They got a good name

not top bikes, but if you get one then you won't get beaten up by the little kids

A full chromo frame cant be bad at that price

i see a lot of that stuff for sale. is this good or bad ?
a 285 quid bike is a lower entry level bike these days !

Wasn't after one myself, popped up on a deal site so thought I would share, not bad for full cromo starter bike if you don't want 2nd hand
Seems there are some cracking deals about at the mo now Xmas is out the way...

I don't usually pay attention to RRP to be honest, but £150 all in for a new full cromo bike seemed good
put a bit more in the pot and the deals seem to get even better, can only imagine what you can get second hand if you have a nose about

Good find, thanks for posting

I think the ad said 'genuine stock clearance' and it is last years model.I imagine these could be two of the reasons.

Looks like a bloody bargain to me,a really tempting price

Cleedubber · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2013, 08:57 PM »

Turned up today..... pleasantly suprised at weight and build quality.... bargain to get going

Think I might leave as it is, without the decals

Not had chance, still very cautious due to having a fractured coccyx, will take for a spin soon and feedback

The original link/ listing was for 21"s fella
They didn't last long and they relisted them, but were 20.6", not a huge difference for me as not exactly tall
