the last CRC private sale cost me £1400 so I'm steering clear...
Well I got one too, so I hope my Paypal account does not get hijacked. Should have bought a couple, they are going on ebay for much more.
Vinnyc Hope we just get a bargain and no more.
What criteria is there to get an invite to a CRC private sale ?

youre names down and youre coming in.
Only showing the 500 with HRM and cadence bundle on mine for £179 so assuming they have sold out.
Hmm I surely don't spend that much with CRC and I can log in to the sale. What does it achieve for CRC limiting numbers of potential customers like this?
I seem to get invites to all their sales, I can't remember the last time I spent anything with them.
If your not bothered about heart rate and cadence you can get the 200 on Amazon for £88.
They are still in stock, just ordered one . I think I have spent enough with crc to justify being included in there mailing list 🙂
I started a post a week or so ago asking what the garmin edge 200 is like and now understand there a few other differences not just the cadence and heart monitor.
It is at least 3 years since i bought something from CRC. I got an invite.

they get around manufacturers embargoes on suppliers discounting their product (in the same way Trek try to protect the brand and prevent widescale discounting by banning mail order sales of bikes, so retailers with web and bricks and mortar advertise on web but only for in-store collection)?
