Only buying two bikes- the foffa and one other... Don't want to buy the same bike or even the same brand- variety is the spice of life as they say!
The full centaur campag groupset is on the drop handlebar bike foffa do. Original price was around £1300, on sale for 850 and down to 550 when bought through the cycle to work scheme... I'm really not an expert but I do have browse in bike shops every now and again and to get a campag set on a pretty good quality steel frame at that price doesn't seem too bad?
I included the spec for the charge 3 as a comparison- it's the same price as the foffa I'm buying, with a not too dissimilar frame and the components I think seem not as good (as I say I'm no expert and I might just be having a gut reaction to 'campag'). As far as I am aware the charges are not on sale. I'm just saying that this foffa doesn't seem a rip off (which has been the thrust of much of this thread).
As for me being 'suspicious' - after reading through some of the thread I actually predicted some of you might question my authenticity. My name is Toby Whitelock and I have never even met Danni Foffa. I've been to his shop once and tried one of his bikes, that's all.
