After riding DH MTB for years I thought I'd give road cycling a go, I decided on a Planet X pro carbon on the bike to work scheme.

The standard bike is already very good value but due to my complaining at the excessive lead time I got a set of 50mm carbon wheels worth £500 for free!

So basically got the below for £600, that in my book is an absolute bargain. Tell me I'm wrong?

so your effectively leasing the bike?
what about the m sport, lease?
No im effectively getting a 0% loan on the bike and not paying any tax on that figure so 40% saving. (My firm do not charge a fee at the end i beleive they absorb that, I work for a construction company that are very keen to be seen as a "best employer")

And the M135 is on a PCP which my car allowance covers leaving enough left for tyres etc, not that my car finance arrangements have anything to do with you or this thread!

Jeeez you get some right cash vs finance bellends on here at times rolleyes

Oh and this picture was taken after id picked it up, i assume the seatpost was up that high when in the workstand.
