Whyte Suffolk 2015

[vickster]

You do know that a man can ride a WSD bike, just like the superior sex can ride a 'men's' bike It's black, hardly 'girly' looking...it's about the fit

Buy one and I'll swap you the saddle for the men's one that came off my 'men's' Cambridge

One thing, I do wish Whyte would stop putting those appalling Mexxis Detonator tyres on their lovely bikes

At least Suffolk is awarded a higher end model, the Somerset is bottom of the range, for women only

Oh, just noticed, the Suffolk has much better brakes than the Synapse!

Oh no! Somerset has better cider.

Went into Halfords today and looked at the Boardman CX Team. It works out at £765 with their 15% one day only discount...it doesnt have 11 speed but it seems to tick all the other boxes... so do i go cheap and cheerful or do i stick to the plan?!?

I reckon someone will have 10-15% off Whyte's after Xmas

And if not, go have a chat with your LBS

Do you think that's possible on a 2015 bike?

 

[vickster]

Why not?

EBC have flash sales off everything

Ashcycles give 15% of goods with 2015 Giants, that's essentially a discount, there's always stuff needed, bike, rack, panniers, pedals, whatever

 

[JoeyB]

Eek.

I just realised that I have some free Edenred compliments vouchers on their way to me and the one participating Cycling store listed on their website happens to be the one where I saw the Whyte Suffolk!! (Cycle World Wessex). The only thing I need to check is that its available at all Cycle World shops and not just the Southampton one.

That would take the cost under a grand!

 

[vickster]

What's wrong with the Southampton one?

There's no Suffolk on the website, but it's a crap website so that means nothing!

Nowt wrong with the Boardman, great bikes. Better name too. Whyte sounds very nondescript, like a brand of porridge oats.

Have you ridden one? Do you know the brand?

Boardman is just an ex-cyclist's name

OK vickster, calm down I was just trying to add a bit of humour. And as for Chris Boardman being just a ex cyclist! Still rather have the Boardman though.

 

[bpsmith]

People have an issue with Boardman just because of where they are sold.

 

[vickster]

Nope, I have an issue with how they look and how common they are

This...

Nothing to do with Halfords. Bought a couple of bikes there myself.
