A couple of years ago I remember there was a site for buying kit in a sort of Groupon way- so if 50 people (say) committed to buying some particular bars they’d get them for a better price, that sort of thing.

Anyone know what it was and if it’s still going?

Been overtaken by sport pursuit I think

It’s called crc sales everything you don’t want cheap.

That sport pursuit thing looks like the same thing, but much slicker so wouldn’t be suprised if the original (or at least the one I’m thinking of) didn’t last.

Just idly wondered what happened to it as it seemed like a really good idea.

Future tried it with Deal Zippy running the operation for a while. Uptake wasn’t amazing, and manufacturers were understandably a little reticent to take part and potentially alienate their target customers (online and B&M retailers) by cutting them out of the loop.

Remember that as much as cycling is growing in popularity, it’s still pretty niche, so the financial incentive is pretty low for any company getting into this arena.
