This is not an advertisement (I have no business - yet) but rather market research of a sort.
Would you lease a tri-bike if you could, rather than purchase outright? Why or why not? What if you could pick it up from your LBS and get your initial fitting, etc. as part of the deal?
Separate question: Would you purchase (at significant discount, say 50% of initial retail) a used, 1 year old lease bike? Why or why not? What if it was reconditioned with new chain, tires, etc.?
As an avid triathlete for almost 20 years and a cyclist for over 30, I have loved each and every one of my new bikes over the years. But call me fickle, I always want something new after a few years.
Thoughts?
