MSRP on bike
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
hello,
this pandemic has really hit the cycling industry hard and its hard to find anything right now. i finally can get my hands on a frameset but they are selling to me at market price. its a 2022 model but i'm not sure if its normal "pre pandemic" to have a discount. if so, i guess it would be unnatural to request one for one? anybody have experience in this and would this be rude to bring up?
thank you

If you have a good relationship with your shop, it never hurts to ask nicely.
If you sell umbrellas and it's raining outside... Would you change the price from 10usd to 15usd?
Frames are pretty expensive so try to ask. It's your money.
The time when you could get nice price on stock bikes are gone... For now.
Also. Ask other shops if you want to save a few quid . For once in cycling it's sellers market, but I still see alot of expensive gravel and road bikes in stock. Not everyone pays 5k for a bike.
It's pretty early for 2022 during pandemic.
What frame did you buy?:D

hello, yes i tried but got one a few hundred off, better than nothing. im on waiting list still but they put in order for me. i will get wilier jena gravel bike. i want to build one myself, the components are scarce and hard to find too. so parts will trickle down to my home when they are in stock again, oct. or november...such a bad time to get anything. i've had my caad9 since 2010 and wanted to try a carbon/ 'do it all' bike. more endurance and off road options as well but decent on road. so i'll be ok for another 10 years or more lol.niklasp wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 6:15 amIf you sell umbrellas and it's raining outside...
