Giant man,
thanks for info.
I would prefer to place an order to a known company like probikekit.
Do you know them well ?

 

[manray]

oups, sorry.
what do you want to know ?
I am not here to place a troll, but only to have information about a Uk dealer.
I am leaving in france and it's difficult for me to be confident in somebody i don't konw.

My apologies to you manray if my comments have offended. It was not my intention to do so.

The forum is a friendly place and you are most welcome. It is a good idea to give some basic details about yourself such as your cycling interests, how long you have been cycling and at what level sort of thing. It helps others form a mental picture and will help you to get the best from the forum when seeking advice.

Don't worry, i am not offended.
I accept critics even on my bad english !! lol
I am not a competitor cyclist, i do it only for leisure around 5000kms per year.
In my country (cannes south of france) it is easy as the weather in always good.
Happy man you would say, yes i am !!.

I am envious manray. Could you possibly send a parcel of good weather to the UK please?
I thought about going out for a ride today, but it has remained a thought. Its now spitting with rain and blowing a gale. Taking into account the windchill, my weatherstation tells me it feels 2 degrees centigrade

Welcome manray btw.

I get suspicious when on the very first post, someone mentions a business. Is it not polite to introduce yourself to others first?

Sorry but thats a load of crap, someone finds this site and asks a question, so what, he didn't come here telling us that they were great or anything.

And for your info I've bought loads from them, never had a single problem at all, super fast service and I'll be using them again, so now here is blantent plug.... 5339 is a very good store and equal to any mainland UK online stores, but when you phone them you talk to someone who knows their business

Manray, si tu veux de l'aide pour tes achats en UK, envoi-moi un PM (clique sur mon pseudo)

Je suis Anglais, mais j'ai passe pas mal de temps en France, dernierement entre 99 et 02 pas loins de toi a Mouans Sartoux!

J'ai appele 5339 - ils sont fiables je pense, ils ont un "vrai" magasin et je pense que tu peux commander en confiance.

I bow to your superior knowledge HA, but I will still be suspicious of posters mentioning businesses on their first contact.

I have been chatting via PM with Manray - he is a 100% straight-up French cyclist considering spending £1250+ on a pair of wheels from a UK retailer and wants our advice. If a newbie's first post was "I recommend Joe Bloggs Cycles" I could understand your concern, but it wasn't, it was asking what we thought.

 

[Gerry Attrick]

Ok, so if the background to the query was explained as you have now done, then no probs.

 

[manray]

sorry again.
