Apologies if parts of this subject have already been covered elsewhere. I've been waiting ages for my work to re-introduce the cycle to work scheme. Today they have announced that it will begin on the 18th of this month. I'm wanting a cyclo cross bike for my commute to work and have been looking at the specialized/Fuji/Genesis bikes. So, imagine my disappointment when I see that they have chosen Halfords as the company that we can subscribe to the scheme through. They have a poor reputation, plus they don't deal in any of the aforementioned bikes.
So, I went on their website to see what they do in the way of cyclo cross bikes. They do one called a 'voodoo'!?, never heard of them. Also, they do the Kona Jake and Boardman cyclo cross bikes. My question is, does anyone have any experience of these bikes?, if so, are they any good?.
I wouldn't be taking the bike anywhere near Halfords once I'd done the deal, so that's not an issue, plus I would probably take it straight to my LBS for a once over.
All assistance/advice gratefully received
