Aegis T2 available to rent for 2009 racing season

Hey Mainers,

I have a tri bike for rent this year. It is a 2006 silver 56cm Aegis T2 full carbon handmade in Maine superbike. It would fit riders from 5'10 to 6'1. It has a 650c HED3 tri spoke rear carbon wheel and a 58mm rim HED carbon front. 10 speed Dura Ace components. Profile Design T2+ aerobars, Terry Fly saddle (super comfortable). Aero carbon seatpost. FSA SL-K carbon crankset. Continental Grand Prix 4000 clinchers. If that description does not give you an impression of how amazing this bike is, come to Freeport and see it/ride it. I rode an Aegis T2 bike (not this bike) last year and finished 4th (of 40) in my age group in the bike leg at Lobsterman. In the Maine time trial series I rode my T2 at 25mph pretty consistently. It's quite a bike and really does help your run. You can reach me at 865-0752.

Terms:
$450 for a 4 month period. Paid upfront. This is really an incredible deal. From what I can tell renting a racing bike of this caliber would be something like $200 for a race weekend alone!

What about damage? Sure there may be a tip-over or a scratch in the racks. I can deal with small scatches as I have touch up paint and knowledge of frame repair so it does not rock me. We can negotiate damage costs if its a nasty 'down to the carbon' digger.

What about an accident that ruins the bike? That would be a heck of an accident, but if the frame gets damaged beyond repair you'll get to be the permanent owner of the frameset for $500. In fact you can buy the bike ($1500 complete) from me at anytime during the rental period. (The rental fee is already applied to those costs). Or you can just buy the bike outright for $1950 which is still a deal considering the frameset alone is $3000 new.
