Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Whyte Friston Road Bike

Season:2022

Brand:Whyte

Code:FRISTON

“The Friston’s long and low front end delivers handling that stays straight while others trip up when they take a hit”
“Buy if… You want a gravel bike that’s fun, versatile and will push to the limits of mountain biking”
5/5 Cycling Plus - December 2021

According to Cycling Plus magazine the latest Friston is perfect if “you want a gravel bike that’s fun, versatile and will push to the limits of mountain biking” and we couldn’t have put our objectives better. That’s why we gave it MTB influenced long reach, short stem wide bar, slack head angle Total Geometry for masses of trail confidence. We even fitted a dropper post as standard so you can throw shapes on the singletrack and tackle the serious steeps the upsized disc brakes allow.

Wide range single ring gearing makes loaded climbing easy and the alloy frame and carbon fork have mounts to take a full set of bike packing gear, because a bike this enjoyable should be ridden as far and often as possible.
