Those are used. I'm still confused about the "new" bikes having the certified used stickers. The e-mail says "brand new bikes" when referring to the six day sale. They also added 3T this morning.

Maybe they are “brand new” used bikes.

Every time I've looked at listings on the Pros Closet, the prices seem rather high compared to new pricing. Am I wrong?
For example, a 2021 Emonda SL6 retails for $3,300. Since stock is going up at the stores (at least around here to some degree) I would imagine you could shave that a bit. Pros Closet advertises a 2018 model for $2,800 and a 2016 model will set you back $2,650. I can't imagine anyone wanting to save a measly $500 and getting a 3 year old bike.
Don't get me wrong - $500 is nice to have in your pocket, but I would think anyone spending that kind of money would find a way to get the newest and greatest when the delta is that small.

Put me in the camp of preferring to buy new and be able to touch and feel.

If I had to venture a guess, they can’t sell them as “new” since they aren’t a certified retailer of that brand.

I think it would just depend on what it was for me. A used moots I would consider becuase I doubt I’ll ever be able to budget at 8000 dollar bike.

The "new" stuff they have listed seems to be odd sizes. I wonder if they bought up some overstock.

Of course, but the attraction of buying used is directly related to the discount compared to new. If you had the means to spend $7200 on a used Moots, would you try to reach for the new for only $800 more? I would.

Or office park.
Where would a 20 mile course be hard to put together? You do 10 miles and then turn around. Or do 20 miles at the office park and stop.

My wife wanted to ride her single bike today but I made her ride our tandem so she couldn't drop me. I'm serious.

Weight Weenie freewheel for £25. Tempting even with the mangled tool notches. Lighter than 11sp DA, 5 fewer cogs though
