A breakthrough in the cheap road bike saga!

I was thinking more of the reach, width of handlebars etc., although new bars and a shorter stem can help.

Pedals can be changed in 10 minutes

Well, I hope L14M does all the washing up Christmas Day in appreciation of his generous mum!

You can get 20% off if you order online...well the time i done it I had that offer 2 weeks ago, the handle bars can be adjusted closer by raising them slightly. Go to the store and ask if you want sit on one to try out the size.

Unfortunately, that's because they are moderated.

Out of interest, are reviews on Wiggle also moderated, like those on the Halfords site?

I only ask because I'm thinking of getting a set of rollers (either Elite or Minoura) and the reviews of both on Wiggle are all resoundingly positive, which seemed a bit too good to be true.

If you google, you'll likely find other reviews too

Don't know about Wiggle, although I have seen bad reviews of products on there, so possibly not.

you can always select 'lowest rated' sometime things do come up

I've got the Tdf as my winter bike and set up right is a great bike for the money done hundreds of miles and still going strong :-)

 

[L14M]

Ha ha!
I rode around on it and its a not bad fit. If they had set it up right it'd have been better (brakes and gears). But also my personal touches such as seat angleing and handlebar angles!

 

[Tommytucka]

Frame looks same as their TDF model, which I used to have, found it quite heavy and as said above quite badly set up, but as long as you're enjoying it that's all that matters!

 

[L14M]

Yeah, the tyres were well under inflated and the gears were not tuned!
