Hein Gericke - getting discounts on a complete set of gear?

[Sossige]

When I've completed my CBT (which I will do ), I'll be looking to buy clothing and safety gear so I can start my training for my DAS and test.

The closest clothing shop to me is a branch of Hein Gericke and I've spent a while perusing their catalogue I reckon I'd spend something around £1500 on clobber to start me out and wondered what people's experiences of getting a discount at HG are?

Surely if I wander in with £1.5k and want to buy all my kit to start with, they would offer a discount - or if I paid for cash? If I'm spending that kind of dosh, I'd expect something to sweeten the deal!

Or would I be better off waiting for a bike show and getting kitted out then?

don't ask for peoples opinions then !

HG are franchises so you may be able to get a deal , if you don't ask you wont get .

I think you might be confusing me (I asked for the advice) and amare32, who replied to my post. Useful to know thah HG are franchises, I didn't realise that!

Thanks chaps, in the end I popped to a bike shop that I remember using years ago when I bought some Accumate accessories - it's a shop also used by the training school that I've got my next CBT arranged with.

I did buy some bits - but that's a new thread methinks

To be honest, I tried walking boots at my first CBT and found them completely unsuitable. I ended up wearing my trainers for part of the CBT

I've bought some boots (see the "I have been naughty" thread) and I'm very pleased with what I've bought. I will buy my own helmet when I have my DL196
