Quintana Roo, why do you torment me so?

Just finished reading Dan’s review of the Tiphoon, so for kicks, decided to go to QR’s website to see some more pics of this very cool bike and what do I get hit with…

"1000 reasons to own your dream ride.

You have envisioned riding a Quintana Roo for years. It is now time to make those dreams a reality, and right now we’re giving you 1,000 great reasons to get moving. For a limited time you can save $1,000.00 off the purchase of the Quintana Roo Tiphoon."

I don’t need a new bike but it is on sale so I’m really saving a grand.

I hate QR for making me resort to my wife’s logic.

But you’ll love them for building you such a nice bike.

If they’d only offer $1000 off the Lucero, I KNOW I cold talk my wife into it. I’ve been badgering her every day for last 6 months about how I NEED a new Lucero.

I was at the LBS and learned of the offer…darn near ordered one on the spot. Bought a Pisgah instead. Go figure.

I then said “For $2850, why would anybody buy the Lucero?”

He said, “I agree…but most folks say the opposite”

Funny how the carbon craze has effected bike sales…

the Lucero is actually $2450. and it’s a really nice bike

The opposite would be something like…

“Why would anyone buy the TiPhoon when the Lucero is $2150?”

7

for me it’s simple…on the tiphoon, I couldn’t get low enough unless I went to 650.
the short headtube of the lucero works fine.

so there are reason besides the price. But I admit that when travelling, I felt a lot better with the tiphoon…

Hey the deal applies to Litespeed as well. I am ordering a new road bike (hopefully) this week. I think it will feel good to buy an American made bike at a good price.
