Mutley, no tokens I know of, but would recomend against this lot unless its a LOT cheaper than the next best price.

I bought a bike off them (£350) and when the rear hub broke within 9 months of purchase, called them to confirm it would be replaced under warranty which they said they would. As I didn't want the delivery costs I drove for an hour for them to swap it out. When I got there, they said it was wear and tear and refused to honour the warranty. They had me over a bit of a barrel as I was there with bits of bike in my hands and had to fork over another £50 odd. I took the wheel to my local bike shop who said:-

a.) they would have replaced it under warranty
b.) the job done to replace it was slap dash

These guys are an internet company who run on TINY margins(they have a notice up in there stockroom saying something to the effect of "Don't send out a bike in a box for free, if this charge is left off WE LOSE MONEY ON A BIKE SALE" or something. As such they have not left a huge space for customer services.

Something to consider (but as I say, it may still be worth it if they're by far the cheapest....)

Thanks for the advice, I was a little worried about buying something which is so expensive from a company that are miles from were I live. The Cheapest I've actually found the bike is at https://www.mailordercycles.co.uk, if anyone has bought or knows anything about this company please let me know. :beer:
