This bike only comes in 18" and 20" sizes.
18"
Thank you.
Or Cycle Republic have the same bike and you can get an extra £10 off for being a new customer. It also added extra discount without any codes for some reason.
Code doesnt work
But try it first - may still be too big if you don't have long legs!
I got one with discs for this price from Halfords last year.
Only rode it for 6 miles - LOL
that code dnt woek
I disagree, if the V brakes are good they are more than adequate for doing a lot more than flat trails. Having tried disc brakes, I found to my surprise that I preferred my Shimano Deore V brakes.
Good point, Halfords bike height and inside leg chart is really useful; I need 16'' to 17'' bike:

Found the code here - hotukdeals.com/vou…com
Many thanks ilc14 - unfortunately can only get it to work on women's bike, not mens. Appreciate your message though
did it break ? or get fit at that price didn't work ?
V brakes are fine if properly adjusted and have plenty of stopping power. Please do not let this put you off!
thanks, I asked in the online chat and was told the discount would be applied. However, the email I received doesn't show the discount applied. is it the same for you?
Doing the tweed valley enduro this weekend will keep an eye out for v brakes.
The main advantage of discs is that they still work when the rims are covered in mud. Disadvantages are extra weight and need for stronger forks (because the braking force is at the end, not the top). Probably all academic when discs are 'in' so suddenly no one wants old fashioned Vee Brakes!
Ignore Halfords' laughable RRPs but at these prices these OK bikes are good value. Don't even think about Halfords' lower ranges though, eg Apollo!
13kg isn't too bad for a cheap bike but those 1.95 wide tyres will add some drag on-road: budget for some narrower ones if you're really going to use the bike largely on-road.

The code works for this bike so it's £195 or £10 more
To me, it looks the better deal but I don't know much about bikes.... the main diff I can see is a front suspension, Aluminium vs Alloy and 1kg heavier, have I missed anything?
what do people think?
I'll be using it for recreation cycling around tow paths, parks and docks and may be the occasional commute of about 15mins
Suspension forks will be hindrance for that type of cycling. Aluminium/alloy tend to be interchangeable terms in the bike world. If you find you are mostly on hard surfaces you may want to consider some narrower tyres for easier pedaling. From what you've said I'd say go for the Parva, especially if you can get it for £165.
Keep an eye out for carrera's at enduro meets too! it's not aimed at that kind of rider, it's aimed at someone who'll ride canal tow paths and some bridal paths. And for that it's perfectly fine!
Hi... I put order through online and they phoned the store to let them know to give me 10% discount
Thanks for the info, just went to the shop and placed the order... Some more info for others thinking about buying:
*The offer ends today
*Even though specs look the same the guy in the shop told me that don't use as good components for the Crossfire1 hence why the price is similar to the Parva, The suspension for it cheaper than other models(crossfile3 costing 400!) and that it can break more easily. Were as the para is built stronger so less likely to go wrong
*I got the Parva for 165.6 as they were able apply the code instore.
Got your hoptown sorted yet? Also how many bikes do you own. I'm wondering if I can compete with you on number?
6 bikes lol, Did I tell you I got a shimano bottom bracket for £2 from halfords. Not sorted out the clicking freewheel just yet, may way till it needs changing anyway, kind of got used to the noise now. I had reserved A parva at £165 in green, thought it was cheaper than buying parts later on, a back 27.5 wheel alone is over £50. But thought better of it and will now just work with what I have. Plan now is not to buy any more bikes or parts and to run each bike and as they start to fail eventually strip them to keep the next one going and so on, I'm sure between 6 bikes I have enough to last me the next 30 years all being well.
I'm not convinced you won't be tempted by another bargain bike within the next 30 years!
Thanks
