Looking forward to a riding review.... it looks great.

Have you any idea how bitter you are going to make the "Avoid halfords at any cost" brigade by posting what is simply an awesome looking value bike! Can you make sure you reassure them by telling them it leapt up in the night and set fire to your lounge or something?

couldn't agree more,i have bought 3 bikes from halfords only problem i had was on my boardman the BB bearings were dry they just needed greasing bike ok now...

I have a couple of pairs of Hope wheels. First thing I do when I get a new pair is to pick the seals off the bearings and grease them, they're nearly always dry.

Nice looking bike Must be so frustrating not having the pedals, I bet youve been sitting on it and rolling it around like a balance bike.

They are £999 but if you order online you save £70

In my experience, without hesitation theyll knock the price down to the web price instore if you ask.

Nice bike! If it was matt black I'd buy one tomorrow.

Your chain is 1.1mm too slack......i knew Halfords would mess up

I had a Carrera jeans jersey from the 1990s once. For some stupid reason i cut the arms off to make it into a vest type jersey for hot days.It was the same styling as your new bike, they'd have looked well together!

I saw the same Carrera jersey this afternoon, but it was worn by someone on a mountain bike. It just didn't look right!

Those flowers don't quite match the trim but, apart from that, a very nice looking bike. I don't think I've ever seen such a shiny chain before!

I havent even sat on it yet.......but yep it is frustrating haha

Did Halfords build it up for you, and did they charge for that? If so, they fleeced you on the brake pads etc!

Lovely looking bike. The only thing I dislike is the 'Race Ready Spec' sticker. Just seems a bit naff!

A very minor quibble though!

 

[Dangermouse]

Unfortunately its laquered over too

 

[biggs682]

i am so glad you got that .

i would have gone for a blue and yellow one myself

Ah that's a bit of a bugger. Still, as I said, a very minor thing on a lovely looking bike. Enjoy getting the miles in!
