What do you think

This bike is on sale at costco. I can't find anything online about it. Does anybody know if it's a good bike? Or good value?, thankyou.

Why would you want a bike from Costco, particularly when you can't find any online reviews?

You can get a cracking bike in that price range, from an established and respected bike manufacturer.

You can get a better bike from Planet X for £999 including VAT, or a Boardman in CF for £999 in Halfords.
I personally would give this a swerve.

Steer clear. Too much money to gamble on. Can get better value elsewhere

Thank's for the advice. They have this de rosa at £1200 too. Don't like the idea of a love heart, on my bike.

Is that inclusive or exclusive of VAT?

De Rosas are great bikes.
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/de-rosa-r848-105-2014-plus-free-starter-kit/ might be better value if your price is ex VAT. Plus you get a packet of haribo when you buy from Wiggle.

Yes, the price is including vat.

Why is it you are looking in Costco rather than a bike shop? I'm just curious.

I wasn't in there looking for a bike. I just saw them, and wanted an opinion. Costco is usually cheaper than anywhere else, plus they give great warranty.

They might be cheaper but they cannot give expert advice. I'd want some expert advice if I was parting with over a grand for a new bike. Bike shops will often chuck in a few bits and bobs when you get a new bike. Couple of spare innertubes, or a pump or something. There are good deals to be had out there.

That De Rosa is a nice bike

Thank's again for the advice. I've always had mountain bikes, i'm new to road bikes. Which do you suggest is the best bike around, for a budget of £1500?
