It doesn't look like they have a good cross section of bike models.
I didn't realize they were putting drop bars (with either brifters or bar ends) on the NWT.
They have 4 Pakit models, all 55cm, and I believe all with the same gearing. Slight color variations, but all in dark paint too.
Their one Pocket Rocket falls under "preloved/used", and may well be 20 years old.
There isn't a haul-a-day on the page, and their only tandem is a rather odd handcycle.
This appears to me as if they are just putting excess stock and cancelled orders up on the preloved page without a real plan to cover a cross section of desirable models. There is a small showroom here in Eugene, and I would imagine they occasionally rotate out showroom stock. I don't know if showroom bikes are actually for sale.
I wouldn't expect a real cross section of models. Medium pakiTs make sense - with stem changes they fit a majority of people. But we will have to see how this plays out. This is an unusual year due to the pandemic, so future results could vary.
