Good stuff. Gets great reviews. I'd suggest either getting it unbuilt from Halfrauds and building yourself or getting a decent local bike shop to build it. I'd not trust Halfords.

My car service normally runs upto about £700

Ben - new chain/cassette and some new bearings somewhere plus i asked them to stick some new bar tape and huds on while they had it.

Also told I need new wheels but new road bike in 2 months time so decided to leave it at the above. Its only cos I am selling it to someone I know that I even had that work done TBH.

If you ever and in a whole bike they will always find something else that 'needs' replacing

I''ve learnt to only take in the offending item now

Yeah I will do the same now. I only had a new chain and cassette last May so was a bit alarmed that needed changing. Then I worked out how many 1000s of miles I've done since and I've probably only lubed the bike half a dozen times.

I think you're right. The other thing was new brake pads. I put new brake pads on at the start of December

I ride with a guy who owns a bike shop, only problem is he doesn't tend to get his hands dirty any more. I always agree with him what needs doing, then it's passed onto his mechanics and it's them to find other 'faults'!

I've asked my place numerous times over the years to do the scheme but they keep refusing.

Would love a new bike

Why not just get a bike on interest free? Quite a few bike shops were doing 36 months interest free when I was looking for a bike..
