What would you do ptII

[Chris Eilbeck]

Went for a look in my more distant LBS today. They said no, that's a
good bike but you don't want that, you want this, this is more
appropriate for what you want to do and your size/shape, and we'll
have some in you can try out in a few weeks. Looks like option 2 was
the best after all ;o) Peddlars in Worcester if you're interested.

Cheers

A good call.
Supporting the LBS is usualy best for service.

Trouble is I'm now in the same position as you as I'm after a new bike
for the growing son and online prices _are_ attractive :-(

I've just bought my son a bike from the LBS. OK it was more expensive
than online but they threw in free mudguards (fitted) and offer 2 free
services. More than makes up for the higher price.

Certainly are:

Giant TCR Junior list £399 (LBS)
Giant TCR Junior Ebay £279 (Buy it now)

I'm canvassing opinion on colour options (T-Mobile or green), something
to lay down for the summer. Will probably be the only bike purchase of
the year.

Mind you I picked up a used steel Trek MT60 (see posts passim for
merits of this fine velo) for a friend for the princely sum of £35 and
delivered to Milton Keynes! From Durham! The mother is ecstatic and I
shall be servicing it on Saturday.

Not many used Junior TCR/Orbea/Trek kids road bikes out there at the
moment though.

regards,
