Gearing looks a bit long for weaker legs or hilly areas, combined with a 12+kg weight, I doubt it will be the easiest bike to hustle around. But, it's a bicycle and will be rideable, as long as your expectations aren't very high.

I think you dropped an 'n' from your 'ever'? :confused:

Nope. I think you're misunderstanding the logic of the correspondence. You said it didn't include their faked price, implying that £299.99 isn't a faked price but a real one: ergo you implied it WAS worth £299.99.

Read my original post again. What are you thinking the 'it' in your "you said it didn't include their faked price" is? You seem to think I was refering to the Argos page itself not carrying a fake 'was' price, instead of this HUKD post here which did not include the usual Argos fake 'was' price. Clear now? :stuck_out_tongue:
