Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control. As a result your order may be cancelled without prior notice if a solution cannot be found in good time. When this happens we will endevour to issue you a full refund as quickly as possible. Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.

2016 Whyte 605 650B Apple Cross Country Mountain Bike

Season:2017

Brand:Whyte

Code:6052016

The X-6 series in Whyte's entry point 650b mountain bike range. Based on the popular X8 frameset it features Whyte's award winning geometry as found on all their XC hardtails. The custom tubing is drawn to their own specifications and then profiled, butted and shaped to give what Whyte consider to be the perfect ride feel.

These frames are filled with UK design features, such as extra mud clearence for all-weather useability, forward facing seat slot to keep rear wheel spray out of the frame, continuous outer cables for improved life and crud-catcher mounts on the downtube to keep the grit out of your teeth.

For 2016 the 605 has been upgraded. It now comes with Shimano's new M3000 Acera groupset with a new ratio chainset.

 PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR WHYTE RANGE IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION IN-STORE OR LOCAL PERSONAL DELIVERY

When choosing a hardtail mountian bike you first need to consider a few things. Firstly what is your budget and secondly what kind of terrain you want to ride on. 

Budget: We offer mountain bikes from £400 upwards. Yes you can buy Mountains Bikes for less but in most cases we don't believe they are fit for purpose especially for areas such as Cannock Chase. We would always recommend that at least you choose a bike with hydraulic brakes and a reasonable 100mm suspension fork. Below this price point we find most bikes have insufficient quality brakes and poor quality forks that wear very quickly developing play in the bushes on the fork within no time. 

Trail: In general there are 3 different frame designs that manufactures use. These are leisure / trail and XC. The frames differ in  design to suit these areas of the sport. Such as a leisure frame will offer a more upright position against an XC design which will be lower at the front end and offer a more aggressive ride.
