    Globalisation, anyone? It never ceases to amaze me (although it should) how they can get a bike designed, manufactured, assembled, shipped, stocked and (in some cases) delivered to a home for this sort of money?

    Talk about getting people to work for 3 pence a week working 22 hours a day?

    The world's a twisted place :roll:

    Damn cheap, though

    Decathlon do cheaper tho'
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    I don't know this bike, but for that sort of money I would not doubt a second to go for a second hand bike instead of ordering this one from a supermarket.

    NO!!! :shock: I know you can get an MTB from JJB for about 90 quid but it weighs more than Saturn.

    I think I would be spending my £200 on something better, secondhand.

    At those sort of weights, it put the term "winter trainer/hack" into prospective... If you survive the cold months on a bike almost twice the weight of the special summer bike, your legs will be in very good shape next spring! :D
