Must be an american thing

Seen this is Spain, but only when someone ordered an unpopular colour or something

Edit: actually, one of my bikes is this - it was a model available in custom colour combos for a bit extra money - mine is green and blue which is a bit off the wall, but I like it ... and I got a new bike for 1000€ less than the asking price :-)

I did the same thing in Germany, but the down payment was much higher so people tend to commit fully. It’s actually more of an exception in the US as people tend to not custom order as dealers have loads of new cars ready to go on the lot.

Frankly I’d prefer them to switch to a custom order model, but there are too many impulse car buyers here.
