Thanks all but I think some may be misunderstanding.
The first offer is from a manafacturer who are offering them to us at the price they normally sell at which is 30% below retail but isn't a discount on what they normally sell at.
My thought issue was that whilst grateful for that if we went with the other option and bought and gave any publicity to the lbs that would in effect buy them at retail for us and hand them over at no profit then it might be better. Or should we go back to manafacturer and push for more.
Whilst some may say this represents a cheap holiday or whatever. Each individual will certainly be spending more personally than we would be if this were not happening. We also plan to sell the bikes afterwards and give proceeds to the charity.
It's about trying to make as much for the charity as possible.
Not saying we won't have fun though ;)
