Tony's always been pleasant to me so it does surprise me, what did he look like? Shame Luke wasn't there really.

Tall about 50 grey/brown hair, wouldn't say he was out right rude as such but dismisive and just not interested in serving us or even arranging to get one out etc just said can't help you, pretty much gave the feeling it was like we had knocked at his house 10pm at night disturbing him asking about a bike and not his place of work if you no what I mean. There web site says we will be at our new showroom from the 11th of July and gives it's full address so they have been there over 2 months, if they want to be mail order only then fine but put that on the website. We did an hour and a half round trip for a ten second conversation with me standing there with a grand in my pocket which I told him and dead keen to buy a bike.

As I say good luck to them if they can afford to turn genuine customers away...

Thumbs up for the cube!
But nearly £800.... If you can go to that have a look at the boardman hardtails also voodoo both get great reviews
Happy hunting.

Well after another marathon day with Carl (cheers mate) visiting bike shops and Burger joints i think ive narrowed it down to a final short list

1st up Bianchi 5300, theses bikes are really superb in the flesh picture dosent do it justice and have a mega history of bike building
offered to me at £570
http://www.bianchi.com/uk/Bikes/Bikes_D ... ster=51367

next up the Cube analogue at £599 but wangled a free bike stand with it if i go for this bike
http://www.cyclesuk.com/product/Analog_ ... 02001-14-1

was also offered a 2010 Giant talon at £670 or Talon 1 at £599 but can get cheaper on line....

Dont forget he offered you the 2012 model for £600. Your only gonna have it until 21st of Dec 2012 wont be needing it after that so you might as well blow the lot on a bike and enjoy the last 15 months we got left.
