I quite fancy a Nukeproof Scout 275 hardtail as winter hack while my Orange Alpine full susser is in its winter hibernation.

CR seems to have some cracking 'Black Friday' discounts on them at the moment - are they kosher and would it be a risk to go ahead gven their apparently perilous state?

TIA

There doesn't appear to be any cause for concern provided you pay on a credit card.

Well I've just received an email update and my Nukeproof Scout Elite bike is now with Parcelforce for delivery either tomorrow or Friday so not much can go wrong from here I guesssmile

What's the legal protection if you chose the likes of PayPal finance and it turns up snapped/breaks in the next 12 months (over the period selected)?
I bought a Nukeproof Scout Elite from CRC earlier in their crisis that was a genuine £1,000 off - paid with a credit card. I'm enjoying the bike and figure that the risk of something going wrong and not being covered is more that compensated for by the massive saving I made. I simply would not have bought the bike at the full price of £2,400
