edited July 2013 in MTB buying advice
I've pretty much decided to get a Boardman Comp MTB.

Tried one out and the assistant gave me a leaflet giving 10% off if I donate an old bike to Bikes for Africa charity from 11-16 July

Now, in the shop, the Comp is £649. Online it is currently £584. It says on the leaflet that to get the 10% off I can reserve online and pay in store.

But, if I order now it says collection from Sat 6th (too early for the 10% offer). Does anyone know how long they will reserve the bike instore for ie, if I don't collect Saturday, when would they cancel the sale?

    Would do but he gave me the leaflet as I left the store and I didn't read it until I got home.

    Now 20 miles away from store and don't really want to do the trip if I can get away without it :-)

    they can reserve for up to a week but you need to reserve online first then phone them.

    Seriously? You use your phone to phone people?

    They'll hold it a few days, as long as you speak to them. When I reserved mine online (couple of weeks ago) they phoned me to ask when I wanted to collect it, so they knew when to build it (they didn't want it hanging around built, risking getting scratched).
