    Just ordered an Alloy GP Revolution from my local bike shop.

    Guy looked it up on his PC(they get there bits from 'Performance Parts' and said, I quote

    "Retail is £242, we can do it for £210"

    The other good bit was they will have it on overnight delivery

    After I had paid, the guy wandered off so I sneaked a peek at his PC screen to find the trade price is £160 + delivery

    Feckin licence to print money!

    Sort of puts the free delivery into perspective but I think the £160 was + VAT too which doesn't make it seem as bad...

    They do sound good though - Promise!

    Yes, maybe cos that would make it over £190 to the Dealer who would then only make £20 on it which fits in with 15% markup that most places seem to operate on.

    You've got to wonder what the actual production costs are though!
