flat.
3 ) Seat and handle bars were marked and stained.
4 ) I would say this bike was a shop demo bike.
5 ) Would not purchase from here again !!!!! ”

Well if you buy in store as local that won't be an issue. Was it just one bad review?

Didn't @Nibor recommend the store

You're buying an old model at hefty discount. It may not be perfect but in store you can check and not buy if unhappy or haggle for more off

Just be a confident and savvy shopper

I just recommended going to try for size as it is fairly close to Accrington

 

[Crandoggler]

I should use a larger bike according to guides, but am more comfortable on a smaller size. Numbers are numbers, but when you sit on the bike, you'll know which size is correct. Then you can use geometry for every new bike purchase after.

 

[vickster]

Phone them up, ask them to get the bike prepped and ready and arrange to try for size . It's the same price more or less and there's a lot to be said for buying local!

If you worry about one bad review, you'd never buy anything!! Some people just like a whinge not least

I do think @Accy cyclist intends on buying a bike but isn't sure how

Whereas blazed is just a daffodil
