Well that worked out
Just pulled the trigger on a £1600 De Rosa Idol.
Im back on track for zero expenditure on cycling. My wiggle order got cancelled. (stock errors)
Similar happened to me with Ultegra brakes recently, hence the posts above. They didn't bite then either.Yep that was I.
I tried to salvage something from the deal - I said 'Look i'm in the market for a £2k road bike - the de rosa idol is my number 1 choice in view of circumstances whats your very best price' - they weren't interested

I was watching that De Rosa too, as at the £2,249 price level it was silly cheap. At least 9 of each in stock the night before, then suddenly sold out instantly the next day...when the deal was on. Gutted that you didn't get that bargain btw.
£10k c2w limit !!! roflolYeah life goes on - I still have £1600 in the bank.
The new work scheme has a £10k limit - so I could have a caliper ultegra (2018) de rosa for around £2200 - or the disk one from wiggle at £2200 ......I just think the calliper one should be cheaper !!!
£10k c2w limit !!! roflol
Is that a laugh of delight - or you don't believe me ?
Its salary sacrifice rather than a c2w scheme.

If you can justify it, good for you ROFLOL
I thought all these schemes were salary sacrifice , well was my understanding
.
Presumably the one with the 10k limit is sacrifice from net income not gross as Cycle to work, so you don't get the tax benefit. Bit like a season ticket loan that lots of companies offer (at least around London, don't know about elsewhere)If you can justify it, good for you ROFLOL

That's C2W I assume hence the saving (£2k vs £2900). Your company must have a credit licence?Don't know.
A bike they list @ £2900 - costs me £2k in rental and £200 to extend the lease for 3 years after which the bike is mine for no further fees. Lots of people look at the scheme bikes - but you can nearly always find them cheaper on the web . Hence Im holding back a while yet.
Its a big employer - so i presume so......I just look at the bikes.That's C2W I assume hence the saving (£2k vs £2900). Your company must have a credit licence?
