have actually been and bought a bike today and its the...drum roll please.....meta 5.5.2!!!

went to try the meta and the super, and giant - super just did not feel right, giant i liked but was too small for me and from what i have looked at i can not seem to find one my size anywhere but still really loved the meta, shop only had a demo bike in, so i left thinking i would see what deal i could do with my local shop. however....on the way home decided to call into another shop who to be honest never seem to have anything in that i am after and was looking at a scott there, however when i mentioned that i had tried a meta and was prob going to go for that, he disappeared to discuss with manager came back and informed me they had a meta which had been returned, they offer a 28 day change your mind policy and apparently someone just had and returned a meta, lots of haggling later got the bike for £1040 year warranty and first service.

don't know what you think but i think i got a pretty good deal there :)

only prob now is hubby has been trying the meta with me and now i think there may be a fight for it when ever we go out :lol:

thanks for all the help

    NIcely done and wow what a price £1040 for a 552 is a steal - to think you could have paid £1899 !

    Enjoy the bike.

    That's a fantastic price for a 5.5.2. Is it an 08 or 09? Have an 08 myself, great bike, manages to make me look good and that's saying something :lol:
