you can shift your voucher quite easily to another shop,just call cyclescheme….

do folk haggle in your travel agents?

they'll stay in business by not stocking chris king as you can get pretty much any of it off ebay at what i would pay for it and charging for fitting it…..

why do you all expect a discount in a bike shop? whats different with other shops where you wouldnt ask? do you ask in a hifi shop? a pet shop?

a lbs is a business at the end of the day…ive yet to see crc,merlin or wiggle fit anything!

read theyre terms and conditions….but id say no unless they made a cockup then they should pay for it

handmade in the uk,stiff as, if you get the maxle upgrade,ive yet to see one break in 3 years of selling them,i love em….mine has different tyres (vredsteins) and cobalts on it which makes it handle really well…

we sell hardly any s's because once you put a couple of upgrades on it,punters will go for the pro..

well we can help you out if you want,ive got a soul in stock and have most other bits to help

chris

i can help if your in the deepest north…..

these….http://www.cycle-world.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s80p1238&z=1489

what bike?

the wheels are super rare,2 sets sold in the uk this year,the second set are different from the first set and all the dates match…

the frame was also the last one sourced from the uk importer in that size(a cervelo) and ive got the serial number.adverts also match up

what size were you after as theyre sold out till feb….ive got a 15" and a 19" avail! 😆

ive had a couple of great stags in edinburgh

stayed at the point hotel,nice and central(50m from the p*bic triangle)
went to the stand comedy club which was good entertainment,had a couple of great meals…( got a mate with a restaurent) went to an airshow on the sunday which was a lot less geeky than it sounds…

learn to waterski in dunfermline…that was a great laff

ride a 5 and then decide…..ive got a demo bike ill do you a deal on!

thats a great idea!…ive reported it to ebay….the police attitude doesnt fill me with much hope..

tis lighter and foxier looking! also has tubeless tyres.xtr etc…its quite a bit dearer though….

wales is very nice at that time of year…..we had our honeymoon their

whats their workshop like? do they have a changing room? tea/coffee making facilities? do they ansa emails/phone calls within 24 hours?

just wondered…

if you bought it from me(all of it) free but if not £10-£15…headset press is pretty dear.park ones £170….

well that fair cheered me up! thanks for the appreciative words from mike and dave!

some of the attitudes to discounting are very interesting…..it does seem some folk will never give the lbs a chance! i had a interesting chat with a customer the other day where i was getting sick of his constant requests for a discount…i had to remind him that crc/wiggle didnt really offer what i do and that unless he understood what we're trying to do we mite not be in a position to help him out in the future….he apologised and paid a fair price for the work on his bike..

the internet shops dont bother me but it would be a sad state of affairs if more lbs shut due to them,theyre does seem a lot of guys have strong loyalty to theyre respective shops and good experiences…

id second what was said about square wheels,great shop and great guys!

theyre isnt any major difference with the 09 or the 010,frames been tweaked a little,id be amazed if theres any left because orange have a rolling change….im all on 010 bikes now.

id second the vredsteins….just put more air in em than usual to enhance the puncture belt…very grippy even on wet slimy scottish roads…..

i stock em if you want some!

we stock em too,my bikes a september for winter duties….really plush and looks great in the highly polished finish…

if your in scotland im the only stockist….

do you mean the all mountain five? if so its still two weeks…..the alpine five was a while ago….. 🙂

iflash76……youve got mail! 🙂

grantway; alpine frame in 18" currently available in blue,mandarin and pearl yellow……five frames are 2 weeks away…..

we sell very few five s's due to the reasons above….people will upgrade to the point where its better/cost effective to just get a pro….better wheels/xt etc..

but if you cant stretch that far then go for the s as its still the best frame and shock package you can get….

give me a call,we;ve had a quiet week! i'll do you a deal! 😉

we stock pads and gloves by 661,theyre really good,soft when riding and they go hard when falling….ive tried it.they really work!

dakine are bringing some kit out next year with the same stuff in it

heres what ive lost…its quite a bit worse than i first thought….

1 x kuota kebelframeset in clear size medium…ive got the frame no.
1 x pair of 404 track tub wheels…(very rare!)
1 x kona stinky six 20" 09
1 x cervelo p2c 56cm frame

if anyone sees/hears anything please get in touch…id probably be happy enough to give some kinda reward if i was helped!

i use upg for all the transactions online….but ill be speaking to them on monday about security…all the cards had passed both checks av2 and cvs…

bit miffed with the courier as they should deliver to an address and not someone in the street which im assuming they did on this occasion…..but ill just have to take it as a very expensive lesson on all fronts i spose…ill have a busy monday morning!

try again….

they seem kosher….

middleburn was the one i was thinking of,never had any of their stuff but could be good….its looks the part!

were a dealer newly signed up,im expecting some bikes before xmas(late october for some of them)….some demo bikes are coming in for my inpending club night as well….

we have a lot of forward interest so far,they look quite quirky which i like.designed by an ex ktm designer who was approached by the largest bike accesory supplier in spain and along with fabian barel came up with this range

thats all i know…..

look at a couple of recent posts about this but try and get your ass down to the london cycle show because a lot of the movers/shakers/reps will be there and you can look at everything including all the niche stuff you can shake a stick at….

get a unit and reps will come! all the suppliers have fairly rigid rules about web only business's cos theres a lot of garage/bedroom so called web shops that damage there rep and job kit out…and if they do supply you be prepared for the local dealers to moan and kick off…..

wed charge £29.98 as long as that was the only thing being done……thats london prices! evans charge £25 for a puncture/new tube in london apparently

i was merrily driving back with a mate after hed done up the straps on my thule roof carrier….we were chatting away and his bike casually rolled off the roof,landed on its wheels and catapulted very dramatically into the nearby field where it performed all sorts of manouvres! i expected all sorts of damage but all hed bent was one saddle rail…..and learnt a lesson in doing up the straps on the roof rack

and a hot tub! its ace!

sorry thats all i know….cy from cotic was being very shady when i called him…just that its cheaper and its a new design.i'll know more after the bikeshow

great piccys! i was there at the scottish stage on monday and got to ride in the sram neutral service providers car….i had a very similar experience to yourself..its definitely the way to watch a road race! highlights included going thru innnerleithen at 80mph on the wrong side of the road,watching the break was very cool and chatting to bradley wiggins briefly at the end…..

i love having a bikeshop sometimes! it gets you some great experiences..

new model coming soon….its being launched at the cycle show in london in oct…

a bit cheaper apparently!
