Charge Plug

nimhbus Yeah, i like to support my LBS too, ( Holdsworth), but they don't make it easy - when i was about to buy a Flyer, i asked them if they would budge in price, but not a sausage. They stuck firm at 499. and when you can get it for 430 online, delivered, to your door, well, like I say -it's not easy.

At least your LBS is a real bricks and mortar store where you can see and test ride the bike. That £70 will be money well spent if you run into trouble with your internet purchase and don't feel like popping to the warehouse in Wales or some distant shop you bought it from.

Online shopping has it's place but I really think buying your bike online is a fools game. If you appreciate what your LBS does for that 30-35% margin (build it, sell it to you, free servicing, warranty) then that should make make the decision easy

Yes, I work in a bike shop. (not Holdsworth)
