I recently ordered on my new bike on the bike to work scheme. I had order the Whyte Stirling

But I have been just told the bike is sold out and no chance of getting my hands on one until Feb 2011.

Question is should I wait, or what alternatives do people recommend?

    Would maybe suggest looking ata cannondale synapse if it is a flat bar roadie that you are after.

    Nigelven, I just took delivery of mine. I cannot believe how comfortable it is compared to my previous Gary Fisher commuter. It just soaks up the rough road surfaces into London. What size do you need? I know cyclesuk have a medium in stock and last time I was at the Whyte dealer in Richmond they had a large in stock.

    What scheme organiser? The Boardman flat bar hybrids are top notch....

    Cheers for the tip there is one in Richmond will phone up this afternoon!

    Have to save I am pretty set on waiting as I did test ride a number of bikes and this was definitely my favourite. The look and spec is great for the price

    This is why I love the Internet, with an afternoon I have gone from no bike until Feb to a bike reserved for collection in Richmond. Thanks for the great tip!
