309.0. "GUERCIOTTI for under $500" by ZEKE::MCCARTHY () Sun May 10 1987 08:46

    
    
    	In this months issue of BICYCLE, they have the 1987 buyers 
    quide. To my amazement Guerciotti has a bike for $495. Its
    called the 6100 Sprint, it is aluminuim frame with Campy Victory
    and Tromipe (sp) componets with a total weight of 19lbs. That 
    sounds like a great deal to me, does anyone know a bike dealer
    that carry Guerciotti bikes in the Southern New Hampshire or
    Northern Massachusetts area ?

309.1bet it's a typoDEBIT::FISHERMon May 11 1987 06:046
    Category I in Tyngsborough is a dealer -- he does not "carry them"
    because of inventory considerations.  My bet is that he'll quote
    a higher price because it's probably a typo, but you can call him
    anyway.

309.2Don't trust magazine pricesBOOKIE::WIEGLERMon May 11 1987 12:026
    Don't trust the prices in the magazine.  They also said that Cannondale
    had lowered the price on a particular model by $90 from the '86
    price, then they quoted the "new" price.  When I called Cannondale
    they said that not only didn't they lower the price, but actually
    they raised it.  Where do the magazines get their prices.  They
    must use the same sources as the Miami Herald. 
309.3Its new bike from the court house time....EUREKA::REG_BHusqvarna Sonata fur A# saw und voodMon May 11 1987 12:069
    
    	At a guess its a typo.  My guess is that the most significant
    digit is missing, if this guess is wrong I'll probably buy one.
    In fact I think I'll get one and nail 'em on the truth in advertizing
    law; you advertized it for this, I wannit, Ya gotta sell me one
    at *THIS* price.
