Hi all,

We are looking to organise some focus groups to talk about bikes and components.

We need some people who would consider upgrading their components (or have done before) and who own a bike worth £2000 or more to come in and talk about them.

8pm on Thursday, May 10th at our offices just off Piccadilly Circus.

We can offer £25 to cover travel, free refreshments and food.

Any takers, feel free to get in touch - chris@antidote.co.uk

Thanks,

Chris

    I would definitely consider upgrading my component. My girlfriend is not happy with my current component, she would really appreciate the upgrade.

    I think you need to put a bit more info mate.

    I don't get out of bed for less than £26 so I'm out.

    Sounds a bit like one of those time share meetings when they hard sell you into buying before letting you out. Maybe there's some mileage in that idea, time share on bikes. Put me down for a week in August on an Anthem Advanced X SL :lol:

    May be just able to afford a week at those prices :(

    I hope this goes viral and 5000 people turn up wanting £25 travel expenses and free food.

    I'm pretty sure Antidote are legit. Although I would've expected them to outsource focus groups. But hey, what do I know, my place in-houses loads of weird things. Look! You can look at a picture of Chris! http://www.antidote.co.uk/people/chris-moger/

    ANYWAY. I attended one of these once (not for Antidote) for what I think turned out to be Blackberry. Or something very similar anyway. Got to mess with prototypes and natter about it, was quite good fun. I'd be tempted to go along but can't make tomorrow.

    Costs me £25 to get into town, there'd be no profit it in.

    Though I'd qualify on the bike. Missed it anyway. I also doubt I'd know what I'm talking about when it comes to components.

    Hi Me,

    Thanks for your interest in the groups we were planning to host.

    Unfortunately, we've had to cancel them because of some unforeseen circumstances with the guy who was suppose to be running things.

    But may well be in touch regarding a later date if you're still interested.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    I fit all those credentials your asking..

    but i'm not telling you about them...

    Although if you want to send me an e-mail with the questions you want to ask along with a £25 cheque or paypal transfer, I will consider..
