I'm looking at buying a Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 2004 - having had good Google about, the best price I can find is £1199.99 (rrp: £1399.99) from http://www.evanscycles.com



Can any of you guys suggest where I'd be able to find it for cheaper? I wasn't really wanting to spend more than £1k (unlikely, I know...)

Does it have to be new ?

Ps Where is my promised picture of the IWC ?

andym172

Doesn't HAVE to be new, but 'as new'.

Have been extremely busy since I got back - will e-mail you soon Did you go ahead with the Daytona?

yoza

Yes, shall send you a pick when Im sorted.

And does it have to be 2004? I know of a 2003 for sale - not mine - for around half the amount you're looking to pay.

ring them up and offer them a grand for it then.

its an 04 model and the 05's will be coming out VERY shortly. plus sales will be slowing down due to it being fall now anyways.

if they dont accept your £1k offer now, they most likely will when the 05 models do come out in about a month or so.

altho personally my £1k would have gone on a marin rocky ridge

Try Leisure lakes ...............
Where are you?

Quality bike - good choice!

Agrre with the above. 05 bikes will be here in no time and these boys - Evans included - will be dropping their pants before too long.

Thanks for the replies

I'm based on the Wirral, so am close to both Liverpool and Chester.

Mr Moose () - could you please e-mail me with details of where I could buy the 2003?

Speak to Dave @ Maclaines in Wolverhampton 01902 716786

Not sure whether he'll have any in stock, or at what price, but I reckon he'd negotiate if you could point him in the direction of decent low mileage Classic Wagon Turbo for about £7k... TBH its a long shot but maybe worth a try

Have gone for a Stumpjumper FSR Comp in the end - rrp is £1599.99, I'm paying £1350

Anybody recommend a good bike rack that can be fitted to a VW Golf without tow bar?

pbee

saris bones is a quality bike rack.

Got a Thule 3 bike rack on my R32. Good solid rack, can still open hatch with it on, carries my Rock Lobster Tig Team SL and Bianchi Gold Race 600 safely - tested at up to 100mph (on track, of course )

Philip Attaway

Any one got any pix of a boot mounted bike rack on an 03 Sti?

Fed up of using the wifes Corsa to transport my Rock Lobster Team Ti (Dave )

It wont go it the boot as the seats are fixed

LOL

I was going to get the Ti but my girlfriend couldn't justify it

Still trying to get her to agree to me getting a Trek Madone 5.9 road bike, but she says I can't have one until i've earned it

Philip Attaway

Shouldn't take long to earn it, they are quite cheap

Dave T-S

She means earn it from the point of view of being good enough to ride it, and as her hero is Lance Armstrong that will be never

Bought a Saris Bones - looked too cool to pass by

Will fit it to the car tomorrow.

Thanks again for the advice guys, prepare for more newbie-like questions in the future

Anybody wish to recommend any good bike sites?
