Did you just ask if they would?

Final price at check out included free shipping.
Didn’t need to ask.
Not sure if there’s a minimum price threshold.

Unless you are TPC of course. They offered me 1700.00 for my ridden twice Helix Pro I turned down $3k for locally.. I was after something TPC had/trade in, but not even close to close on a Lynskey. I expected a low 2300-2500, but the carbon wheels started out @ 1700.00. Lost me for life TPC.

Their business model is to make as many bikes as possible and profit for them, when demand slightly softens they give bit more discount. Don't think they need to care what happens other than warranty after the fact.

Maybe, I put a frameset in the cart and shipping wasnt free.

I ordered a built GR300 and the shipping was $65. However, no tax. I'd rather pay shipping than tax.

[KevinC]

Sorry, I stand corrected. I made a change to my order.
First invoice had shipping.
Amended invoice does not contain shipping charge.

Is this not the goal for Treak, Spesh..etc; sell lots of bikes? Why on earth would they care about the resale value of one of their bikes? The vast vast majority of bike buyers are not planning on reselling their bikes anytime soon after buying.

Indeed, I don't recall saying they cared. Nor would I care if they cared.

I love my R300, Pro29, Urbano and Live Wire. They are all good a ride or better than any of the other bikes I have owned and ridden. Even at full retail they are significantly cheaper than most/all US titanium builders and have been making titanium bikes for far longer than most as well.

I’ve been watching weekly and jumped as soon as I saw the latest prices.

That's what I did back in 2013. I was going to buy a Motobecane TI bike because a friend of mine has one and I rode it several times and really liked it, and it was a great deal. But, when I went to pull the trigger, they were out of stock, and remained out of stock for almost 2 years. In the meantime, about a year and half later Lynskey had a closeout sale on a Peloton, and they had my size, I paid about the same as I would have for the Motobecane but had to settle for 105 instead of DA that the Moto had, to me that wasn't a big deal.

I wanted some upgrades done to the bike before I took possession of it, so Lynskey sent it to Adrenalin Bikes who then did the swaps and only charged me the difference between what the bike came with and what I wanted. I had them swap out the 105 for an Ultegra rear derailleur, they swapped out the low-end FSA headset for a Cane Creek 110, and swapped out the Lynskey CF fork (Lynskey wouldn't tell me who made the fork or where it was made, so I didn't trust it) for a Enve 2.0, and they swapped out the cables for DA9000 cables.

So I took a long sip of whiskey out of my etched Paceline glass and pulled the trigger on a GR300 frameset with etched graphics. Looking forward to it, but I'll miss my Warbird.

Fair enough.

[robt57]

If you made that, become a vendor here please.
