How long would you need the bike for and what would the price be?

With any luck my bike will be delivered in the next couple of weeks and I'll be visiting the New Zealand Nitron agent to have measurements performed.Also,I hope to be there while Guy Evans, Nitron CEO, is visiting.

Hi Nitron,

Sorry to see you are struggling getting volunteers.
To be honest, i don't find it a great deal for me as the owner of the bike, but massive for you.

Your system is sold for somewhere between £400 and £800, you will give 50% discount on that.
That leave me with having a cost of the bike, the lack of the bike for a couple of weeks, and then an eventual bill of £200-£400 afterwards. Then i have to think on, what happens if you scratch or something bad happens to the bike, while in your hands?
The risk seems to be in my hands only.

On the other hand, you have the chance to make big bucks on this deal.
A reasonable salesman, have at least 30% margin.
If you sell 10 of these, you've made £1500 or there about. If you sell more, you earn more, cash directly in the pocket.

Seeing what for example Hyperpro offered to our Dutch member, and what other companies have offered, I'm sorry to say, you're too greedy, and you'll have to buy your own bike to test on.

I wouldn't put my pride and joy in the hands of a company to use it for development just to save 50% off a £400 -ish part.

But then again I'm from West Yorkshire so I wouldn't be offering my bike to an Oxford company either which is the main reason I never offered.
