i know it sounds random but year on year trek and giant have around 40% off the last years bikes?
surely if they always have a surplus at the end of the year they would just make less??!!
not slating them just looking for a full sus and both trek and giant are up the top of my list!

    I bought my Giant whilst it was still current at almost 30% off list.
    Can only presume it is down to over production.Still their loss our gain!

    There are some fantastic deals around at the moment.The Trek Fuel EX8 looks very tempting,at a sale price of £1200.

    I think now it's done as much because that's what people expect as for any other reason.

    I have found the 07 trek top fuel 8 for £1099 which is like £500 off list.....pretty sure that as much as anything will make it my next bike. Shame the hardtails like the Trek 8500 dont see such a discount as everywhere still seems to have that up as £1400 list.

    Be assured, they are good bikes. My reign rides better than some costing twice as much. Take advantage of any discounts - it's just a case of over supply.
