We have to use halfords as thats what the company uses and i need some advice...

2 of the bikes i would have liked i cannot get because...
a, its online order and you cant use C2W vouchers online

b,the dont do a small in the bike

I have phoned customer support and they are pretty much "meh we dont givea f**K" if the website says we dont have it we dont even if the supplier makes them.

    Is that not one of the limited edition boardmans. Maybe they are just showing what stock they have left on line. I have found when you want to talk to Halfords about the higher end Boardman stuff you really need to go to one of their massive stores. I would advise Derby or Nottingham and ask to speak to the Bike Hut manager.

    The 2011/12 New Boardman range is hitting some Halford stores Now so whats on line might be NOS (New old stock) and therefore limited in sizes and availabiltiy.

    I have phoned halfords customer support and they have told me that if it is only online order then you cant use vouchers.I said thats silly as its all sales at the end of the day.
    The second bike i originally wanted was a small road race but they only stock med/large.

    The bike shown is the 2011 comp for £799 which they do sell...
