I ordered some replacement

I ordered some replacement shoe buckles and a pair of socks from Tredz – came within 48 hours. Absolutely brilliant and lovely Giro socks too. They had used the Haribos as packing I think. I had 7 packets!!!

 

So they get full marks from me – just wish I had taken the plunge a year back and bought the volare they had on massive discount oh well.

I suspect dottigirl is right though – the “in stock” on their website to be taken with a bucket of salt – I received a slightly newer item than the one pictured – I got lucky, it arrived promptly and is even nicer than the one I wanted

Good news, but more importantly how many packs of Haribo came with it?

2x fangtastics!!

Well my bike arrived this morning, exactly as informed by Tredz and in perfect working order.  Although i had my reservations ordering online and from one or two bad reviews I had read about Tredz, I can’t fault them. They included peddles and multi tool kit and peddle spanner at no extra cost.  Just can’t wait to get home and try it out tonight now, unfortuneatly I’ve got my work clothes on or else i would be out now enjoying a nice ride in the Cotswold’s!

now you’re torquing!

got me a massively overpriced titanium peddle spanner with carbon inlays from Tredz, and every turn of it makes me do a sex wee

Sorry, I’m no longer capable of bearing this incorrect peddling of what should be “pedal”. It puts you in the bottom bracket of grammar users and it’s making me cranky!

lol!

Same experience here 🙁

 

And here, still waiting for socks ordered as a Christmas present.  They are very nice about it and I get a lot of phonecalls with updates on what isn’t happening, but it is a bit annoying as I went with them initially as they said they were in stock!

Yes i did read a few bad reviews with regards to Tredz but i took a gamble that if I was let down I would be protected via Paypal.

I recieved a telephone call and email yesterday to say my bike was in stock and will be delivered on Friday.

Drat! No i missed that deal.  I did look at 2016 Defy range but couldn’t find one in my size or price range.  Local shop had Defy 2 in my size but for more than I could buy a new Contend 2.

Well done for sharing, not in the market for another bike, but a big fan of Tredz customer service and prices.
