And today I did......

[Hawmaw]

I was in Halfords today picking up my free lights courtesy of the Mail on Sunday and had a look at this

http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/m ... -bike-2015

Seems very well equiped for £699 with X9 and 130mm Sektor and has the current fad of 27.5" wheels and slack head angle. Can't find any reviews and no doubt folk will write it off cause its exclusive to Halfords but you couldn't buy the parts for £699 and its better specced than the On One bikes at the same price point. Felt very light weight too but not available to test ride other than around the sales floor.

Re:

Incredulous naw but I did see that in the description it says it's a hub for a road racing bike.
My first Google search gave me all the info I needed.

Naw, the problem is i wouldnt be happy and would want to change this ,that t'other.
No likey the cranks, no hope brakes, big Al must do my wheels and before you know it another year has passed and ive spent 3x its initial cost ...

I'm familiar with that process.

My Dahon Hammerhead has been the beneficiary of a few wee extra bits since this pic.



A set of Rolf wheels cost more than the bike...

You got out - no apologies necessary

Had a look at the Dahon there and its not bad but a bit expensive for all it is (£800) and not suited(they state) for 6'+
I see where youre coming from on the hooligan :? And i have to admit the Cannondale is interesting.

Re:

Today I left the house at 5.35am for Edinburgh R.I. using public transport and got back at 6.00pm and I didn't have to really wait on any of the PT turning up, I will add that the NHS staff did a great job again today.
