Makro Cannondale

[droo]

Was at Brakpan Makro earlier and passed their sports section, no 5's left. It's obvious that whoever is buying these knows the difference between the usual "makro type" bike on display and these. 

 

You mean "has eyes"

I have a few friends looking for 5's - seems like most have been snapped up, some are also destined to be Christmas Presents.

I spoke to a supevisor of the sporting goods department at Makro Vaal on Saturday, and I stood by her while she looked up on the system to see which branches still had some available. Makro alberton had 7 and Woodmead had 13. I cannot remember which other ones in the Gauteng area also still had some available, but there were more, I just cannot remember at which branches.

I can’t find a link on the website,and I’m no where near a makro. Thinking of e-mailing them.

Makro Wonderboom Got the Trail 5's in.All Medium Size as far as display items goes.Guy on sales floor said they still have plenty in the store room.I asked him if there are any other size's other than M at the back and the reply was "they are all the same as these ones"

Do they mean they only sell medium size,or that that specific store only has mediums ?

Anybody that can help me with their sizing charts ? I can’t find it on their website.

Makro Woodmead has not stock left of the Trail 5. Only Trail 7s in stock.

I was at Makro Milnerton on Monday. Walked in and had a look at the Cannondale. Saleman says, this is a very popular bike only a few left and they all spoken for. Not sure why but everyone is asking for them. Whats so special?

 

So I whip out the phone and punch in cannondale.com and show him the Scalpel.

Okes eyes nearly fell out.

What I can gather from what he meant is that Makro Wonderboom only has mediums.There was one trail 5 Medium on display on top of about 5 boxes,when i checked the labels on the boxes all of them are medium size's

Someone commented several pages back that Makro only brought in mediums.

My thoughts are that things in this country have become way overpriced. This 'deal' is good value in that what you pay is what it is worth and not the usual overpaying for things.

yup, I remember circa 2001 you could get an nice avarage bike for around 7-10k. Decent starter mtb's were around 2k if it had some sort RST shock in the front. Not talking about above avarage kind of suff. I'll classify this Trail 5 at about above-entry-level in today speak..not your last bicycle but not total crap either...you definitely don't have to feel ashamed when whipping this badboy out at you local funride...even though you got it from Makro. And if that bothers you..just tell everyone you got it from CWC LOL. then again, they might rag on you for paying almost double for it then.

I can confirm this,I asked on Facebook and they said ONLY mediums.
