Bike makers who offer finance

CXrider

Am in the mood for a bike with a budget of about £2000 but wish to make use of an online supplier with a finance package, where I would put down £500 and then pay the rest monthly, preferably at 0% APR.

I have spotted Ribble, and you can just get Carbon and Di2 within budget-ish.
I have also spotted PlanetX though they have a high APR.

Anybody know of any others out there who offer decent bikes on a monthly purchase plan?

Note: I am self-employed and am not in a position to use a cycle to work scheme.

Cheers.

As for online companies that sell for 0% you could check the likes of Wheelbase, Wheelies, Tredz, Evans, CRC, Primera Sports, Hargroves and there a a few others I cannot remember off the top of my head.

Doesn't that only give you 6 months?

The 0% credit card thing can work very well. Get the card buy the bike then cut up the card, then work out a monthly repayment schedule within the 0% interest period and set up a standing order for that amount. According to Moneysupermarket.com there's loads of 12 month+ interest free cards available http://www.moneysupermarket.com/credit-cards/?source=GOO-1317AB1C&p=0&keywords=+%2Bcredit+%2Bcard+%2BdealsBroad&mckv=srCOgosNH|dc_pcrid_39650962683_mtype_b_kword_+credit%20+card%20+deals_2764ri918980&uuid=0fe4cc5d-ca84-4ee1-a093-d224184d373a&Device=c&gclid=CO3zprrK7L4CFcZf2wod0wcACg
Also Planet X do 0% over 6 months min spend £500

I am also a big fan of this idea.
Another good reason for going down this route is because you can barter on the price of the bike, whereas when you want shop 0% finance a lot of shops will not shift on price of the bike.

I think that they've changed to min £2500 for the interest free.
