May be worth having a word with one of the managers! In the summer I was looking to spend £500 ish on a decent road bike. Was only in the early stages,and wanted something to get me to Barmouth in a day! Was in the early stages of planning, and had not really discussed it with them too much. Ended up buying a second hand Peugot, but we had discussed buying a new one for well under the budget! Nice fella's, open to discussion if you talk to the right person, can get new bikes, and were happy to do so. Unfortunately can't remember his name! Was going to order it when I confirmed my budget, unfortanately didn't have as much spare cash as I thought!
But B2B had been happy to do the deal within the budget for a decent new bike, at a very reasonable price.
Ended up doing it, Did it on a bike from B2B that cost £75,
RESULT! OK they did service it just before I did the ride, and put on new tyres, but thet only cost me £50, I didn't get a puncture, and it had worked fine for 6 months, prior to that !

Have a chat with them, I am sure you will be pleased If you speak to the right person! You have nothing to loose. Best of luck!
