I had a call from Tredz to say that they weren't expecting to get the Suito back in tick until September. I've cancelled and am now waiting on a 2018 KICKR from sigmasports. We're going to be in lockdown a long time I think, this year is pretty much a write off in terms of outdoor group rides
Tredz only take the payment at dispatch, so I'm happy keeping the order and if I find something in the mean time then so be it.
Elite are Italian, so I guess they're all caught up in lockdown too, but I imagine the trainers are made in China tho. So, there might be some chance we could get some stock before Xmas, unless it needs to go via an Italian distributor? Therefore I think any stock that appears on a website could be single units found tucked away somewhere or returned/demo units?
Tbh, I think the lockdown will last a while yet. They offered the furlough scheme "starting with 3 months and longer if needed" and they're not going to lift the lockdown while paying people to not to go to work (just they would have people kicking off if they announced the lockdown was also starting at 3 months instead of 3 weeks) - my logic.
Tbh, not sure how much I'd get to use the trainer anyway - I've setup my dumb trainer and only been on it a couple times as daytimes are a write off with childcare while the other half is still needing to work from home. By the time I'm "free" any motivation has gone and beer is calling... Tho, I guess with the longer evenings I could get out on the mountain bike in the evenings...
