You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
when are the 2014 models generally widely released?
interested to see what is new, then either get a 14 model or a 13 reduced.
I know it's about now, but anyone have more specific dates.
looking at 1k hardtail, so scott, giant, cube, cannondale, etc.
Very much depends on what model you want. I know from experience that the likes of Cube drip-feed the new models into the market. Likely that some 2014 bikes are already in dealers and some models won't appear until March/April next year!!

This. Was hoping lapierre might release before the end of the 'summer', Aug-Sept, but it's looking like Oct-Nov now apparently 🙁
I was asking about the Lapierre and was told they won't be available until December. I was hoping to get a deal on a 2013 zesty but they are still selling well at full price apparently.
I emailed Giant and they said their new range is likely to be out late September
Yorkshire89, 🙁 my hope is that will change when folk start holding back now that all the sites/mags are releasing details of the new stuff, even Lapierres site has details of the new spicys and zestys on there
seems like I need to go to the shops and discuss with them.
My c2w voucher will take ~1 month through my company anyway, so might just fit in.

Try this [url= http://www.bikeactive.com/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=9604738 ]here[/url] - other models available reduced too if not the right price point for you...
Giants new range will be available from a few days after their launch on the 19th August.
The deals don't seem as big anymore, I guess because the exchange rate's shifted back to something more normal during the recession rather than $2:£1 so we're not such an attractive place to dump cheep stock as margins have been squeezed. 10 years ago 50% off a bike in September was almost normal!

Thanks! I was looking at the 314 and cheapest I found online was £2150, so thats £30 cheaper atleast 🙂
Do you think prices will come down much more nearer the time the 2014's come out? Will they still be available?
Man in shop said Giants are on the way this month.
He also said they will be doing away with models by year soon, as it makes it a pain in the arse to shift/lose money on previous years models.
I picked up a good deal on a 714 a few weeks back from bikeactive.
I was considering waiting for the 2014 models but didn't want to miss a summer of riding!
Rob on sales was a great help.
New models won't come until a new, new niche is invented
