Halfords discount on Boardman bikes (and others)

Dr House · 23 Jul 2014 at 17:16

So I just ordered a bike from Halfords.

boardman hybrid Pro.
http://www.halfords.com/cycling/bikes/hybrid-bikes/boardman-hybrid-bike-pro-2014

Bike cost was £1000
I got 10% off using B15HYB01
Wich brought the cost down to £900
Then 10% BC discount = £810
I ordered gift vouchers at 10% off through = £729
http://select.halfordsbusinessservices.co.uk
using code MCOUNTHal09

Take off the 4% cash back on £810 which brings the total cost down to £697.

Hope this helps someone.

Condolences on spending £700 on a hybrid :/

I know but I dont need a MTB bike and did not feel comfortable with a road bike so this was the best compromise I could think of.

someone dumped a brand new Trek 7300 in my storage room so I have that to use also if i want to go off road.

or just get a cx bike

I thought about the CX but having never owned a road bike I did not know how I felt about the drop bars and also I really like the idea of hydraulic brakes which the CX does not have.

At the end of the day I can sell this bike for £500 to £600 so if I dont like it its not such a big issue.

Note I have not been on a bike in 10 years lol.

So I tried riding this bike and just do not enjoy it lol, I would much rather go for a run.

Other than ebay can someone suggest a bike forum where I can sell it? How much would I get back? Its only been out twice.

Probably not waiting 9 months before trying it out would have been a good idea.

Lol I know, I hate the cold and I'm free form work now so I thought I would give it a go.
