Halfords and GT split?

I've just been told by one of their employees that Halfords are not buying any more GT bikes, when they sell the current stock they will not be replaced with new. Has anyone else heard this? If true, anyone thinking of buying an Aggressor should make up their mind sharpish. Or maybe they will heavily discount the last few? Who knows? :wink:

    They may be doing. IIRC Halfords and GT made a deal back in 2000-2001 shortly after the GT parent company went bust.

    This may have been a 10 year deal.

    I haven't been told about this at all, but iirc there are no 2010/2011 bikes on our systems. Could be true y'know so hopefully this means voodoos will be stocked in stores more often as i rate them a little more than the GT's
