Hi All
Just wondered if anybody UK, has any experience buying a complete bike from Winstanleys. I know they had a baaad rep back in the day...
Ordered a bike an just wondering what to expect, So Far:
Ordered bike staurday mornin
despatch Email saturday afternoon saying 24hr delivery. Checked despatch number with APC an no information given. Delivery number not working on APC's site...
Monday mornin, emailed APC an waiting reply.

will update for others here / future reference

P.S the bike is a FIT series 22. I was worried aboot Winstanleys rep but, £480 price tag was too good £270 off a £750 bike!

Cheers
