Hi,
I'm considering buying a Giant road bike and just wondering if it's worth the wait until Xmas, do they usually have any discounts around that time and what they might be: 10-20% off?
I looked at last year's models but they're all pretty much sold out.
thanks
Giant Xmas Sales?

That's the crux of it. The bicycle industry (incl. Giant Bicycles) has a penchance for releasing many of the next year's models well before the end of the calendar year and often in the first quarter of any given finacial year.Cadel wrote:I looked at last year's models but they're all pretty much sold out.
Christmas to me is not the time to be hanging out for a genuine new bicycle purchase discount. I'd be looking hard(er) right now for a bargain........
3rd class cycling is always better than 1st class walking

Typically the 20% off 'Factory Backed Sale' is February.
Some shops will give 10% if pushed on a 2013 model.
