I was told in Spitalfields' Evans that they could do special orders for ride to work schemes, can't get wheels or mechanics stands though which is hilarious as they sold me the bike without brakes. I also put it to them that maybe I can't have a stand so it'd force me to pay them to service my bike?.. Not amused. I wanted a Nitto bar but it just seemed like too much hassle as there's no UK distributor (as I understand) so I bought a load of other stuff that I don't really want.
My work does a scheme so that they lend you the difference after the tax breaks then charge you £50 at the end of it for the bike, no matter how much the voucher/ bike was for in the first place. This, apparently, is not a crime?
