Henrat Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hi, without trying to sound stupid.... Is Tarty Bikes just an online shop or can you actually go there to have a browse and try bikes out? If so I shalll go tomorrow! Cheers Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai the Socket Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) I believe it's just a warehouse with Dave inside :D Give him a ring and ask whether you can have a look at some of the products, if there's anything you specifically want a look at. I know they're definately not a 'proper' shop, like Aire Valley Cycles or anything. That's because they're mail order, and that's why they can afford to undercut some / most 'proper' shops. They don't pay as much on lighting, extra staff, heating etc (Y) Nick. edit: Danny you b*****d. :D Edited July 25, 2005 by mod661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrat Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Thats great cheers! I was hoping to have a little test ride of one or two though so maybe that is not the place to go.... I'll give him a ring anyway and see then. Thanks again. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give him a ring anyway and see then. Thanks again. (Y) ← If i'm right in thinking, they would build a bike as when its needed, and not keep built up bikes, incase a part is needed of it, or such like. There for, going for a test ride is worthless, as there won't be anything to ride. Obviously, i'm only assuming on common sense, but they might be different, so give them a ring by all means, but just so you know. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 The nature of trials makes it almost impossible to offer 'test' bikes (in the proper sense of the word anyway, not just a 'lets hop on the back wheel for a bit'). Anyway, full build Onza bikes are often in stock, and I'm sure Dave would be available to show you parts if a convenient time was arranged. Hope that helps, Adam PS: Dave is available for £3.99 with free postage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Sorry, living creatures are specifically excluded by the PO. (except Bees, silkworms, leeches and certain parasites). I suppose Dave might scrape through on the parasite section but they would probably still nail him under Filth, foul or disgusting material, heading. So it looks like he's collection only.

Inspired Dave Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Tut, stop making me out to be a filthy cheap sorta person. I may be filth, but filth of this quality doesnt come cheap lads! If you're gonna do it proper it should at least be an auction style, then I can find out who my true admirers are (and more importantly the ones with big wedges of cash to offer in return for services rendered)! As for you mike, it takes filth to know filth (Y). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point still stands for them though. :D Bleh, everyone asking for a t-shirt or a female counterpart, i will just have Dave on his own thanks.

James_Porter Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 dave you are a piece of meat, everyone wants to poke you with thier love wands. do echos full bikes and that come like the bikes to at halfords in one of them boxes and you just have to put the bars on/set the brakes up?

Luke Drewery Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 My mate was planning to go to hull to buy a toxsin from tartybikes, but i was pretty certain it was only mail order so i put him straight. Most bikes come flatpacked in a box, i have a saturday job at a bike shop and practically all i do all day is build up bikes from boxes ( (Y) ), it makes doing repairs a pleasure :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 prettey sure they have complete bikes... they have the whole onza range dont they? ← Yeha but they won't be built up silly... What would be the point of having a warehouse full of built up bikes that nobody will see? THEN when an order comes through having to dismantle the bike to put it back in the box!! Silly Billy.

Sam Nichols Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Well I'm sure they do that too.
