But from day one the bike was never right and I believe it was never assembled properly \u2013 the handlebars kept coming loose, for example. About a year after buying it I took it back into to Halfords, but even after that it still wasn\u2019t right and I now realise I should have asked for my money back. I only paid \u00a3200, which these days isn\u2019t a lot for a bike, but the least I would expect is that it would be put together properly.

Almost all the other parts are having to be replaced, the frame is the only part that doesn\u2019t have anything wrong with it. The cost of getting this done has turned out to be more than what I paid for it, but I know that they will do a good, professional job and that I\u2019ll more or less be getting a brand new bike.
