Any where good where I can pick up a good 2002 model mountain bike? Have heard there can be good bargains on last years models.

Looking for disc brakes and susp. Have a decent amount to spend.

Any ideas welcome lads.

Thanks Doug.

Will pop in there tomorrow. I imported my first GT through Dales years ago!!

Now Halfords sell them

Now the wagon makes sense Sipie only has internet access at work but if you sit tight I'm sure he'll be along come monday

there is a cracking mtb, full race spec model in the for sale forum, 3 grand worth of bike i believe if you fancy traveling south that is.

Civic Type R

Doug,

Alpine bikes are having a sale too - punting off last years models are low prices ...........braches in Aberdeen, Glasgow & Edinburgh.

I bought an bike fro Dales before and weren't too impressed with their service

Cheers

Dougster - sales are on now if you fancy a 2002 model Any of the places mentioned so far, or even Edinburgh Bicycle will do.

Either that or the Yellow Paper

Will see you on Tuesday anyway if I think of anymore suggestions

LG John

Edinburgh Bicycles is a brilliant shop and the staff really knowlegeable and friendly. Well, they were when I was into bikes (in a big way) when I was 16. No idea what they are like now

SiPie

They've got a bit too big for their boots and customer service has gone down the tubes a bit. They used to be excellent but they'v eordered parts for me recently and after 3 months still no joy and not even a phone call to say anything [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I've bought 3 bikes from them but won't be back

Alpine bikes in Hamilton Place (Stockbridge) would get my vote over service, repair and helpfulness but they used to only stock Kona and Scott from memory but could have all changed now

Sad to hear that Sipie, I used to think that was one of the best run businesses I knew

SiPie

It's still a good set-up and excellent for sales but they simply take on too much business on the repair side of things and have employed an awful lot of really young guys to keep things going.

Most excellent but some of the advice is simply laughable

The_Gza

Yup - SiPie is spot on with that assessment. It used to be excellent for CS - not too pushy, but helpful and knowledgeable when asked.

Unfortunately, when I was in recently looking for a new helmet (no sniggering ) I practically had to beg for help, and even then the assistant seemed to have a fairly relaxed attitude

Dougster

Any links to web sites or phone numbers guys?

SiPie

Yeah.... watch you don't choke on it

Dougster

What is the verdict on the Scott then?

sparkster

Go to PEDAL POWER in West Calder.

Ok i did ride for the sponsored pedal power RT and may be a bit biased but there good young lads who race or have raced for Scotland so know exactly what there talking about.

If you go there, say Mark Silver sent you and that i promised youde get a discount - lol

Doogsy

Nice chassis
But the engine's no up to much

Dougster

At least it is clean Doogsy!!!

I'll wash and wax your car for a couple of fillings!!!!

Just stuck a deposit down on this little shed!!!
