Hi all,
My work have just started to offer a discounted bike scheme with halfords. I need a bike for the London Tri and training and wondered if the following was any good?
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_370039_langId_-1_CarSelectorCatalogId__CarSelectorGroupId__varient__categoryId_47151_crumb_33980-33957_parentcategoryrn_47151
With the scheme I can get a saving of around £450 so will effectively only have to pay £550 over 9 months. They are also throwing in £75 worth of accessories of my choice.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Adam

Look at the planet x website I think they tell you this somewhere on there also
You could try searching for cycle2work and see what gives.
Basically, if it is in a catalogue then Halfords Cycle2Work can source it, apparently. Halfords administer one of the many cycle to work schemes, and you are not tied to their shops.
One of the guys on the Halfords helpline said that most roadies (and tri-geeks) end up going for either the Focus Cayo (available from www.wiggle.co.uk) or one of the Planet-X (www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk) bikes at £1000 - that would be the Pro Carbon (road), or the Stealth (TT).
Things may have changed since I last looked into it. Give them a call. They were surprisingly helpful.
Hope this helps, all I know is none of my mates has had a problem using the scheme and it does seem a great way of getting a decent bike cheaper.
All the best.
