  • Are there any pressing reasons not to get a brand new A Line for € 1100? As far as I could tell it's fully upgradeable with mudguards, rack and whatnot later on.
    Even 15-20 years old, heavily used models go for € 7-800 here in NL, so I'm not very keen on buying one second hand at the moment.

    New you get the 7 year frame warranty.
    I think most only sell them when they really have no need for them, but upthread you will see some who have regretted selling.
    Sometimes current versions do not repeat prior year colours, and for some the colours make it.

    As for upgrades, many suggestions on this thread, but the €300 delta is always one for you to make a call.

    I do however think if you are comparing a 2 year old 'P line' with a new A, I would still opt for the 'P'. If you are comparing A:A, go new.

    What is a €300 delta?

  • Yeah, the frame warranty is also a pretty solid point of buying new. I really don't mind the colour and the looks, albeit I actually do fancy the bnw scheme on this year's A Line.
    I think I might as well just go for it after I figure out which one (or more) of my other bikes to sell.
