Hmmmm help needed

Im not the worlds biggest roadie however due to arriving at the pub on a bike most times my mates think of me as a cycling expert 🙂

One of them wants to buy a road bike - fair play to him....

He has to get it through the Edinburgh dudes which I told him was cool when he asked for my help

However it looks like road bikes have taken a big hike since the last time I looked
Last year a grand bought a whole lot of bike
This year it doesnt 🙁

Ive looked at the Edinburgh site and its looking pretty shabby for him - although hes still getting a cheap bike thro the scheme

Im sure that until recently 1k got you full carbon and 105 as a minimum but apart from Planet X which are not available in his scheme I just cant see that kind of deal anywhere else

Im tempted to tell him to just buy the Planet X and forget the ride to work as its such a good deal

Comments welcome

surely he'll be on the cycle2work or cycle scheme? why does it have to be the edinburgh co-op? and are you/he in edinburgh or elsewhere?

If edinburgh i'd recommend the tri centre, on south clerk st. they're set up with all the different cycle schemes as well.
