Jimbo, Northwind, good to see some folk grasp the simplicity of retail!

Since when did £3k get you this type of crap!

Just out of interest, why?
Well ride a specilized and then you won't have to ask this question. The SO as one, and to be fair it is very well marketed, but not the best bike to ride.

Price it high so they can give it a massive sale price reduction later and still make money on it.

Nice looking bike, but given the parts hanging off it, unless the frame is made from platinum and parts greased with unicorn tears, they will be expecting to sell them for £2k not £3k.
Halfords have long been the 'officers club' (as in 70% "off" clothes shop) of the bike world when it came to Apollos and so on, whereas in recent years I thought that Voodoo, (most) Carreras and Boardmans were pretty reasonably priced at 'full' price. I hope this is not a sign of this happening to 'proper' bicycles there too.

Juan,
I'd better get rid of my steel 2001 Rockhopper then.
It's been ridden all over Britain, on and off road, raced, toured and commuted.Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realise that such a light, comfy and fun bike was actually a steaming pile of crap.
I'll dump the Trek road bike whilst I'm at the tip as well.Amazing what you learn on here isn't it?
