Nevertheless they were miles cheaper for Hope Hoops than anyone else so I took the plunge. They showed out of stock but I ordered anyways. They told me when they expected them and they also told me when they actually got and dispatched them. Total of about 5 days to get to the North of Scotland. Excellent service I think.<br /> I also bought my son&#39;s BMX there at Christmas. They were the only place showing stock on the 2010 model. We phoned and they definitely confirmed it was the right model. A quick google showed horror stories of bikes supposedly in stock not arriving for months. A look at the boys face and and I thought sod it, if it doessn&#39;t arrive on time I&#39;ve got nothing to lose, I&#39;ll just get it somewhere else and cancel order. It arrived 2 days later and was indeed the correct model. Nothing but praise for them so far then! </p>
