    Good Points: very light, gears easy to use pleasure to use very day.


    Bad Points: four broken spokes in only six months and the dirailer bracket snapped.


    General comments: very pleased with the Carrera Gryphon bike , value for money, however poor after sales and advice from Halfords. I am cycling on average 170 mies per week and when the rear spokes kept snapping I was first told by Halfords that I was not cleaning the bike properly, then I was told that I was using the bike to excess 4000 miles in six months I feel is not excess.I am still in dispute with Halfords over the snapped derailer.

    I have the Carrera Gryphon for 12 months now and use it for daily commute and done about 1400 miles. Great bike for the price and value for money. Two niggles though.
    1. I got a puncture about 6 months ago and on further investigation found that rim tape has slipped exposing the holes for the spokes. These holes had sharp edges and were not deburred. I had to put on a second rim tape to solve.
    2. At just over a year old it has started to break spokes in the rear wheel. It is happening regulaty n ...

    I dunno why i went into halfords, but ended up buying a carerra vulcan - which i hated. salesman told me that i can lock the suspensions - which was a lie. almost lost my life on the thing as i bounced off at a corner. returned the damn thing as i was mis-sold to. wanted something promising, so after 2 hours of testing all the bikes - i bought a gryphone - and i love it! Very fast bike. I used to get really tired and sore from the vulcan, but this one keeps up with the spesialised and the ridgys ...

    A cracking bike for commuting - it flies compared to my old road bike, much better riding position for commuting, very smooth with minimal vibration trasmitted to rider (my biggest worry). I'm very pleased with it, and at less than £300 it's excellent value too.

    I am only doing about 45-50miles a week at the moment but will be using it for the London to Brighton ride in June. Early days with it but will keep you informed if there are any changes.

    I needed a low cost commuter that can do the miles (160 a week on London's shoddy roads). I've had the Gryphon 4 months now and it is perfect. Really good brakes, nice gearing, light and quick. At under £400 it is a very well specced machine.

    I was somewhat wary about buying from Halfords and true enough the first one I went into was staffed by Fraggle Rock. But the staff at Kingston Upon Thames were interested, knowledgeable and helpful - like a real bike shop. The 6 week service was ...
