Excuse me if this is in the wrong place!
Thought it was worth bringing to people's attention that Islabikes have an updated version of the Cnoc 16. I know this because I ordered my son one yesterday (exciting!). The nice man on the phone explained they are just in the process of rolling these out - thanks to improved pedals and wheels he reckoned they have got the weight down by 20%. The (inevitable) downside is a price hike - up £30 to £199.99. Worth noting however that this is offset by the fact delivery is now free, so actually it's only £18 up on what I was expecting to pay.
In my unbridled enthusiasm I forgot to ask if there were other models being updated, or whether the "old" version of the Cnoc 16 was still available (although I did get the impression that they were without specifically asking). Apologies for that!
Will post a review once he's on it!
