Ironman Malaysia :Trek Speed Concept At Bargain

It is no secret that many Ironman competitors will sometimes sell off their bike after the one race (Ironman distance) for reason such as "I had enough" or "one time suffering is enough" or "I am too tired to bring this back home" or even "rewarding myself with a sweeter ride".

It is normal to really see a full spec bike dished out at a bargain. 

Now how about if i tell you that a few, potentially more Trek Speed Concept or TSC will be up for sale at almost 40% off after Ironman Langkawi? These bikes are full spec TT ready and only been used ONCE (aka the Ironman Malaysia).

And it look as awesome as this...

I am not kidding that the above TSC is for sale after Ironman Malaysia (yes, I am repeatig myself as I can't believe more so after looking at the "for sale" price)

The Bargain
The above complete dished out bike will cost RM7,300.00 brand new. However for this event, Trek will be offering this at RM4,300.00.

Bike is first come first serve basis and you can negotiate with the Trek team on site for payment terms, handling charges (to send back to KL for you to pick it up later?) and good old Malaysian "boleh kurang lagi" bargain. (Can it be cheaper bargain).

I am told that Trek Concept Store will be opened in Kota Damansara in a few days time and perhaps that would be a good opportunity to go check out what they have to offer too. 

Stay tuned for more.
