PLUSH RIDING and SWEET HANDLING MONOCOQUE HIGH MODULUS CARBON FIBER FRAMESET! +
Built with Tour de France winning Shimano shifting technology. Factory Direct Promotional Sale

THESE ARE INSTOCK

Why is this Price So Low?
1) Factory Direct Prices
First of all, Bikesdirect.com is the largest internet authorized retailer of bicycles and buys in enormous quantities to sell direct to cyclists at considerable discounts - near to wholesale prices of comparable bikes sold in shops near you.

2) Limited Supply Special Sale
Motobecane is making a big push into carbon fiber and believes that riders should see the value and quality for themselves. Instead of spending mega-bucks on flashy ads, Motobecane is cutting the price on this small shipment of bikes. They are allowing us to offer these for only $1095.

What is the Warranty? Is Bikesdirect an authorized Motobecane dealer?
Yes, Bikesdirect.com is a fully authorized Motobecane USA dealer and an official national warranty claims/service center. You get the Full Lifetime Motobecane USA Warranty coverage for all new Motobecane USA bicycles purchased from us. Feel free to verify this by contacting www.motobecane.com (info@motobecane.com).

List is $2295.

The $1095 price is below comparable dealer cost of most any other comparably equipped full carbon bicycles. (see comparison below)

Is This a Complete Bike?
YES - Just add a rider with helmet, shoes and clothing.
A 50cm bike is 19.5 lbs (nominal weight per mfg)
. Professionally equipped with 2008 FSA Aluminum cranks, Shimano 27 speed Derailleurs, Shifters AND Aluminum Brakes. Ride in total control with a raceable Ritchey Comp Bar, Stem, FSA Carbon Seatpost, puncture resistant Kenda Kontender tires and Shimano Wheelset too!

How Good is the Frame?
This Century Carbon frame is based on technology used in Motobecane's BEST Carbon Fiber frame. This 2.8 lb (mfg stated), Monocoque High Modulus Carbon Fiber Frame and Carbon Fiber fork is based on the Immortal carbon frame tested by professional magazine editors to rave reviews. To name just a few: Roadie International and Bicycling Magazine tested this frame for several MONTHS and all the editors raved about it! FULL LIFETIME MOTOBECANE USA WARRANTY

What Does The Century Comp Compare To:
The Specialized Roubaix Comp sells for $2200 in stores:

1) + Century Comp has HIGH MODULUS CARBON Fiber MONOCOQUE FRAME made in Taiwan (Taiwan is regarded as the BEST for carbon bicycle technology)
     The Specialized frame is made in China.)

2) + Century Comp has FREE super-light Clipless Pedals! (List $80)
     (The Specialized bike comes with low dollar plastic pedals) (List $10)

3) + Century Comp has Ritchey Bar / Stem / FSA Carbon Seatpost, High Pressure Kenda Kontender road tires
     (Specialized comes with lower level housebrand items)

4) + Century Comp has Black Anodized Aluminum Dual-Pull Brake Calipers
    (Specialized comes with Shimano 105)

5) Century Comp $1095 - PRICE INCLUDES UPS GROUND TO 48 STATES
    (Specialized Roubaix Comp $2200 List price + Local Taxes)


Why buy a lower tech, harsh riding 18-19 lbs Aluminum Shimano 6600 Ultegra bike anywhere else with housebrand wheels for $2,000+ when you can have a plush-riding FULL CARBON Bike / Shimano 27spd for about half that price?
