Which Bike??

robertborowik

Looking to purchase a bike after not having one for a few years, I have narrowed it down to two. I cant decide which though, any advice is appreciated.

Giant Talon 1 2013

They are quite similar, the Talon a bit less racier. Bith seem poor value though.

That is bargain tastic!

that does look like a good bike, been looking at the terms and conditions and rutland cycles wont sell items on cycleschemes that are on promotion

The Rookie

Thought that may happen!

Look at Pauls Cycles, they accept cycle scheme but do charge a 10% admin fee on the discounted bikes - still some bargains though...

You can also get Decathlon bikes through Cyclescheme, they are good value, do you have one near you?

Because the schemes take a chunk - you could always ask if you could pay extra to cover this.
