What company is it? Don't recognise the bike name - tax and VAT will need to be added assuming you are in the UK.

unless I'm missing something, their website makes no mention of offering any bikes for sale..?
it's always nice to get an email signed 'the management'......really personalises things...

Same here - I was wondering if the post was a sham to get an advert on here without it getting removed!

Have you edited the address in any way? It certainly looks very iffy if you haven't. I'd be very wary of any website that doesn't even show you a picture of a bike. Plus they're talking about 3 wheel advertising bikes. Are you sure you're not paying that money to become a franchisee? I'd stay well away IMHO.

Exactly - even if they are importing then surely they will convert the price to £ for UK sales?
