London to Paris Charity Ride

I think you'll finds that's the opposite to what a lot of people do - hence the crowded chain pubs selling gallons of fizzy lager and alcopops to wash down the microwaved meals.

People take the easy option, and if that means going to Halfords, because you already know where it is, because you buy your car bits there, that's what they'll do.

Those people like fizzy lager, alcopops and microwaved meals. They dont think to themselves "this lager tastes like shoot and so does this food but its convenient".

Mcdonalds is shoot food, but the people who eat it enjoy it. The people who shop at Halfords like Halfords.

Okay, the next step.

We have a bike sponsor and we have decided that we want a Hybred bike.

Are there any recommendations. I guess I would go for a price around £300-600 new.

Thanks

I bought my new Trek from an LBS for slightly less than I could find it anywhere on the net,they threw in a couple of extras I just had the first free service and they were a helpfull and friendly bunch of people.

Dont automatically presume internet traders will allways be cheaper.

Okay we are narrowing down.

Our sponsor has a liking for Raleigh bikes.

Any (sensible) suggestions

I suspect, "avoid raleigh". I'm afraid they aren't what they were, and not really a British brand anymore, if that is the issue...

I can't speak from experience, but just from what I've heard...

thanks Arch, but I may not have any choice in this, so assuming this is the case whats the best out of a bad bunch.

Just found out the they also part of Corratec and the shape pro looks good
