AHHHH - that's the only fly in the ointment...
How can the company stay in existence ?
I've had dozens , if not more ICE bikes because -
They wear out -
I wanted a different size -
Mine became obsolete -
.....None of this is relevant with E
Soooo after everyone has one, how's the viking getting any more money???
Let's be realistic, many of us in the vet classes buy bikes because they are the new model, not because our bike is worn out.
Mini parents buy multiple new bikes a season if they are into racing because the kids put a TON of hours on a bike and wear them out. Top ends and cranks aren't the only thing that wears out. Frames stretch and handle different by 100 hours, levers feel funny, vibrate and squeak, wheels get all banged up and bearings every where go bad.
There is nothing like a good fresshie every year for the boy and once every few years for me. Austin will have had 3 bikes this year and put about 200 hours of seat time in.
That's how they continue to sell bikes and make money.
