Back in the day, loaner bikes were originally made available to only active team members who either did not have, or did not want to commit to, the grand or so necessary to enter the sport.  In short, they were geared to help less affluent students enter the sport without paying that mammoth upfront entry fee.

Though today, I'd like to open the doors to include GCC - from whether you are not yet ready (or able) to commit to the sport yourself, to whether you have a "tweener" downstairs growing like a beanstalk, buying new shoes for him every other week.

Either way, these bikes are meant for temporary usage* with the option to buy.

I have an extremely light, and very sexy Tsunami 54cm road bike available.  Blue and while.  Light, because it cannot weigh much more than 15 pounds - and sexy, because it is... and because Jayson O'Mahoney once road the frame.

Aluminum Frame
