+1, and the ones that do are always cheap plastic affairs, they are basically just for test ride purposes.

Get those pedals off ASAP and put some grease on the thread, shops never bother and they'll seize.

- because most people buying bikes at this level are likely to be relatively experienced cyclists with their own favoured shoe/cleat system, and will want pedals to match - be they Look, Shimano, Campagnolo, Speedplay, Time, Mavic etc etc, So in most cases to supply pedals would be pointless.

I know what you mean, and I've experienced this loads of times, but the fixed gear I've just bought from Evans was supplied with plastic flats, and lo and behold, the threads were loaded with grease
10/10 to Evans for that, (the rest of the bike prep was pretty poor though!).
So as Zakalwe says, whip the pedals off straight away. Even if you plan to use them for a bit, unless you can see grease oozing where the pedal threads meet the crank arms, strip and grease them, it will save a lot of potential heartache later

Accy Cyclist, she is relatively new to road cycling and a little apprehensive to go clipless at this stage. She'll develop the confidence.

That must apply to all their bikes when out of stock and no delivery week is shown. Oh dear! I was just getting serious about ordering one too - must account for the discount prices as well.

All a matter of taste - IMHO nothing looks better than a matt black frame with black lettering, black groupset, wheels and finishing kit - dark grey or raw carbon looks very fine too. If you look at many of the 2013 bikes being announced you will see that the big brands have finally caught up with my refined taste too

Yeah, they seem to manufacture a product line at a time, and when they're gone they're gone.
Might be able to hold off for a 2013 model, but will see.
Obviously they're selling more bikes than they can make.
