Mountain bike mis-sold

Hi all. Recently took out a large loan to purchase a dream bike which was advertised as having and on board computer. It arrived minus the computer so I contacted the company that sold it to me and they had made a mistake with the listing and it was the next model up which came with it. They have apologized and offered me a £100 voucher. The computer system for the bike is worth around £450. Where do I stand ? I haven't replied to the email yet

    Either take the money and keep the bike, or return it at the retailers cost for a full refund, as the item is not as described

    As it was their mistake then they should issue a full refund and pay for the return.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    You have options.  Keep the bike and accept the voucher, or return the bike for a full refund.
