It's pretty smart, not bad for £120 :D.

Halfords are crap for servicing though, we're still on their waiting list from 2 years ago...

what do you think?
THAT WAS £300 AT ONE POINT?:|
Its a ok bike for £120 though:)
Id never spend less than £2k on a dual suspension bike. Mainly because all bikes under £2k are rubbish, there going to be too heavy. Also i dont need dual. Also it has grip shift gears, id want rapid fire for £300. Wheels look alright, brakes id want hyrdo and id want a good brand eg; Claud butler, Saracen(Maybe) GT or Raleigh.
But then you didnt pay £300 and it was £120. Thats a ok bike for that price but i dont see how it could of ever been £300. I think it should of been £120 to start off with:)

Also halfords is a rubbish place for bikes. It can take 3 - 4 months to get a part in where as any bike shop can have it in within a week.
Tbh i wouldnt say a service is that great, it takes a few mins and doesnt cost them anything. Plus your warrenty is with halfords it will be with the maker of the bike. Another thing is that you need to wait a week for a bike but most shops can have it for you same day. I also dont like the bikes they make, apollo and careara(sp on both). They do half size parts so if it needs replacing(which it will) you will need to go back there. Same with toys r us both do that and both are rubbish i think:)
