Ridgeback Solo 2009

ridgeback solo

Here’s a good deal from Evans Cycles! This 2009 Ridgeback Solo bike is discounted and is now only £449.99 so that’s way lower than the original £586.99 …gotta love getting a last years model.

This Ridgeback Solo is a practical single speeder for either winter training (because it’s got mudguards) or a straightforward commuter bike. Fitted with quality components and a precise build this bike will last for years and provide reliable service. Quality Alex rims on sealed Formula track hubs means this bike won’t suffer in the rain. Of course you could easily take the mudguards off if you don’t fancy them for the summer months.

Available in a range of frame sizes from 52cm up to 60cm.

For example, the 2010 Charge Plug Griffin (pictured above) is £569 so you’ll save a decent wedge on a rather spiffing single speeder. Not sure about that saddle though myself!

Anyways, remember you’ve only got until tonight to use the code at checkout.

Evans Single Speed Offers

Last week I wrote about saving money on a last year’s bike model. Well, I’ve just wind of some deals on single speed bikes from leading retailer Evans Cycles.

The 2009 SE Lager single speed roadie (main picture) is currently discounted from £419.99 down to £349.99 – read more here.

And finally, the ’09 Kona Paddy Wagon on offer today at just £479.99.

Here’s what a recent owner has to say about this Kona single speed roadie.

It is drilled for both front and back brake so although it can be run as a fixie (it also has a flip-flop hub with fixed gear) it is also very versatile. The fact that it comes with two brakes and a flip-flop hub means that those new to riding can start on the freewheel and build up to riding it fixed.

Last Years Model

There’s always one sure-fire way of saving a decent wedge on a bike… buy brand new but buy last years model.

Bike shops don’t want to be stuck with stock so they’ll typically discount last years models when the current year model is released in January or February.

Take this Charge Plug Grind as an example. Okay, it might not be to everyone’s taste but for those who do like it you can get a huge 25% off at wiggle right now. That’s a damn good saving!

The downside of last years model? Well as stocks dwindle you might struggle to get the right size frame – so if you see one that fits, don’t ponder for too long or it might sell out.
