Yew bizzy? Gat bikez? P&A?

Pretty much a crap shoot on all of it. Had a few Ripley AF's ship out to us this week and have some stock but it's all pretty much still feast or famine.

Transition are so sound! They did a UK visit a week ago, really nice guys and a tight nit company from the sounds of it. They are super easy to deal with all the time. Couldn't ask for much more out the bikes either!

Their EP program is pretty light though isnt it? Not too deep of a deal, and their margins are super thin already.

Love Transition as a brand and their bikes though. Maybe I'll look into it.

Definitely more than that, although I believe they have different price scales for those who work at dealers and those who just work in the industry. But I shouldn't post exact numbers

Yea, we have a dealer account setup, but havent started stocking them yet. They are obviously, for good reasons, prioritizing all previous stocking dealers for bike allocations before sending to new dealers.

It's considered very poor manners to give details for EP. In fact, in your EP contract you signed you agreed to never talk about it.

Be a bit careful yeah?

Transition are the boys. Not only did I get a nice deal on my sentinel, it's also honestly the best bike I've ever owned. It's about time I moved it on in order to stay on the fresh bike gravy train, but I just can't bring myself to part with the thing, it's too bloody good.

Best part about Transition is the answering machine. Those dudes are dang silly.

Transition's bikes are far more expensive than the other brands we carry, and more than most brands I've carried in the past at other jobs, and they're worth every penny. On my third one. Whenever I'm lured in to a lesser brand by better pricing I end up going right back to transition. They just click with me.
If they still made a good steel hardtail my stable would probably be all Transitions.
