Yup, the bike itself was £240.
It's not massive, it just looks large from the picture. Thought I might get myself a nice traditional big shiny drrriiiinnnnggg drrrriiinnnngggg type bell to replace it

It was the middling service for £70 from Havebike. Guy phoned me up yesterday morning and said 'in order to make the most of the service, our mechanic recommends you...'. Racked up £140 of extras, such as new chain, new bottom bracket, even new pedals I think. I'll see when they drop it off later.
It's only a 12 year old Carerra Vulcan. They cost like £270 brand new.
Sir, you have been well and truly been stitched up like a kipper!

Where from? Can you provide a link?
Indeed. Should have just bought a new Carerra Subway (or similar) for the same money.
Bike does hold some sentimental value, due to some epic cycling holidays and as it was a gift from my mum.
I'll take it back to the local bike shop next year.

Halfords. Normal price is £350. It was on discount to £299 and they had a 20% extra discount sale on (may still be happening) so it was £240.
I got it through C2W which makes it even cheaper.
I would certainly keep the bike for sentimental reasons. I treasure anything I have left that was a gift from my late mother

Yep the 20% off at halfords on bikes is still on. I got mine (posted earlier) for a bargain.
That's right yes.

You don't need much of this. This little lot will last six months.
Wow. They saw you coming.
