So my lad said a few days ago that his Giant hybrid needed replacing and he might like a road bike, music to my ears!
So I looked around various websites at bikes in his £600 budget.
Yesterday I said that we'd do the rounds of the local LBS's to see what was about.
Giant store Cambridge- really helpful lad, tried a nice bike out in his budget. Liked it.
Cambridge Light Blue- helpful lad, no stock in size to try
Ben Haywards- our friend Joel works there. Told him the remit, but then I noticed something with a £600 ticket...
"What's this Joel?"
"A Madone 2.3, best Trek aluminium frame, full 105, ex demo. Been round the car park a few times. Reduced from £1200..."
SOLD!
So I mooch around while the money bit is happening, until my lad comes to me all sheepish.
"Erm, my card doesn't appear to be working....."
Bloody kids.
Bloody credit cards!
He is making my lunch at present, then we go out for a spin....

and a great bargain too. I am STILL waiting to get a chance to get out on my new wheels and tyres that Santa kindly left under the tree. Seems as though everyone wants a bit of me over the last few days......Families ! but I wouldn't have it any other way
