Credit card.

For what will now cost you due to their offer at the moment, £390 i would highly recommend the Voodoo Hoodoo from Halfords, i bought it for £450 some months ago and its great for what i wanted. With the money you save you can buy some new pedals, saddle and grips which i recommend, and still have money left over.

If not, whilst the sales are on, get over to some LBS to try some out

cooldad

I didn't know Halfords offered finance.

RyanWilson

i didnt know he said he could pay by 'credit card' either.

cooldad

It's a simple option if shops don't offer credit.

RyanWilson

i love you cooldad.

cooldad

I love you too. You remind me of my ex.

cooldad

She tried to shoot me once.
TBF the Voodoo is a good deal.

RyanWilson

haha compliment accepted. But yeah, Ide go for the Voodoo for that price,

What kind of riding will you be doing?

craigy boy

the bike looks not too bad how u finding it ?

i do a lot of xc country cycling and this year i can drive so im going to be up and down the country to try out whole new places

and did you say halfords do finace ??

cooldad

Good bike, they don't do finance.

craigy boy

yeah i went to halfords today and found that out any other sites that do finace ? and if so any shouts on what bike ?

cheers i think tbh i would preffer the kona but its saying theres no 21" frames

supersonic

maybe you don't need a 21 with that kona?

craigy boy

im definetly a 21" on that bike because ive checked the sizing chart and plus they only have th 14" in stock no otheres in srock

supersonic

sizing charts are useless!

concorde

But its highly unlikely that someone thinking they need a 21" frame is going to be ok on a 14".

I bought a rockrider 8.1 last year and its a cracking bike and decathlon are very good aswell very helpful . I recommend some wider bars though but a very good stock bike . Good choice . Enjoy .
