    Oh I'm so tempted.

    Do they always have the BOGOF offer on?

    My daughter has outgrown her bike, and my son had his stolen a few weeks ago.
    I think sterlinghouse do a cheap insurance policy too;)

    I recently bought their bogof mens bikes. When I ordered the web site said demand was high so delivery would be within 21 (or 28 cant remember which) days. They turned up 3 days after ordering!

    Bikes seem great, only tried one out properly so far though. I used them because they cam highly recommended by a friend.

    Would you recommend upgrading to the deluxe bikes, or are the £99 ones OK?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Haha.. I'm sad been adding to my spreadsheet and thought I'd add a new worksheet for 1 off purchases... seeing how long I had them and how long they had lasted so see if they were worth the intital investment.

    Well my sterlinghouse bike was £57.. I've had it 55 weeks (only been used for the last 8!!) and it's worked out it's cost me 15p a day.. or £1.04 a week. I must admit it rained while it've locked it under no cover and now I have a strange whuring noise.. I'm hoping WD40 will fix it.. one section has gone alittle rusty too (really quick!) which is ashame.. as it was untarnish before I started using it! LMAO!!! I'm not sure what a good weekly figure will be until I need to replace it!!!

    I got the £99 ones and they are fine for what i need them for... my partner (bike freak) would not want the cheap or deluxe ones but they are fine for me and my friend to ride around on.
