The trouble with buying a new Bike is that most of the more expensive bikes seem to have a single supplier at the other end of the country and it is a lot of money to fork out based on an advert. Speaking as someone who is being seduced by the Kalkhoff Pro Connect I would like to see one in the flesh before purchasing.

50 Cycles have offered a test ride in Kingston but wondered if there was anyone closer to home in the Stevenage/ N.Herts area who had one I could look at ?

Of course being a realist I could probably make do with a Windsor at half the price ~ but they dont seem to have the fun factor.;)

Hi Killjoy, don't have Pro-Connect, but do have a step thru and diamond frame Agattu.
I work in Stevenage but live in Milton Keynes and you would be welcome to try one of those. PM me if interested.
