Nick Posted September 13, 2018 Share For that price for a brand new bike, does it really matter?Probably not. But all the details would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie NL Posted September 13, 2018 Share At that price I don’t really care for Omnico’s warrantee, at almost a third of the price I can just get another 2 replacementsAnd it's that attitude which kills the LBS business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamS2 Posted September 13, 2018 Share And it's that attitude which kills the LBS businessIt's the ridiculous notion of having a middleman distributor adding massive margins that kills the LBS business.

PeterF Posted September 13, 2018 Share I wonder how long it will take before someone starts ranting here about how Omnico will not provide any support for their Cannondale that was purchased at Makro?

rorydewet Posted September 13, 2018 Share Omnico (the authorized SA Cannondale dealers) have asked that we share the following statement from them regarding the Makro deal: "Please be informed the Cannondale Bicycles currently being advertised and sold by Makro stores in South Africa have been imported without the approval or license of Omnico (Pty) Ltd. As such no guarantee or warrantee in respect of such bicycles will be honoured or fulfilled by Omnico (Pty) Ltd. In terms of Section 25 (2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008, Makro are obliged to clearly indicate to the consumer, in all advertising and point of sale, that this is the case. For more information on our range of Cannondale Bicycles please go to www.cannondale.co.za"So Omnico wont honor any guarantees. Boo Hoo who cares. Makro will honor a guarantee as Makro normally do. If I bought from Makro and it develops issues I will take it back to Makro and definitely not Omnico. This statement by Omnico seems like a lesson in sour grapes. ians H2Sport, Skylark, _David_ and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted September 13, 2018 Share Maybe Makro can take over all the major bike brands in SA. Imagine the savings for us! Makro SA, Eddy Gordo, Swany05 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swany05 Posted September 13, 2018 Share I wonder if Omnico have anything to say regarding the disparity in pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEd Posted September 13, 2018 Share why is everyone saying Makro ....its WAL*MART (shopping with satan ) Not to argue with you, but I haven't noticed any South African "People of Makro" memes on the internet, so perhaps we're just not at a proper Walmart level yet... peetwindhoek and callieskibbe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdwet1980 Posted September 13, 2018 Share That Makro prices are not consistent with international prices. I expect a Trail 7 with 3 x 7 drivetrain and cable brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted September 13, 2018 Share When will specs be out?Dont forget, certain bike shops and distributors were fined for price fixing. I wonder if this will be revisted once the bikes are in stock. Pikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkie 2 Posted September 13, 2018 Share When will specs be out?Dont forget, certain bike shops and distributors were fined for price fixing. I wonder if this will be revisted once the bikes are in stock.Maybe with the Makro sms coming out, they might not even be sure or they are busy buying more stock.
