Well after going to 4 different halfords stores I finally managed to find one that had the sizae I wanted in stock unbuilt. Just finished putting it together and must say it's a lot of bike for £450
Will be adding some bling over the next few weeks
Only downside was one of the brake cable clips was broken when I took it out of the box anyone know if you can buy these? Or should I just go back to halfords and get one?
Cheers

Nice bike.
Have you contacted Halfords about the broken clip? They'll probably have a few kicking about, I'm sure they'll just give you one if you let them know.
If that fails, I might have one somewhere, from a different frame though so not sure it'd fit. I'd gladly have a look though.0 -
I have one of these too, although i have done a bit of upgrading. They ride very nicely, great for the money.
As for the clip, just take it in to a halfords, they will just give you one off another bike.We'll see things they'll never see...

Hope you enjoy the bike feller, I sure enjoy mine
Great fun, real nice bargain at £450
Think it'll certainly help that you built the bike up yourself, at least you'll have checked the bolts are tightened up correctly!
Something which I had issues with, thanks to the faith I mistakenly put in Halfords assembly

I made sure halfords did not build it as I had heard lots of horror stories so got a friend who works in a LBS to build it and set it up for me :-)0 -
It looks so shiny and white :P It won't stay that way for long 0

What pedals are they? The ones that come stock are rubbish.0

The Wellgo V8 copies are perfectly good flat pedals, I would leave them on till they fall apart to be honest.0

LOVE IT been commuting on it (about 7 miles each way) most of it on a disused railway and i cant fault it, so much better than my 10 + year old Scott Octane FX3.
Only small issue is that it is slipping in top gear just need to adjust it a little (that is my job for tonight)
Ordered some more bits so will update the pics later0 -
well some updates, decided on the Orange and White theme :-)
Spank bars and stem, Charge Spoon Wiggle seat and seat post.
going to order som superstar ornage grips and pedals next :-)
What do you think?0 -
