Sports Direct Bikes - £49!

Just seen this on the TV and thought it might help someone. Does anyone know if these offers are normally available in store?

    They seem to do some good prices on Muddy Fox bikes. Are these any good?

    Doubt it, Sports Direct have bought Muddy Fox & sell cheap tat under the brand while it still has a good reputation like many of the other brands they sell like Karrimor.
  • For value I don't think you can beat Boardman bikes available at Halfords, currently most models have £100 off. If you want something decent for long summer rides this would be my first recco.

    Thanks for all the feedback. I was looking at one for my 7 year old daughter but think I will keep looking as the reviews don't appear to be positive.
