Does anyone know a good site to buy a mountain bike (like a Trek) online? Earl's Bikes can sell you a bike online BUT, you have to GO THERE to pick it up... And they sell at MSRP..? Why then would you buy it on the internet when you can get it and go home in an instant from your local dealer..? Most of your reputable and industry leading manufacturers have STRICT policies against selling their products online. You don't get to be industry leader if you let internet sales decrease your product value - and it does... Bob Burns of Trek Bikes talks about the rampant internet fraud here... http://www2.trekbikes.com/assets/asset_u... Some manufacturers such as Trek, Specialized, Electra, Breezer, and Felt, to name a few, WILL NOT HONOR ANY WARRANTY if you buy their product on the web. It has to do with brand integrity. They school me all the time, hands-on and online tech, to keep me as up to date as possible on the most cutting edge technology used on their bikes. I can return this to the customer and make them happy because their bike works the best it can when it leaves the store. Anyone selling NEW Trek, Gary Fisher, Lemond, Klien, and Bontrager online get reported to Trek's Efraud division, and that stuff is most ofter taken down off the web. Sounds like you want some kind of a nice bike. Your experience at your local shop no matter had bad will be better than that of an internet only sales company who will make you wait and wait for a resolution to your problem. Get something new with a warranty from a SHOP. Trek family products are the best in the industry - 21 years exp tells me this! Lifetime frame, two / three year drivetrain, and the new Bontrager warranty is 5 years on wheels and such! That's incredible - why would you want to short change that..? Trek is Family owned and operated - Everyone wonders why a LOT of people like the brand - they answer straight to the consumer. Not, a financial officer! For the same reason, some choose to really show their jealousy and dislike the brand as well! 7 TDF wins and now(for 2006) they are the MOST WINNINGEST North American Mountain bike team... Their designs are the best and THIS POINT shows it - You are not wrong by wanting a Trek! Source(s): Bike Shop Manager - Top100 National and Tennesee's Largest Trek Dealer Earls Cyclery fitness in Vermont features Trek, Kona, Bianchi and others at reduced prices. Go to the web site at: www.earlsbikes.com. I googled trek bicycle and got a lot of different sites for Trek stores, by state. If you want used, Ebay or Craig's list would be helpful. I'm selling a mountain bike and it's better than a Trek , it's a gary fisher moutain bike and it has execellent braking and speed fixtures. Even if Trek had a purchase option on-line, you'd probably be better off using the dealer locator feature on the Trek website. That way, you can get the proper fit at the dealer, and usually most bike shops offer a free 30 day tune up. Plus shipping costs for a bike will run you about 50 bucks or more. |
