Wiggle are selling the 2013 gt avalanche 1.0 for £899.99 and the gt avalanche 2.0 for £699.99 and all of the shops i have seen online are selling at £799.99 for the 1.0 and £599.99 for the 2.0. Also the 2013 gt zasker comp 29er is £1299.99 at wiggle and sunset cycles are doing the very same bike for £999.99. All rather strange to be honest.

    I'd suggest that if people don't buy things from Wiggle because they are more expensive then they are not getting away with anything.

    Awesome internet detection. Shops have different prices.

    The new bike prices each year are normally always the same rrp across all the industry for any given bike, and that is why i brought the subject up.

    Formby cycles are selling at the same price as sunset and those prices are the rrp and i have seen the same prices at several other shops and they are the same as sunset and formby cycles which is very good for me because formby cycles is near to where i live and i will get my avalanche from them as they are a great shop and staffed by real bike folk.
