Why not? It''s just a "thing".

It wont melt/break/fall apart/implode.

I realise that, but I've bought an expensive bike for 'best' which in reality means all the time as I don't go out when it's wet anyway. It would seem pointless to keep a really nice bike to ride to work on only in school holidays. I have to pick my son up normally, but my wife is a teacher so I can commute during the holidays and Saturdays only. Plus it's only 6 miles each way and I could detour onto the TPT that runs behind my house if I had a CX bike instead.

A decent cx bike is going to cost £700+, what's the difference? I've no idea what TPT is. Cx should be n+1 not n-1

With my last C2W bike I had to provide 2 photos of the bike at the end of the scheme for them to work out final value/fee. Not sure how you would get round that :thumbsup:

Wouldn't fitting mudguards and a pannier rack affect the operational quality of a bicycle.

With CycleScheme no prove was required, I could have sold it the day I received it and they would be none the wiser.

Not really, panniers would affect the bike, mudguards would increase toe overlap.

That is a matter of opinion, considering that you can include these items as part of the scheme I would imagine that they are included as part of the bike. But I'm just speculating, I didn't write the contract, if you are that interested ask the schem provider. I ain't that interested.
