Where to buy GRC?


Seems like it's very hard to find a dealer. Not even in ebay.

They are the only importer of GRC, but they do have a dealer network as well, just like Blata and the other bike makes offered out there. I believe every bike manufacturer (with the exception of Polini and some aftermarket manufacturers) has a sole importer now, not like it was a few years ago.

TT's use to carry GRC out your way....not sure who's doing it now. You may have to call direct. If you lived in NY or in my neck of the woods, I could tell you who to call, but I believe in supporting the guy in your area who supports the sport. I'm sure if you call Mid South and ask who their dealer is in your area, they'll tell you.

Yes unless you buy used. It's not like the Chinese bikes where they're a dime a dozen.

Everybody is different. You may be rich and nevermind the value of money. Ofcourse the company have to make money, but MSRP usually double of the cost value. That's why dealers usually sells like $100-$200 cheaper and still making over $200 profit per bike.

I guess car dealer will be so happy when you come to buy a car at MSRP

For an example, what it sounds like your saying is that the importers bring these bikes in at $1500 and automatically double the price to $3000? It's a bit exagerated. I'm not sure where you got your information, but I will try to help....the MSRP isn't double the cost of these bikes. You may have heard what it would cost to buy the bike from the manufactuer, but no one ever considers the tariffs, duties, and other taxes charged for importation into the US,the transportation to get it here, handling charges, etc. It adds up quick and then you have to worry about the exchange rates.

GRC/Midsouth hasn't raised their prices in two years....I don't know how they do it, but they are. Shop around to some other manufacuters and see what prices they're asking for super production bikes and open bikes and the GRC is already a few hundred cheaper from the start.

I don't begrudge anyone trying to save $100 - $200 on a new bike, but that's only about 4% of the value not 50% (or double as you state above).

It has nothing to do with being rich or poor, the European bikes are handmade by small, usually family owned companies. They aren't mass produced like most of the Chinese bikes. With the exception of Polini, every European pocketbike manufacturer has ONE importer into the United States. They are harder to find and the importers are very careful that their distributors don't price gouge so that the value stays up for everyone.
