    the wiggle method is quite good, you can get a refund if not happy.

    but cash up front on a 2K bike before you have seen it? and if it is not as you want.

    waiting for a refund...

    snot perfect agreed, but if its the only way to buy a bike you fancy, it could be worse, atleast it is a deliberate trial period with a clear understanding that you can have your money back if you want.

    i doubt i would buy one from wiggle for all the reasons we have discussed so far, which is a shame cause the new ones look mega.

    mind you, im not in the market for anything new at the mo but its always tempting when you se shiny new stuff.

    HT 29ers look interesting!

    Also liking the belt driven commutery things.. look different! Seen one in tredz a while back, always wondered if there was a feeling of "stretch" under load?

    think Ikea. a allen headed bolt is inserted from the rear and screws into the thing with a slot on it on the seat stay.

    remove bolt and "bend" the seat/chain stays in and out.

    Or that is How i see it.

    Hmm, sounds a bit gay.

    I can;t see any other way of it working though. I take it none of the belts come apart?
