All sorted with no fuss. Someone in the shop mentioned this thread and said they had already applied the discounted price to my invoice and the partial refund was quickly sorted. Thanks!
The mudguards they had in stock in the shop only went up to 28mm and I've got some spare wheels with 35mm marathon winter spiked tyres in case of snow/ice and don't want to have to remove/refit mudguards as well as swapping wheels. Can't find any mudguards (full length with stays) for 35mm tyres online either, the few that are on the site are out of stock completely. Will move across my old knackered set from the current commuter and keep checking the stock.
Thought £375 was an OK price for this bike so definitely good value at £260. Might make me actually look forward to my commute!
Now have an afternoon of completely dismantling my old commuter (Gary Fisher Nirvana) and moving over a load of stuff (pedals, rack, mudguards, dynohub wheel, front/rear lights, etc). Most of the rest will go to the tip as it's almost all worn out. 8yo daughter is going to help and hopefully learn how various bits of bikes work.
