You can get better tyres for a tenner a piece (may want to spend more if commuting) - although the tyres on the F75 are superior to the F85 so you wouldn't need to anyhow. I'd rather find another £50 for incidentals than compromise on the bike (also the F75 is only available in most sizes in black )

A question - are you confident of buying the right and right size bike online? If not, you'll need to start visiting your local shops. There are some good deals on Boardman from Halfords for example, especially if a British Cycling member

Well luckily we have the great Yarmouth cycling hub which do free repairs and services on your bike, was going to pop down and ask about the sizing and stuff the F75 is tempting haha I feel sick when I have to depart with this much money, im one of those guys haha

Do they? Lived there a few years ago and still own a house in Gorleston. Still only 35 miles away, so tell me more. I take it you have to be a member of the cycling club?

 

[Scotty1991]

Nope it is on the Great Yarmouth seafront pavilion, by the bowls green. usually open on Saturdays. If you ever need a quick service or a repair, just take your bike in and he will pop it on a stand and start working on it! I volunteered there to help some of the courses they do for kids on learning how to ride bikes Etc. I have told a few mates who have a few broken parts on there bike to head down there and he repaired the bikes for them. Very friendly. Most people there I believe work for Pedal Revolution Great Yarmouth Cycling club also do runs with them

It's not a lot of money if you're going to use it. And it's such good value for the spec, if you don't use it, you'll only lose a couple of hundred max if you have to sell

 

[Joshua Plumtree]

Thanks for that. If we're out on a club run out that way on a Saturday, I might take a slight detour down to the seafront and get the other half to pick me up in the car afterwards!

"How'd you feel about a day out in Yarmouth, my sweetness?"

 

[Scotty1991]

I need to find 30 quid from somewhere to afford the postage haha. Hope it doesn't go off sale!
A Man who asks his wife to a day out on great yarmouth seafront is a very lucky women haha

Another option for a bike i have found is this one http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cube-peloton-triple-road-bike-2014/rp-prod126274#
There is also a compact version of it.

Nope, Sora...stick with the Felt with 105. A 105 groupset is around £300 if you ever wanted to upgrade. Do you really need a triple in Norfolk?

Nope!

 

[Scotty1991]

Nah. Just that one was the one I was on at the time

 

[Scotty1991]
