Gavin, you are indeed correct. When I went in it was only missing bar tape and chain. Yes I think it will serve me well for a good while...at least until I get a new itch. :smile:

As for my money management skills :biggrin:. The price of the bike actually ended up being a little dearer than planned. Neil had forgot that I was on the cyclesheme thingy, which takes 10% off him. So he had to add a bit on top of the £870 figure. To his credit he split the difference and the rest was on pedals and mudguards. That leaves me £50 to spend on other bits (up to the £1000 maximum). That will probably get spent when I pick the bike up. There is the bottle holder, and a new lock to think of....hmmm £50....:biggrin:

A bu%%er it. I'm worth it!:biggrin:

And no sharky, it's all above board honest! :smile:


Hmm, Crackle your right it did start off at £750. Note to self: never let Mrs Magnatom see this thread.;)

Added 10% onto the cost of the bike ?!!!
Did he quote you for trade price initially then ?

I think it's still a good deal so I didn't complain too much!


Fair enough I know our LBS says Cyclescheme take 10% so they can only sell at the RRP although they did give me a £50 Courier bag.

Plus on £1k that's what about £60 a month for 12 months ? Not a bad deal really
