Singular Cycles Spreads Its Wings

by 0

We’ve just heard from Singular Cycles boss, Sam Alison that he’s going into partnership with a long time dealer (Frank Dressler in Weselberg) in Germany. They will take care of things like storage, shipping and all that stuff, leaving the tall, blonde Aussie to concentrate on the more creative side of the business like frame design, sales and marketing. In the past, Sam did everything from answering the phone to labelling the boxes, so this should free him up to make sure his legion of customers is kept happy.

Singular goes on to state:

“In addition to these operational changes we have taken the decision to dramatically reduce the range for the moment. Sadly this means the departure of some beloved models such as the Peregrine and Gryphon. However what we do have is three fantastic bikes which cover a broad spectrum of riding from the road to full fat and a whole lot in between. The goal is to consolidate and build the strength of the company so that we can confidently either reintroduce some models, or develop completely new ones.”

The bikes remaining in the slimmed down line are the fat Puffin, the ‘cross/gravel/anything Kite and the classic original model, the Swift.

“Overall, we are hugely excited about the new range of models we now have and what we are sure is a bright future that lies ahead for Singular. Thank you for your support of Singular over the years and helping us grow in the future.”
