New bike from halfords only (cycle2work scheme) about £200

[buzzy bee]

Hi

I know it is too late, but the all rounder bike I got was a Fuji, got it a year or two ago, and have had no problems with it, and have done hundreds, upon hundreds of miles, oh sorry got one puncture due to a thorn, if that counts as a problem.

This has front suspension, it seems ok to me, and is nice to ride, it may be a little heavy, but due to me riding antique/veteran bikes, this one is so light in comparison.

I think I gave £100 for it, new from the LBS, but he had had it in the shop for a good while, so could be an old model. No disc brakes or anything, easier to maintain for me anyway!

Cheers

Dave

This has been the oddest thread i have read on any forum for a long while. OP is asking for advice and then completly ignoring anything that was said to him.
Still C2W scheme vouchers took 2 weeks to arrive on my mat.
You can't add to the value as it would breach the lease agremnet with your company. Technically they own the bike and you are leasing it from them. You cant lease a £500 bike for just £250.
Should have got a v-brake non suspension bike IMO. Theres no suspension on a road bike and they go over pot holes at 30mph+
(regret soon after though)
