Im after a semi decent bike for work but rather than buy a cheap up to dat model i'd rather spend the same money on something of better quality which is from old stock. However, what happens to all the bikes left over each year? Alot of companies sell bikes from 2009 and 2008, but what about bikes from earlier? Are they sent back to the manufacturer and recycled or are there bike shops out there that specialise in discontinued stock? Any help would be appreciated!
