For these products we stock bikes from Giant and Specialized. Click on the manufacturer to go to their range on this page. Our stock lines are listed below, however the manufacturers make a vast range and these are also available to order.
Great value is pretty standard from the Giant range and the Cypress model is certainly no exception. It comes with a lightweight Aluminium frame, a short travel Suntour suspension fork and 21 Shimano EZ fire gears, ideal for street and bridlepath use. The tyres are 700 x 40mm Kevlar puncture resistant models and the bike can be 'dressed up' with mudguards and carriers as necessary. It is available in 15", 17", 19", 21" and 23", with a gents or ladies frame. All for £275
New back in 2006 following the success of the CRS gents range are the CRS models in matching his and her frames, they give a faster and more sporty ride than the Cypress range on road and are still rugged enough for a slight amount of trail use and will take mudguards. The first model, the CRS 4.0, has 21 speed Shimano gears, a fluid formed Aluminium frame, 'V' brakes, 700 x 35mm road tyres and 'A' head stem and bars. Available in 15", 17", 19", 21" and 23". Only £275
The CRS range continues with a 3.0 model at £325, and a lightened frame coming in with the 2 at £375, also getting better forks, better wheels and higher quality Shimano parts.
Giant also produce a fully equipped range of hybrid bikes to be used primarily for commuting but will also lend themselves for shopping and family bike rides. There are mens and ladies models, the latter comes with an easy step through frame design. Prices start from £250.
For a simpler bike you can also purchase a 3 speed version of the expression, again available in mens and ladies versions with low maintenance Shimano drum brakes and gears. Still fully equipped with mudguards and rack at £325 In the 'Hybrid' category from Specialized there are many different ranges of bikes. For speed we keep the Sirrus range.
The Sirrus range starts with a 24 speed lightweight double butted aluminium model, a complete Shimano transmission and Alex DA16 rims, it uses a new Specialized Nimbus 700 x 28c puncture resistant tyre for speed and durability, and for Comfort the 2010 model has body geometry grips and saddle and frame geometry to assist vibration absorbing and an aesthetically pleasing top tube which hides the taller headtube, enabling the handlebars to be placed higher. A light, fast, sporty ride. Available for 2010 in satin black for £399
At £499 is the Sirrus Sport, it uses higher quality Shimano gear systems and gets a great pair of shock absorbing lightweight carbon forks with Specialized's FACT zertz inserts, finished in Gloss White. The Sirrus is also available with specific ladies geometry called the Vita, a fast flat barred road bike range now available for specifically for women, prices starting at £399
And for a bit more durability, for the person who needs a bike with a bit of 'off road' ability, yet still agile and quick 'on road', we keep the GLOBE range, now well established in the UK after Specialized's Crossroads range was withdrawn at the end of 2006.
The Globe Vienna range starts with the 21 speed Shimano geared entry level model, it has an Aluminium frame with a CroMo fork, Body Geometry grips and saddle, plus 700c Specialized Borough tyres. This bike has fittings and clearance for mudguards and carriers which we can supply and fit for about £50, if you want them. Available in a mans or ladies versions, the Vienna 1, both in satin grey, costs £299
The Globe Vienna 2 gets higher quality Shimano 24 speed gears and wheels, and body geometry seat and grips, plus a very smart paint finish, other wise the same as the '1' price is £349
The best quality Globe Vienna is the 3. In gloss black, with double walled wheel rims for strength and lightness, still 24 speed but further improvements in quality over the lower models, just £399 |
