Bike Swanky 2Bike Swanky demo fleet lets you try before you buy or lease
Bike Swanky now has an extensive range of bikes and wheelsets, covering all cycling disciplines and a range of prices, that you can try out before you buy.
Effectively, the demo fleet allows you to have an extended test ride. The fleet includes road bikes, triathlon/time trial bikes, Audax and touring bikes, commuter/city bikes, cyclocross bikes and mountain bikes.
The road bike fleet, for example, includes models from DeRosa – the SuperKing, Idol, Merak and R848 – Argon 18, Airstreeem and Roux while cyclocross bikes are available from BH, Kinesis and Roux.
Wheelsets include options from Fulcrum – Racing Zeros, among others – 3T and Token.
Bike Swanky offers riders three different ways to get hold of bikes, components and accessories. You can buy outright, get the bike on two-year 0% finance (on items from £150), or go for a two-year lease.
To try out the bikes and wheels, you need to contact Bike Swanky on 020 8133 6432 or use the contact page on www.bikeswanky.co.uk.
