Good deals in Halfords until midnight - this is less than €250 if ordered online.

Lenny, Create bikes have been discussed here a few times before, maybe do a search.

e.g. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056013780

I wouldn't.

I think they look quite nice actually (bar the bright green rims) but they fall into that bracket of being to cheap to impress swanky bike snobs and to 'off the shelf' to earn respect from the fixie crowd. Not that you should care about that! As long as they are safe and suit your needs/price range then go for it!!
