As for their website, I think it's pretty good, better than numerous big online bike shops.
Their bike brands can be confusing at times with multiple bikes that look just like each other but with different brands and sometimes with different prices. Their up and down pricing can also be a bit annoying but at least they have stock (mostly) compared to other makes where you struggle to even buy a bike due to stock shortages or under supplying stock.
Anyone ever do a thread on Alpkits iffy quality and stock shortages? Suppose you can't always have cheap, quality and next day availability.
Cheap bikes for students
You are joking, right? You know that when most most folks think of the cost of a bike, they're thinking hundreds not thousands of pounds. For "most" people On One bikes are way beyond what they'd ever think about paying for a bicycle.
Most students round here are £50 eBay specials, or the "two sizes too small" bikes they had as Xmas presents when they were 11.

Maybe they meant STW undergraduates who will later buy boutique?
Spec probably different, a widget is probably delaying yours
No, identical spec. Customer service reps I've dealt with seemed good so far, which was one reason I was annoyed - if they were that good why hadn't they let me know the bike could be available sooner. Sounds like the 'available in 7 - 10 days' bit was an error, they have changed it now.
I reserve judgement of the bike until it arrives but I ordered one of the Whippets that were discounted and showing in stock on Saturday with free postage, got an email to say it was being built Sunday, then message from DPD saying it would be delivered Monday. I had to put it off until tomorrow but for all the horror stories I've been very impressed so far.
i got my first bike from planet x/on one in feb (ti spitfire road bike).
i have to say i love it and it was at a good price also (that i could afford,always wanted a ti road bike).
i would definitely buy another bike from them if i had the money.
I have their Free Ranger which i have converted to a full road bike - i love it! Well priced, well made and to be fair my experience with Planet X customer service was superb.

Students who actually ride bikes as a hobby was how I read it, i.e. us lot however many years ago. Although most of the MTBers in my uni club had Ragleys and we all rode Ribble winter road bikes.
