Any chance of an answer on the Nectar discount question???Please!
So it's not so much a 'discount' as redeeming the points you've already earned. And in my case, spent on other things already...

Pretty important assembly point:
For the non-drive side crank arm bolt - the bolt that attaches the LH pedal arm to the bottom bracket i.e. the spindle at the bottom of the frame - use Threadlock (Loctite Blue or similar) prior to tightening it up with the 8mm allen key.
Drive side (RH) doesn't need it.
The LH bolt may well work loose otherwise.
If it is correctly tightened it will not come loose. We sold hundreds of bikes with square taper cranks from our shop in the '80s and early '90s and had zero returns with loose cranks.For the non-drive side crank arm bolt - the bolt that attaches the LH pedal arm to the bottom bracket i.e. the spindle at the bottom of the frame - use Threadlock (Loctite Blue or similar) prior to tightening it up with the 8mm allen key.

There's none of the symbols on the page exculding it from the 30 day return, however boxing it back up will keep you entertained
If you add it to your basket for pickup etc, then it says it's excluded"The Distance Selling Regulations state that your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and doesn’t end until seven working days from the day after you receive your goods."

Well it looks like they've all gone, didn't get one. The GF was unsure so she's missed the boat. Will keep an eye on eBay, they could be a second hand bargain when the novelty wears off.
I’m sure loads were bought by chancers looking to make a few quid; a new one is for sale on eBay for £495 already!

I got one. Quickly assembled it and took it out on Saturday for a short blast. First impressions are great. it needs setting up properly as the gears aren't perfectly adjusted and the selector cable was slightly too long causing it to interfere with the pedal arm (whatever that's called), but these are just minor issues really. The bike was also missing an allen key small enough for the bolt on the seat post clamp, but most people with a bike will have one of them.
I don't really know how to review bikes, but it feels faster than my Carrera Zelos, if that helps.

I have a 55cm one sitting here in a box, but am not sure about sizing - suspect it will be too large for my son.
What is the fit like for those who have already set them up - how tall are you, which size have you got and is it too big / too small or just right? (I know it can be adjusted so the saddle is low enough for him - 5ft6 at present, still growing, just concerned about reach and whether i will need to go to a silly short stem?)

Just get a short stem, he'll grow into it and a 60mm stem costs buttons.What is the fit like for those who have already set them up - how tall are you, which size have you got and is it too big / too small or just right?
