    Don't discount the Trance. Its a very good bike and not too dissimilar to the Anthem.

    I phoned pedalon and the chap said there would be a 10% charge taking the price to £1100 and it would be up to me and my employer to sort it out as the c2w limit is £1000.

    Any ideas how this would work? Will my employer flat out refuse or do I pay £100 to the employer then the following £1000 comes off my wage?

    Funnily Evans were offering me a sale bike without adding on the extra 10%

    I got mine from PedalOn and you just pay the shop the extra £100 and use your employers voucher for the rest.

    I suggested this to the guy on the phone but he wasn't interested. I'll try again on Monday, hopefully get to speak to someone else

    Strange ?
    Having said that I did order mine all online, you just add the bike to the basket, then add the cyclescheme voucher, fill in all the necessary details, both on the shop website and the cyclescheme website, then sit back and wait for the email conformation voucher, contact the shop after this and arrange for collection or delivery.
    I'm close enough for collection, perhaps the delivery option is what could be giving you problems ?

    If you are a small there's this: http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/produ ... _Bike_2011

    Or a medium: http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/b ... -2012.html

    Both places take cyclescheme.

    Might be worth a try, if it goes through at a thousand I might get billed for the £100 which is what I want.

    Two bikes I've never seen passout, but they look good. The mondraker looks a cracker but out of stock now.

    ^Oh right, must have gone out of stock quite recently. I'd certainly check out, Merlin, Real Cyles, JE James & Winstanleys for bargains.

    Anthem should be here for the weekend, thanks everyone for your input and original suggestion of the giant.

    I hired a hardtail genesis on Sunday up at glentress and had a hoot. I was really pushing on and felt that a fs would take the sting out a bit as I have been pretty sore today :lol:
