I seem to be chasing my self around in circles at the moment trying to get my hands on a 2012 lapierre zesty 314, does anybody know of anyone that has stock of them, in particular a large?

i have called numerous bike shops and none seem to have any in stock, the closest i have got is a bike shop have one large lapierre x-flow 412 in stock that they have put aside until Saturday for me. otherwise i will have to wait until the end of may and i don’t really want to do that.

can anyone suggest a good alternative?

YT Wicked? Basically a Zesty but better value and 10mm more travel.

Boneshakers in Harrogate usually have a pretty big stock level, give them a ring? No idea if they do mail order though.

Transition covert (2 mates have them and rate them)
Devinci Dixon (got one and it’s superb)

sorry i failed to mention that i need some thing i can get on finance, does any body have any experience of the x-flow?

+1 for Transition Covert and these people do them, they had a thread on here a while back.

Nirvana Cycles certainly did have one in a medium (514 in window now). Also have Covert and Tracer 2 frames.

Not sure if it’s a 314 or not but saw a zesty in the bicycle doctors window yesterday in Porth s.Wales.
Black & green ??? V nice
I can recommend them as it’s my lbs & I got my zesty off them in 2010

the black and green model is the 514 and is a tad to dear for me but cheers anyway.

I bought a 314 off them, then ended up selling it and getting a 514 instead of upgrading 🙂

I don’t think bike doctor offer finance

(28 day delivery)
or they have a 514 available now, and offer up to 36 months interest free credit.

I don’t work for them and didn’t buy from them in the end, but they were great and helpful on the phone numerous times when i was close to buying a 514/714, and offered me a great deal on a 914 too…..

Do try to negotiate down from full retail though 🙂

Il give them a bell tomorrow
Cheers

Try hotlines direct, I had the same trouble back in 2010. Managed to track down a 514 at nirvana cycles in dorking.

Tommy19 yup can have my 2011 zesty for 1850-only 4 month old!,,,
Better colours than the 2012!

Worcester Cycle Centre had a Zesty 314 in stock the other day, and my friend bought one from there only a couple of weeks ago.

@adam82 thanks for the offer but I doubt you offer finance 😆

I will probably end up getting the x-flow as from what I have read it will probably be more suited to my riding and I can get the price down a bit s the bike shop will price match, has anyone got one or at lest tried one?

Absolutely no use to the OP, but i’ve had my 2012 714 since Dec…….

BTW, it’s terrific 😉

Bikeactive had a 50cm Zesty 314 in stock.

Are you sure job nob?

Well – this was Tuesday, but yes, they did indeed.

Bicycle docs do finance

Well the Zesty 314 has been sold out at Hotlines since January.
there are some still arriving which were ordered pre-season, but thats it.
We’re still waiting for our large which was ordered pre-season.

I think May is the next/last delivery.

… Not just me having problems finding a bike. I’m finding similar supply issues with Trek, Spesh too name but two.

bumped into a lad on a 514 on sunday, he was after a 314 but couldnt get one for love or money, so a local shop did him a belting deal on a 514 instead

the pic above is a powerful reminder about the scourge of mudguards on nice bikes, by the way.

it is indeed a minging bike that.

goppingly ugly im afraid.

trying to be stealth in the black/black guise, but then too many red bits

and those guards? oof.

It might be worth seeing if Infinity Cycles in Durham have any left as they’ve started selling them this year.

Also try Red Ape in Bishop Auckland. Gavin’s switched to selling Mondraker and did have some Lapierres still in stock, not sure what though.

Hi Folks,

Martin from Hotlines here.

Sorry some of you have had a hard time getting hold of Zesty 314’s. It’s been phenomenally succesful this year hence the short supply from our first drop! There are still a few out there at dealers. I did a demo with Psyclewerx in Bristol last weekend and they still had a 46CM 314 in stock.

We have a small drop of 314’s due in the middle of March and then a larger drop at the end of May. There will be bikes available, I’d recomemnd pre-ordering with your local dealer to make sure you get hold of one. They will arrive, there is real stock and thanks for your patience!

A 514 medium frame has just popped up on eBay. Very nice condition.

Well I have tonight purchased an orange gyro so the search is over thanks for all your help chaps but nowhere had any zestys in stock and I had a good deal on the gyro so went down that route.

+1 for welovemountains got a 2012 zesty 314 last week in stock picked it up next day 50% deposit 3 years finance and good service

When I contacted them this week they had none left :(, ut as ir said I have the gyro now and I’m well chuffed

Don’t buy one from WeloveLapierre, they are a bunch of monkeys.

Surely they should be called “WeLoveBananas” then ????

I think they should be called WeLoveTakingYourMoneyAndNotMuchElse
