New bike sales are nuts. The number of $400-$500 bikes we're selling is way past where we were at this time last year (think stimulus check money). We're also booked two weeks out on service.
And you still can't sell a decent quality C&V bike in this city unless it's priced half of what it would be in the for sale forum here.
