    Step 3 – sell the old bike and buy a nicer one.

    A small error crept in there

    Oops! 😳

    Ignoring the lease aspect for a minute. If you think the bike is not setup correctly then you should not be riding it. You crashed the bike and seem to be blaming the setup of the forks and chain for this. The crash can only be your own fault – you were riding the bike in a manor which meant you lost control. You are lucky they are processing the warrentee – I have seen so many times when they blame a crack on a crash!

    You claim the setup is also responsible for breaking two chains, once I can understand but to continue to ride it so it breaks again is silly.

    The components on the bike won’t be that much different to any other bike. They could be poorly installed but you claim you have an mechanic you trust and therefore you have confidence in this aspect of it.

    I certainly wouldn’t be paying if I didn’t have the bike. I would seek legal advice but I suspect if they do provide you with a bike to ride then you will have to continue to pay the lease.

    I’m still of the opinion that this is a troll.

    The OP is so full of obvious fail that it can’t be anything else:

    Leased a bike for a thousand million pounds; fail.
    Received a bike that wasn’t correct spec; fail.
    Rode incorrect spec bike; fail.
    Unhappy with incorrect bike forks; fail.
    Unhappy with incorrect bike fork and chain setup; fail.
    Contacted company who suggested you fix it yourself; fail.
    Riding incorrect spec bike with dodgy fork and chain keeps breaking; fail.
    Crash incorrect spec bike with dodgy forks and dodgy chain (x2), then discover crack in frame after crash; fail.

    Still paying £200 a month for bike that supposedly cost £6,000 and have had no service, no comeback via insurance and now no bike at all; fail.

    If you need to ride a 6K bike, you’re either really, really good or you’re reading too many magazines and are falling for the marketing in a big way. If your story is true, you’ve made so many errors right from the start that it is difficult not to view your story in a less than sympathetic way.

    I hope you resolve things, and I hope you learn a number of very important lessons, but you don’t appear to be receptive to them at present.

    Can I just add to the ‘oh my god you paid £4800 for a bike then handed it back’ posts with ‘oh my god you paid £4800 for a bike then handed it back’. Seriously that’s not right. Could you not just have bought a bike at £4800 and paid it over 2 years?

    I’m shocked and disgusted, I thought payday loans were bad.

    Unless the rental can be written off in some tax scam I find it ridicules also.

    It strikes me if you can afford to pay that amount in hire charges, you can afford to buy a decent bike on HP, and if it make you feel better after two years you can give it to me and get a NEW one also on HP.

    And to use something that you had already decided was not what you wanted and not in full working order on receipt, I think is crazy.
