Good Deal Alert Thread

[vkalia]

^^ Of course that is a fake. When a deal looks too good to be true, it usually is. The link to a ridiculous website (export bureau.com), the contact page with no phone number or physical address, etc. should be additional clues.

Could not chose the frame size! which was kind of a giveaway.

[abhi]

Is this another fraud - http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ... -bike.html ?

Please do not make this a fraud list. This is meant to be a good deals list.

Will try and validate next time but with so many sites sometimes it is difficult to know which site is a fraud!

just received a mail from Wiggle. Raleigh Avanti Carbon Comp 2010 for 833.33 GBP. Bikeradar reviews for the 2009 Race version are good and as this one seems to have the same frame i'm assuming its a good deal at about 60000 INR for a full 105 group

Dang that's a pretty facking good deal!

I'd be wary of a CF demo bike.

[vkalia]

Doc, just buy the BMC Pro that CC has on sale and be done with it

SOMEBODY better buy that frame - my bike budget has just been allocated to a "replacement 7D + 10-17" fund, else I'd get it on general principle. It is too good a deal to pass up.

With ref to your DM post which I quote:

Bike looks great and rides great, no doubt. But you DO need a carbon (or Ti) bike. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. You just need to accept it, that's all.

I have accepted it.

I don't 'need' any more bike, but I certainly 'want' one. However, not worth the jumping thru hoops to order, ship and pay duties. I'll get one when I go to the US next. Easy and painless.

[sumitpal]

Get a CF bike, Dr.D. In very simple, subtle ways it makes riding much more pleasurable. I doubt if CF makes one faster, however the ride is surely comfortable.

[deepakvrao]

Aaaaargh, I should get out of here before it's too late

[vkalia]

Sumit sir, you arent allowed to post on BZ until you post some pron. Secret schwag and all.

@Deepak - want, need. It is all the same. True bliss lies in realizing that your wants are your true needs.

Looks too good so not sure if this is another fake! Waiting for inputs...

[vkalia]

Bikesdirect - generic Chinese frames with good drivetrain components and generally, mediocre finishing kit (seatpost, handlebars, stems, wheels). And they dont ship to India. And these are their regular prices.

[deepakvrao]

Their titanium and Kestrel bikes reputedly have good frames. Great prices though there.

Ultegra cranks for 179+35 shipping.

BMC Bikes are on sale at CRC.

Anyone looking for a cheap TT bike:

The geometry looks kick-ass for TTs. Not UCI-legal, but probably may end putting you in a more aero position than even a P3
