In recently visited a Performance Bike store while shopping for a new road bike. The sales person on the floor showed me a couple of bikes he presented as "Photo Shoot" models. Basically one-off productions of future floor models that they use for catalog photos. The price on the bike looked almost too good considering it was a current year model, and the drivetrain group on the build.
Is this a common practice for online retailers that also maintain a storefront? Or, is this just a clever way for the store to try to move limited inventory?
Considering the size of PB as a chain, and the individual store, I'm inclined to take the salesperson at his word. I'm just a little leery even though it looks like an opportunity to get a great deal on a nice bike.
