Halfords *claim* to be willing to source anything you want...
And actually some of their bikes are half decent - have you had a look at the Boardman brand?
I also work for Royal Mail, I was disapointed with the tie in to Halfords not because of the choise issue but because I like to support my local bike shop and not a large chain. The service I get from any of our local shops is 10 times that I am ever likley to get from Halfords!
My second gripe is with the Royal Mail scheme! They have a mizerly £500 limit and you are also banned from putting any money towards the purchase of a more expensive bike.
It would seem that not all schemes are equal, some get to enjoy riding the long way home more than others.
My view is, Tax saving schemes are a great idea but I will not be participating!
