Stupid comment based no doubt on one bad experience!!! I have had many bikes from Halfords (although bike snobs such as yourself may refer to them as "bike shaped objects") and they have been fine. However, my mate bought a Scott from Evans and it was set up so badly that the seat span around on the post, the brakes didn't work and the chain fell off the top of the cassette!!!! Does that mean that Evans are crap? of course not, does it mean one employee messed up? more than likely!!!

An excellent bike, though I'm not an expert on these things. Had mine two years.

Good frame, basic claris groupset (compared to others available) but reliable.
Great first bike or good cheap winter bike or great value commuter

good bikes but poorly assembled, which is why I'll never buy a bike from Halfords again.

Bikes are EASY to take apart and re-assemble. I would highly suggest going on youtube and learning to do it all yourself, as it will save you a lot of cash in the long run!
I went from having to take my bike to the local bike shop to adjust the dérailleur to taking apart a pair of Epicon forks for a mini service.
