Finally pushed the button

[oldfatfool]

After months of procrastination I have finally emptied my shopping basket on the Rose website,

Just got to wait for it to be built and delivered

awesome looking...
I so nearly went for a Rose. I was ready to press the buy button but what I wanted was out of stock.
Rose are brilliant value for money.

[QUOTE 2054651, member: 45"]I'm pretty impressed with Rose. They were at the Cycle Show last year and looked really good. I like their approach, the catalogue and the website.

Have they got their UK depot up and running yet?[/quote]

Not that I am aware of, but I have had wheels and bits and bobs from them previously with no problems. Just keeping the parts crossed for a concientous courier

Their website now has a .co.uk version, which MAY mean you no longer have to pay paypal's outrageous exchange rates. I ordered a pair of brakes on Friday evening, and they're in Cologne at the moment, so it looks like no UK warehouse yet

So much for that idea

I had ordered some other bits and bobs along with the bike, Rose and there computer managed to request authorization for there payment from my CC a total of 40 times Even after being told they had a problem after the first 12

Consequently my cc went into melt down. Rose said the only solution was to cancel the entire order and start again with a new CC instruction and hope their computer problem was resolved. They would cancel the requests through their card acquirer.

I have declined I can't have two CC maxed out with authorised payments on call, that take a lead time to get removed.(upto 5 working days)

So no new bike for now

 

[oldfatfool]

Re-ordered and £150 cheaper due to the clearance sale, every cloud and all that
