Is this bike worth nearly 2 grand?

[Accy cyclist]

Seems a lot of money for a chro mo frame. http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bik...dp:1o4|bku:1&gclid=CJy2tuih7r8CFUTLtAoddn0Asw

 

[MrWill]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabsolutely not.

If it is my shed is worth a hell of a lot more than I thought it was, be nice to see what they discount it down to. I'd say @ £1300 (just for the Campagnolo equipments price from them)
Nice spec wheelset though, they're probably 300 quids worth

You have to look at the value of the whole package, don't forget you also have:

• FREE Local Store build
• FREE 6-week first service

 

[Easytigers]

No, no, no,no no,no.......................

 

[pplpilot]

It'll be advertised at £1000 soon boasting half price which imho is what it is worth, typical of most high street chains.

 

[Di Di]

Yeah but it's from Halfords so you get

FREE spotty clueless teenager attempt build
FREE spotty clueless teenager attempt service.

So, yeah. Totally worth it!

That's gorgeous. Maybe not £2k gorgeous, but it's still good looking

 

[screenman]

Not too me it is not, and I rank pretty highly when it comes to spending my money. I am not into the retro look.

 

[Leodis]

Its not worth it, maybe a grand or 1200 but deffo not 2k. Would rather have a Woodrups custom built for that

If you desperately want a reproduction of a replica pro-team bike from the early '80s then maybe, but it's an awful lot of money for a 525 frame when a modern 853 framed racer like the Genesis Volare 10 is available for less (especially considering the Raleigh replica may well have been made in the same Taiwanese factory)

The hoods haven't been rolled down since putting on the tape.

The hoods haven't been rolled down since putting on the tape.

I thought that it looked strange but couldn't quite work out why. I should have used the zoom feature.

I wouldn't pay that for it, it's a nice bike but not nearly £2k nice.

 

[vickster]

Nope, you can get a Ti from Dolan for less...although the Raleigh colour is nicer

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

There's a rather nice Enigma steel bike here for less. At £1500, it's cheaper, UK made, Columbus steel. I wouldn't go for red but I'd be tempted...
