We are selling our 2010 ex-hire bikes. The Merida Matts 40D has been the backbone of our fleet this year and we've been delighted. At full retail price the spec is absolutely superb value for money, and at our ex-hire prices they're a steal! These bikes are in excellent condition - we recommend you come and see one, try it out, and ride it before you commit, but if you want one delivered we can send pictures of the specific bike you'll be getting before we despatch it.

They've been well looked after by our customers and carefully maintained by our skilled mechanic, and are less than 9 months old. As hire bikes they've not had a lot of use, and have been cleaned and serviced after every ride. Before being sold, any parts which need replacement will have been changed.

As second-hand bikes you must expect the odd mark and scratch, and of course they won't appear new, but these will be a fantastic buy and will give many years' service.

RRP of the 2010 bikes was £459. The 2011 model is £579. Our price ex-hire is only £325.

We recommend collection so we can set the bike up specifically for you, but can dispatch by courier for £30 if required - some minor set-up will be needed when you unpack the bike - we will provide instructions.
