And each one has way too many models.There are really just too many bike brands.
After years of threatening dealers about selling on Ebay, Specialized now has their own Ebay store. Good times.One just needs to look on Upway Bikes
2021-2022 brand new Cannondale Monterra
Specialized Levos same. All sizes absolutely crazy of the overstock, yet I couldn't find a tire at that time.

Well, this is the one thing in the industry that hasn't changed. The difference is the reduced price inventory used to go to dealers who could make a buck and pass along some great deals to customers. Now they all sell direct to cutting out the dealers. Not missing it at all.The biggest fuck up right now is how many companies came out with a Model update this year when they still have a billion of the previous year in stock. Let’s just devalue everything we own, mark it down 80%, and steal sales away from new model so that also ends up having a billion too many in inventory 😂

Not unlike US car companies from the past. Surprised they didn't learn from historical poor practices.There are really just too many bike brands.
PON has Cervelo, Santa Cruz, Cannondale and GT. That's a fair amount of overlap just owned by one company.
Each one designing bikes, marketing bikes, building bikes, etc. That's not even counting Juliana which adds to Santa Cruz costs.
A bike is the sum of it's parts. Blame the part companies for making everything by the year.
Why can't a model bike just be the same. Well probably because last years shifter was 9sp and this years is 11.
It sounds like the model is still the big brands try to force the LBSs to buy more than they can sell? That's something that has to change if true. Can't screw the dealers and then turn around and sell direct online.
