Bought full bike on sale for £300, this is the refund being offered.
Nearest new equivalent (same bike, different paint job) is £539. This is the model that doesn’t appear in shops yet though, potentially unavailable.
Cheekiness was asking for Cinelli frame (minus refund) plus old components to bolt on, but Wiggle politely declined to do this, worth asking I suppose!
Re: the Grinduro, most of what I loved about the Plug was that is was light, simple and most importantly didn’t produce any horrendous squeeling on wet commutes like my disc braked commuter. It would be a real shame to swap it for a heavier and potentially squeelier disc brake model…
Charge reckon it was the forks that were the cause of the warranty issue. They can’t supply replacements but funnily enough I actually have a replacement set sitting at home. If they can assure me it is the forks that are the cause of the problem I might just ask them to send the whole bike back and I fit the new forks I had purchased myself, perhaps asking for a wee goodwill gesture since I paid for the new forks myself and they’re very marginally heavier than stock.. 🙁
