    Oi Frank, dont let the cat out the bag, I ve been getting Mrs W's No 5 (Charlie Girl) from Wilkos for years.

    Like Brad says in the ad "Its inevitable".

    Dont think this Pinarello's in Halfords thing will catch on Unless they do Rapha Kit as well my dentist wouldnt be seen dead in there.

    But Pinarello make some low-end bikes entirely suited to Halfords where as Ferrari don't tend to get involved with mpv's or diesel hatchbacks. I'm a little surprised at the responses across the forum, I had no idea Pinarello were still regarded to be so 'premium'. It's not like H.Samuel are flogging and servicing Rolexes.

    Personally I don't think Halfords should be allowed to sell anything more advanced than a scooter. I bought a Boardman fixed wheel from them, 20 yards down the road the sprocket rattled loose as they had forgotten to tighten the locknut :(
    Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

    I've sufferred lots of shyyyyt from the local pros at the LBS before I learnt to do it myself, so I don't expect Halfords to be any different: some are good, some are bad - if they are gash, take it home in a box and do it yourself, if they are good let them do it.

    Like anywhere else I suppose ...........
