lapierre xr 729 29er in medium with electronic rear shock, weight 11kg; this is 2014 model having covered 330 miles at £2400 negotiable with full warranty – rrp is £4249, fantastic reviews; if i could justify another bike, i would buy this and wouldn’t be telling you about it.
if you can’t find it on that well known online auction site, ask me and i’ll tell you where to find it.
PS – i have no connection with the dealer; i’m just telling you that there are great deals out there and this one – to me – is the best deal i’ve ever seen.
First off, it’s a carbon Lapierre. So it’ll snap. Or the bushings/bearing will wear out and wear into the frame, before it snaps. Then it’s E:i so it’ll shear gear teeth off the servo, or the battery will pack up. And at that point you’ll find that Fishers don’t warranty oem EI parts on bikes, only after market parts. And then you’ll find out that Hotlines don’t stock any either so they’ll have to send a letter via carrier sloth to France to beg Lapierre to send them one.
Then it’s most likely got Easton wheels, so after about 300 miles of use the freehub will pack in and you’ll not be able to find one, anywhere, except mail order from the states and it’ll £100. And that’ll be unwarrantable too since easton don’t “do” warranty. And are pretty much in distributor limbo hell.
Still looking like the best deal you’ve ever seen?
