Brand New Raleigh Merit Entry Level Road Bike at the Price of a Used Bike
Close-Out!
Brand new, full warranty Raleigh Merit 1 aluminum Claris road bike. A perfect entry level bike for the “I’m not sure how much I am even going to ride” set.
As of Feb 5, we have 2-54s, a 56 and a 58.
From Raleigh:
Designed with a 6061 aluminum frame and custom tapered alloy SPF fork, the Merit 1 is light and fast. The Shimano Claris 8spd STI shifters help flatten out any hill with 16 speeds to choose from. The Kenda Kwick Roller Sport 700X28c tires are fast rolling, yet comfortable. And the optional 30c tire fitment for larger tires makes this bike a little more capable than a standard road bike.
Though this bike is brand new with full factory warranty, we also listed it in used bikes as the close-out price means it is competitively priced to used bikes.
This is a brand new bike with full factory warranty. Coco's believes in getting the best bike for the money and that often means buying a bike that is last year's model. With the exception of high end mountain bikes, there is not a ton of innovation being done in the bike industry on a year to year basis. Generally, especially in the sub-$2000 market, new year refreshes are cosmetic. In fact, often, the change is to downgrade components - move from a name brand headset or crank to a house branded item.
