Triathlon Time Bike
When is a good time to buy a bicycle from a bike shop?
My husband is interested in purchasing a new bicycle as he is getting into triathlons. I am also interested in purchasing a bike, more for recreational riding but also with the possibility of training for a race of some sort (although most likely not a triathlon). When is a good time of year to buy bicycles from a bike shop (i.e., when do they try to get rid of the end of year models)?
It's going to depend on the type of bike you want, where you live and what kinds of deals the store can get. I bought a 2005 model in 2007 that the shop bought when the manufacturer cleared out a warehouse.
The summer bike season is almost if not already over. The Trek store around here is now starting to get in the 2008 bikes, though I have seen no discounting on the older models. One of the local bike shops around here has multiple older-year models in its storage facility. The best thing to do is go to your local bike shop and ask what they've got and how much they would take for it. If they quote the MSRP, go somewhere else.
