  • Yup, I'd talked about doing something similar with some of my LBSes years ago but never went through with it.

    I'd planned on using the scheme to buy a mishmash of bits:

    • Cheapshit frame (just to make it a complete bike for the purposes of the scheme but useful as a possible turbo trainer bike)
    • decent front wheel (to swap onto a good bike)
    • groupset upgrade for another bike (old groupset would go on this bike)
    • rear wheel built with a PowerTap hub

    In the end I found I could get a better deal biding my time and looking out for deals in the sales.
