I sort of thought they'd have more. I was expecting 60 plus bikes.
They only have 1 spare???
I wasn't expecting flat specific bikes in 2025 and I was expecting more spares. I guess a spare doesn't have to be that specific.
I was expecting 1 main, 2 spares, and 1 TT per rider = 32 bikes. Plus some extra frames in common sizes: so 35-36?
And then the factory/distributor/team warehouse would have some that are quite ready for shipping.
Edit: I see I'm tripped up by the spare TT, so 40-45?
