Lol! From the 'Basket' page, after you tick 'Gift box':

In gift box?
For £2.95 we can put some or all of your order in a gift box.
If we have to use several we'll only charge you for one. :rotfl:

Was that for the same bike? I would like to see before buying one, hence the question.

No - Halfords make is "Apollo" whereas the Boots one is "Universal".
My daughter already has the smaller Universal one and they are very alike - certainly not worth £70 of a difference !!

She's has the old universal one for 3 years now and it gets tossed about all over the place but is still in good condition. She only needs a new one as shes outgrown this.

Anyone know the quality of these ...?

I used to work for a major retailer (not boots) and at that point (around 6 months ago) there were 2 main manafacturers of cheapo bikes. They sell the same bike badged as whatever brand people want to a number of places including stirling, boots, woolies the supermarkets etc.

Quality is what you'd expect for a £50 bike... I've not seen this specific one so won't comment on this exact model BUT I've seen a couple from stirling, 1 from bid up TV, and a number at my local woolies and they're all a similar bad standard. Cheap components, VERY heavy frames.

They are cheap but IMO not good value...

E.M.

Thanks for the reply - it's what I suspected. Cheap bikes tend to be very heavy steel frames. Pay your money, take you choice.

Actually, these bikes aren't always that bad. I've seen quite good components on some of them - shimano, etc. Not state of the art, but for £60....My last £500.00 bike snapped in half on the frame - so I reverted to the two year older £90 in the shed that was still working........
