Buy One Get One Free Bicycles

This is my first thread people and I am hoping for a result.
There is one company I know is based in Southend possibly on sea that does all these return bikes promotions with all bicycles still in their original cases simply because companies bought too many and now want to get rid of them.
I took little notice of them until I went to my Uncle's last Sunday and he mentioned wanting mountain bikes for his children.
I told him I knew of one company that was doing buy one get one free promotions by mail order with you paying only £7.50 P&P per bike.
Sadly I both threw away their ad and couldn't find it despite keeping some copies for the sake of my opinions section in my personal website.
Does anybody know where to look or have a copy of that ad or even better still have purchased a bicycle from that company?
I live in North-West London in case anybody has any shops they feel I should about.

Can you remember the company name? Or part of it? Then try googling for it...

Believe me, if I even remotely remembered the name of this company that is the first thing I would've done - searched for it.squeaky wrote:Can you remember the company name? Or part of it? Then try googling for it...

Didn't somebody on here mention there had been serious financial problems with this company recently? I can't remember the details but it might be worth searching the board and google prior to parting with any money...

Buying from them is something I wouldn't want to do by mail order and I avoid credit card transactions wherever possible.spankymonkey wrote:be a bit wary with some of their bikes i have had 1 really rubbish bike from there... never again will i buy a "cheapie"
Have been tempted to buy from them but told myself it was far better to go in person, try out their show bikes for myself and see if it was suitable then buy.
Sadly they are way too far away for me to verify the trouble of going there. Would be much easier I think to spare my £50.00 petrol money on buying something that looked less than a bargain.

either that or it is not easily available in my browser where I have cookies banned from almost all websites. Call me security conscious. Have been a bit mischievous in other forums
