They won't let me ride a ribble which is crazy if I'm to spend £1000 ,went to leisure lakes bikes near southport and they couldn't have been more friendlier ,they will get me a 56 and a 58 cube in so I can get sized up heads telling me cube heart telling me the ribble but the more I think about it it's the wheels and the £65 admin fee from ribble that's pulling me away from the azzurro

Ive never understood the reasoning behind wanting to ride a bike up and down a side road before you buy it . For a start you are riding a second hand bike that every tyre kicker with a day off has ridden and added to that you can tell nothing about the bike by going up and down the road once or twice that you couldn't find out by just sitting on it in the shop .
Why not hire one of each for the weekend and really ride them ?

Surely it makes more sence to get the right size frame why would anymore want to spend £100's / £1000's of their hard earned money I. A bike that's too small/big

Can you use C2W if it's reduced, you'll want to check, some retailers won't take the vouchers if not RRP

As far as I'm aware you can but I'll have to ask the retailer if not I'm sticking with the cube

Got measured up for the cube I'm 5ft 10" so I'm been told to get a 58 " where as other bikes tend to be a 56 are the sizings different with cubes
