Cigtech,

The key question is still: If you resell a bike to someone else, will it be covered by the international warranty?

This is not answered in your corresondance. It states if you buy.

It also doesn't deal with what approach trek would take to a business model of reselling from other than standard distribution channels. And I would not be surprised if they don't have people who look for this stuff. Legally part of defending/maintaining a brand is having an active program to do so.

Please note: my take is not to be dismissive of you ideas but to identify some practial issues that you would have to solve if your plan was to be succesful.

In the same vein, selling bikes as a business would probably require an incorporation or LLC, liability insurance etc to protect you personally
