    Thanks for that, yes looks like a good company. How did you find ordering/delivery etc and bike itself?

    They are some sweet looking machines, my son is looking for an upgrade, he is 8 but based on the prices he would have it till he was 20....when he can pay for his own!!

    A couple of years ago now but very straight forward. Think I printed and faxed over order. They rang back for credit card details and to confirm order. Arrived by courier about 8/10 days later. Just had to fit wheels and pedals.

    Sterling is a killer at the moment but I think they are very well priced.
