[Closed] A plea to all Trek dealers

Hi Everyone...as some of you may have seen from a post a few weeks back, I'm just back from a tour of Afghan. Whilst over there I set my little heart on a Trek 8500...only to arrive back in the UK to discover that they're all sold out. I spent yesterday phoning all the local bike shops, then the not so local bike shops...and I still can't get one...

So please...if anyone, anywhere, has a 21" Trek 8500 please let me know. Many thanks.

I thought most Trek dealers have a B2B site they can use to track one down for you?
Gaz @ Alf Jones in Wrexham worked his magic and got my Remady 8 in the next day ๐Ÿ˜€

Just bear in mind that a Trek dealer won't mail order it to you... you'll have to go to the shop to collect.

You could always try posting a Wanted ad on Bikeradar, XCRacer.com etc. as well?

Did you read my post r-i-d?

Your local Trek dealer should be able to tell you if any are available in your size and get it in, no travelling required.

The trek dealer site only tells a dealer if there are any left at trek, not where all the ones trek had have gone to. Good luck.

2011 ones are probably not far away by now.
