Spoke with a sales assoc yesterday at Wally World. He said they would not match prices from store to store. I always thought they would honor prices from other stores. Can someone out there clear this one up. Here is a pic of mine that I paid $69.00 for. John.

well John maybe my story will help alil.. I am from Edgewater N.J. which is 5 minutes from NYC. I went to a Walmart, Monroe NY (an hour away) and they had them at 79 for black 69 for blue and green. Going on what my new buddy ParkRNDL told me that they were 35 bucks in Chambersburg Pa I asked the NY store to honor Chambersburg's price. They said if I could show them proof of the price by a flyer or if it was online.. I'm thinking does this manager really works here?! I cant produce any of that and the bikes aren't online! So I got the directions to the PA store and started my 3 and a half hour drive to score big. After aquiring 5 bikes at 35 bucks apiece, 4 black 1 blue (THANKS PARK!) I asked the asst manager how come my NY store wouldn't honor her store's price? She explained it was an "inhouse sale" so they would not honor it. Since stores are pricing them differently I am thinking that they are classified as "inhouse sales"?? and yes I shoved 5 boxes into a mid size 89 mazda 929..2 in the trunk, 3 in the backseat. Talk about extra tight!! lol

I wouldn't give it a second thought, they're not worth the box they come in. I picked mine up for $25 even and only because I just couldn't pass that up for the parts alone. I feel dirty and cold now with that thing (still in it's box) under my workbench. It did feel pretty good though that there is no way Wal-Mart or Pacific came out on top of that, that box was bulky, heavy and had to cost Satan a lot...Wal-Mart...a lot to ship. :lol:

heres mine i paid $69, i did the mandatory front wheel swap, leaned the bars forward dropped the seat, took all the stickers off and took some laquer thinner to the seat and removed stripes and S from the seat

 

[Buck Masterson]

Ok, this is killing me, so I have to ask. Why do folks drop the seat like that? I'm only 5'8" but there is NO WAY I could peddle with the seat that low. Either that or give myself black eyes and break my glasses from my knees hitting me in the face. :wink:

 

[vanilla_gorilla]

just a look thats all
i actually prefer mine as low as possible
im about 6 foot and its not so bad really

Been to three Wal-Marts in my area this week.

Two of them had two black assembled bikes inside in the bike area for $59 each and the closest one to me still has 7 or 8 of them sitting
outside in the garden center for $69 for black and $79 for blue and green.

I wish I knew if an when they planned to drop the price on the black ones that they have for $59.

I'd like to combine some of the parts from one with this 99 Country Time I have.

rather have looks than comfort

i agree but i would rather look SAWEET! than be comfortable

 

[xddorox]

I guess for older guys like myself, comfort becomes a priority with time.

 

[moparmayhem93]

Now that's just showin' off. :wink:

 

[Rat Rod]

Okay...grabbed a black one today for $59 that was on the top rack of the Wal-Mart bike department.

Had my 2 year old with me and the gentleman in the bike dept. got the bike down, rolled it to the register and even brought it
out to our van and loaded it in the back for me. Had to double check again to make sure I was really at Wal-Mart! :lol:

And to his credit, he was Asian and in his 50s so he still had a work ethic and a sense of responsibility.

Anyway....should be fun combining parts from the Country Time bike and this one....stay tuned!

 

[Hooch]

do you guys realize i have had to force myself from going to walmart since these came out hahaha
I know I will end up with one......*just say no*

 

[GTCOMA]

Well, i held out as long as i could. I picked up a green one for $59. As I was carrying the box through the store, three people asked if it was for me. I just shrugged and said "what, no, no" and kept walking. Little do they know my 240lbs will be bottoming out the springer fork on a test ride before the night is over.

 

[Rat Rod]

Got everyone to bed and had a little free time to start the upgrade process.

Here's a teaser shot...more to follow tomorrow.

Believe it or not...the forecast says it will be 72F degrees here tomorrow. :shock:
