I have long searched for a pinarello Dogma F, and I ended up buying at Cycle exchange as the bike looked as it was new, however the price was super convenient, way below the price of a new model.
I would say thanks to every single member of staff who helped me and showed knowledge, passion and dedication.

Greedy

Got an offer through for my bike which was quite frankly offensive, considering they are marketing the EXACT same models/specs for what would have been a 133% markup. Just plain greedy. I'd rather them just come out and say they didn't want it rather than try and pull my pants down. Madness. Complete waste of time.

Hi Adam, we price dynamically according to where the market demand is at the time of submission. Your model of bike is now in much less demand than it was previously. The one you are comparing to has been unsold for a while. We can always sell on commission for you, so sale or return with fixed margin. If we didn't want it we wouldn't offer. Sorry it didn't work out and best of luck with the sale.

I bought an F12 from cycle exchange and it was a great price.

Great business model for high end cycle exchange/ pre owned purchase

Max is a cycle enthusiast over a sales person that supported me through the whole purchase of a pre owned late model Cannondale Synapse at nearly 50% of the current RRP. I was made to welcome and given the opportunity to test ride the bike irrespective of a commitment to buy. Once I agreed to purchase, the bike was given a thorough check and final tune by the on site work shop while I waited and I was able to take the bike straight after that. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
