Just came across this bike, Its priced at £629.99 but if you put code SAVE25 in then the price will come down to £604.99. Which i think is fantastic price for a fantastic bike. All the sizes apart from XL are available. This offer is only until Monday though so better grab it before it runs out.

Weight The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All Giant bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.

If you need stabilisers then I wouldn't suggest this is the bike for you, start easy by learning to just stand and walk, try picking your hands up from the ground to avoid them dragging and scuffing the knuckles. Keep the jaw closed to avoid dribbling and avoid eye contact with children, they can be nasty little critters known to take advantage of the lower orders. Soon and with luck evolution may be kind to you, many generations down the line a distant cousin may just learn to ride a bike and understand the subtle art of humour. :wink:

That's a bit unfair, there are idiots on BOTH sides, the problem nowadays is that everyone is so highly strung that the slightest error results in disproportionate anger :disappointed:
This or the Tesco Richmond @£70?

Seems a good price. Bit annoyingly cheap of them not to include a 105 chainset at the least when it really can't be costing them much in bulk or even going the whole hog!
White bar tape is never a good idea for any bike.
Apart from that pretty good deal and ideal for a beginner!

The RS500 against isn't *that* much heavier than a 105 but it much cheaper for you the rider to replace the chainrings when they wear out. The RS500 uses standard 5 bolt 110bcd rings. The 105 uses Shimano-only 4 bolt 110 rings so you have to buy their replacements.

Didn't know that as still on 10 speed as it's more than enough for me an I can't smash a double. Really smacks of trying to force you to stick with them. SRAM still have 5 bolt.
Maybe the Tektros are decent on here but the 105 5800 are very well rated and any stock Tektros haven't been great IMO
It's a good price and the 32t chainring suggests this is aimed at beginners who want an introduction to road cycling.
Lots of bikes cheaper for beginners around £400 or even full carbon around this price.
The irony for a beginner to road cycling and completely new to it is without doing a lot of research or knowing people to recommend things then a lot of people will learn the most expensive way either buying a new bike outright, through CTW or insurance.
Once you have learnt from your mistakes you'll know what to look out for and you can pick up some really decent bikes for about 1/2 this price

More than £600 for a pushbike without peddles. I blame Bradley Wiggins for all these bikers.

Might not get the cashback if using a code but might as well try the 3.45% TCB as well and see if it slips through :smiley:
