I used to have zoom stuff years back it was really popular about 10+ years back  I was just interested to see if it was still about. There used to be a make of grips that everyone used to use aswell, can't remember what they are called now though.
I am going to speak to my boss about this next week when i'm back in work now

Giant are awsome. I marshaled at the last Giant and Specialised demo day and 80% of riders said the new Giant bikes were better than the new Speccy ones

Giant used to be rubbish years back, as I say I haven't got a clue about bikes now so wouldn't know.

its not as good as it seems in regards to ownership after contract;
There should be no automatic entitlement for the employee to take ownership of the cycle and cyclists' safety equipment at the end of the loan period. If the loan agreement (technically a hire agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA)) allows for ownership of the cycle and cyclists' safety equipment to pass to the employee upon the exercise of an option, the doing of any other specified act by either party to the agreement, or the happening of any other specified event, the resulting agreement is likely to be hire purchase in which case the tax exemption available for a loaned cycle may not be available.
However, at the end of the loan period, the employer may choose to give the employee the option to purchase the equipment. Typically this would be offered at substantially less than the original value of the equipment, but to prevent a taxable benefit in kind arising as a result of the transfer of ownership the employee must pay the employer the fair market value of the equipment. No tax relief is available to the employee for the purchase so, where the price is recovered from salary, it must be deducted from their net salary. VAT will also be payable on the purchase price by the employee on the supply by the leasing company or the employer as owner of the equipment.
