Advantages: Light, nice ride, good brakes Disadvantages: Chain should have shield,brakes bit squeeky,only availible from halfords
I brought this as my last bike, a saracen, died on me, it was really in a terrible mess! I brought this for £400 in Halfords, which is a pretty good deal for what you get. The technician was very helpful in there, otherwise I probably would have brought a bike from a Local Bike Store.
So, what do you get for your £400 here? Well, a light and strong bike, with hyrdaulics, 24 gears, thick tyres, nice wheels with strong spokes.

Argos is different to any other high street retailer due to the method is sells items. Like in conventional shops, the items for sale are not on display for you to look and try, except in a big catalogue listing everything argos sells and not putting the items on the shop floor (except some items which I'll come back to later!).

Argos releases a new catalogue about 3 times a year, which if you didn't know is free to take from any store!
The idea behind argos is that the customer goes home and chooses what they want to buy. They then come into store where there are more catalogues places around the shop floor, this ...

i enjoy shoppig at argos and have done for many years but recently ive found that the check out girls are not as friendly when it comes to the fact that ive ordered online

I used to find ordering online simple effective and a lot easier if i was buying large items , When buying from the online line store in your area please do ring the storee before you set of as even though they have a store checker online to see if they have the stock, it seems that in my experiance it is not ...
