After talking to a few of my cycling friends i wanted to take the plunge and buy a new bike. Didn't really know much of cycling just what friends had advised. So contacted Hargroves Cycles Mail Order and after explaining what i was looking to do cycling wise they advised me at length (without making me feel stupid) what type of bike that i should get to best fit my needs. So after making my mind up ( with their help) and purchasing the Specialized Allez 24 I was eager to get the bike. I was looking to commute so got a few tips from them and they have saved me from being ate more than once.
Once the bike arrived(a day earlier than estimated) i had it together and on the road the same evening not a problem and easy set up. Now the bike is helping me get fit and cutting my costs for going to and from work. Although i do think this new love for cycling I have may cost more in the long run. Contacted a local club and going out for first ride on Sunday with them. We will see how i do.
The bike though is exactly what i wanted and i dont think i would have picked this without the kind polite guidance from the Hargroves Cycles staff. Will be going back to them for next bike but i am going to make the effort to go to the store in Swindon. Hope they have the same training and helpful nature. I now have high standards got a lot to live upto.
Thanks Again Guys.
