Well with winter around the corner its time to start looking at those cold rainy days and making sure we are all prepared for them.
In an earlier mail I mentioned the new look Hine L'Etape Sport frame for 2016. The frame is a new Columbus Zonal model but with flat welds so no viasable joins (all nice and smooth) and now mimmicks the design style of our top of the range carbon FL760 model. Its a really great shape and looks super posh. The frame comes with matching carbon fork and both are painted in a nice grey/white finish with dark grey decals/graphics.
Of course they are going to be great value but I am looking for just 2 club members for an extra special deal I am going to offer. I want those 2 riders to be the voice of our new look L'Etape Sport in and around club circles.
In exchange they will get the best spec possible for little money.
I was thinking something like the new full Shimano 105 5800 11 speed full groupset with matching Shimano RS010 new 11 speed wheels. I'm thinking the new Deda RS range of bar, stem and seatpost all matching and Vittoria tyres. Complete with mudguards as both frame and fork are fitted with proper eyes and clearances.
I am even willing to look at a part ex with whichever 2 club riders want to chat about this offer and you could end up paying peanuts for this new bike.
The 2 members who get this bike will have the best value ever possible and in return I would like them to be our flagbearers for this new model within the club.
If you are thinking of a new winter bike or even year-round bike with mudguards you really don't want to pass this up.
Of course we will include a free measure up on our fully articulated jig to build the bike spot on to your own requirements re size and even gearing.
The normal club offer on the above spec will be £749.95 (before part ex) so great value anyway and I can even do £249.95 deposit with 5 months at £100. But that's the std club deal - I want 2 of you who want to help me push this new model and I will cut every price possible for you.
Delivery on these new models is mid-late October.
Any enquiries you have my mobile number or drop me a line here on the club site.
Thanks for listening

Jim, I would be quite happy for you to have one
You get on with most folk at the club and you are always out riding.
If you genuinely are interested I have no problem in sorting something out for you
Jim

Jim
Have a guess Jim. 🙂
I don't get ya...................?
You the first one on to reply so?
Jim
I have got a few on the go now for prospective deals but one a certainty.
Jim, are you going in the pot?
I don't know what you want?
Jim
No thanks Jim.
Fair enough - no worries
You are a very confusing man Mr Duffy
Jim
If you hadn't already guessed Jim, I was just playing with you 😉
Ah I see.................
I'm not really one for playing when it comes to business or money............
