The Lebel Trade-In Program lets you exchange your current bike for store credit toward a new bike at Lebel Bicycles.
Use it to upgrade to a higher-spec build, switch to a different bike type (for example, from road to gravel). Or put credit toward a new Pinarello! We apply the credit directly to your new bike at checkout.
We need a few key details about the bike: brand, model, type, model year, and a general description of its condition. Adding info like component upgrades, signs of wear, and any damage helps us put together a more accurate quote!
To get your bike evaluated, fill out the form on this page with the brand, model, type, model year, upgrades, wear, and any visible damage.
The more detail you share, the more accurate your quote.
