Just wondered if anyone had used these off the internet as they have a £60 saving on the new Gopro Hero 2 which is best price i have found.

    They are local to me, the Fenton shop anyway - which I believe also manages the web stuff. I'd have no worries buying online.
    If buying instore, i'd prefer the cannock branch instead.

    It isn't 2 different branches, it is 2 different businesses.

    Used the one in Stoke a few times when I lived there 4 years ago, only ever had good experiences.

    Well you have Swinnerton Cycles and Swinnerton Cycles Forest Centre, each one run by one of the two brothers. You may be right, you may be wrong, not sure.

    I stand half corrected. A quick peek at the websites gives the impression of same family but different companies. Or maybe just different companies owned by the same (family's) company.

    T'is same family, I know both brothers. They both worked/ran the stoke store, then one branched off / left and started up the swinno's at cannock.
    Either way, the question of whether the online store is trustworthy (which I assume is what was really being asked), the answer still stands that they are. And looking at the sites, it is the fenton swinno's which is associated with the swinnerton cycles online store.
    Although you can buy online from bikechase too..

    :D

    Don't worry i've got a plan ! :wink: goes along the lines of "yes duck,no duck,three bags full duck !".

    Surely parkhall aint as "dirty" as bradwell wood and bathpoole regarding the "outdoor types" ?. certainly an eye opener the 1st time i rode past a couple of fella's "gardening"........... :shock:
