I don't usually pay attention to RRP to be honest, but £150 all in for a new full cromo bike seemed good
put a bit more in the pot and the deals seem to get even better, can only imagine what you can get second hand if you have a nose about

I don't usually to be honest, but a bit of reserve found this for still for sale at quite a few places from between £350 and £403 ! !

Good find, thanks for posting   :daumenhoch:

I think the ad said 'genuine stock clearance' and it is last years model.I imagine these could be two of the reasons. :daumenhoch:
Looks like a bloody bargain to me,a really tempting price :)

The original link/ listing was for 21"s fella
They didn't last long and they relisted them, but were 20.6", not a huge difference for me as not exactly tall
