Just what people have reported on here

Thanks very much! How long would you say it would be until the bike sales? Giant Defy 0 2016 is down at the moment to £798 from £1000
Want something thats race and sportive suitable/ready while still having a little comfort, want the quickest bike I can get!

I bought one bike in January, and three years later, another in December. Both had a list price of £1000 and were reduced to £750 and £650 respectively. The downside of waiting is that the bike choice becomes more and more limited, as do the sizes available.

Good luck!

Hired a tandem a couple of years ago from the bike shop in Prudhoe - they seemed a good shop so I'm sure they will look after you!

Good luck

Done over 5000 miles on a set of quando hubs without a single issue. Would quite happily get them again, and I'm a heavy rider.
