Hiya,
As above really how much did you pay for your steed and how long ago?
Im trying to work out the best prices for the above bikes as halfords are always adjusting the prices and have different offers on all the time
Cheers for any input on this

Ah, I remember being at Halfords in 2000, and selling that Fury - Deore and Judy XC I believe.
Did you join that XC thing that they were doing?0 -
£200 for a barely used Kraken here, I think it got ridden round the park twice, not even long enough to wear out the terrible BBUncompromising extremist0

500 or 600 in 2007 on cycle to work. good little bike. not the lightest or the sexiest, but a good little bike none the less.0

thats a cracking deal markmark.123 thats the sort of deal i was hoping/looking out for
did it actually say £320 in your basket as you checked out/completed reservation?, or was the extra cash taken off when you went to collect and pay
cheers0 -
have a look at their online promotions history here it gives you an idea of the offers and when they come around...

Supersonic!
Yeah silver with the Black front end, Judy XC's still look like them but got Race internals with the alloy adjusters now! I put some Deore Cable brakes on using those wierd hubs where you can change the spokes without taking rotor or cassette off!
It now got 2002 M4s and Hope XC hubs on X317's, just old kit lying around these days!
I should be getting my mickey mouse style light next week. Keep an eye on what lights post!
And ON topic.
Having worked at halfords for 5 years back in the day, when bikehut was new and good! The promotions changed very quickly with roughly 20% off bikes for about 50% of the time so some months you'd be lucky and other not so! (£20 free accessories woopee!)

£440 for my Fury a couple of weeks ago when they had one of their 20% off sales. Picked it up yesterday (had to be ordered in).0
-
£440 for the Fury about 2 weeks ago with the 20% discount offer.0
-
Just wondering how did all you guys get it for £440? The list price is £599 to 205 off would be £480 did you just negotiate an extra £40 off or what??0
-
The Halfords sale was a pile of shit, they raised the rpices the day before teh sale jsut for that one day on Vulcan's. Original price was about £259 for it then they raised it to £310 so wth the 20% discount it worked out at £247 so a saving of 12 quid!!!!!
Fucking con!0 -

Kraken, circa 2004, looks like it was stored in a ditch, £10
Only the frame, mech hanger, BB cable guide, headset and BB are useable unless anyone wants some RST fork lowers!

I brought an 08 Kraken for £300 yesterday0

£387 for the latest Fury a few weeks ago. The advertised price at the time was £530, but I negotiated a £100 discount for the display model (it was the last bike in any of the local stores and had a very superficial paintwork blemish), and I paid for it with gift vouchers that I'd purchased online at a 10% discount.

Hello, paid £530 for my Fury in June 2010 !!

I paid £530 for my Fury last Sunday.
I didn't really feel like waiting around, I came on here for some advice on which bike to buy on the Saturday, and then on Sunday went and followed through on that advice and got the last 18" model at any of the local stores.
It was a great decision, I love my Fury!0
