Did you actually try and reserve the bikes?
Or do you mean web exclusive bikes?

The price in halfords for the boardman comp is now £499. Does that mean we could get it for £399 with the £100 discount?


Also, does anyone know how long the LOC is valid for?

I just collected my Boardman today and got it for 360 by reserving online and getting that 40 quid off for spending over 400 quid, and by taking in that lovely 100 quid off voucher. I now have a tasty Boarman and 140 quid worth of tat :dance . I would have got one of those Garmin 200's, but my missus got me one for my birthday.

If you mean the web offer in conjunction with the 100 quid off voucher, then yes. I phoned Halfords before I went down, and the first guy I spoke to said 'no, you can't do that, but I'm not sure', then he put me on to the manager to check, and the manager said yes. But I didn't want to push my luck by seeing if I could use the 50 quid off voucher as well. :no no

Just had my first ride on the Boardman to acclimbatise to riding in the dark. Lovely fast bike, but I almost came a cropper when some dozy bitch opened her car door just as I was going past. :Applause
