just got an email from giordano. capstone elite bike rack on sale now on Giordano for $120. it's $360 on amazon.
NOTE: mentioned on it's website. it's closeout item not eligible for returns.
I saw on Reddit that Kent owned it, but this is secondhand knowledge. I had horrible customer service from Kent and ultimately returned the bike. Huffy has a huge sale on their Ebay site. Just picked up 2 bikes for less than 200. Not an elite bike, but it will work for the neighborhood.
Bad reviews on Amazon, anyone have any personal experience with this item?
Yes, very concerning regarding rapid disintegration of the yellow ratcheting straps, and the lack of replacement parts from the manufacturer. I'm going to pass unless there's a compelling explanation that the parts have been reformulated or replacements are now available.
Picked this up because of the slick deals posting. Thanks! for 120, this thing is unbelievable. I can't believe folks are passing because of a yellow strap. When this breaks, it will be so easy to use a tie down or replace with another strap.
I was about to spend 400-800 on a 'name brand'. I previously had one of the amazon brands and it was a TRD. Wobbled, stuck out ridiculously far, awful stability. I'm telling you, if you're like me and want to spend more on bikes and gear, grab this before it's gone.
