Twas a good company some decent stuff, closing down due to retirement of owners.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

FFS they were the only ppl to sell 10m of SP41 at a reasonable price, why didn’t I get some ordered, why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 for the SP41 🙁

buggeration, they alwayshad good prices for stuff 🙁

Now where will I buy cheap KMC chains from?

Don’t Rose bikes do SP41 at a decent price? Shame about Parker though

Bit surprised by that

Bloody hell , an old work mate works/worked there … gutted to hear this 🙁

Now where will I buy cheap KMC chains from?

There are a couple of sellers in Taiwan I’ve used on ebay to get X10-SL’s for £20-25 posted. That would be my recommendation and they arrived quickly too.

I thought it was big enough and well known enough to be sold as a business. I don’t think it was worth much over the value of it’s assets, but still would have been worth a little more than just selling off it’s stock.

That is such a shame, a great shop!

listing says they are selling due to refit of new warehouse ?

+ 1 for the SP41, oh well. Hope they enjoy their retirement.

How will the ebay auctions end up bargains?

You’d expect more than 200 items if they were closing surely? Refit seems more likely unless everything else has been sold to other buyers

We went in there earlier this year, they seemed busy as.
I remember when they used to be down ‘the lane that no one could find’ in some farm outbuildings.
I’m really surprised that they couldn’t continue.

Web site doesn’t look promising http://www.parker-international.co.uk/
Shame, they were pretty good

Shame they couldn’t sell the business on.

A bit sudden. [edit] just checked and the last newsletter I got was on the 10th, offering another 10% off Christmas tools.

Wow that is a shame, always great for road stuff.

Oh no! They used to be practically my LBS back in the day. I can remember the row of Merlin ti frames they had hanging on the wall in their old place in Sheriffales.

Looks like most of the bargains have already gone, so much cheap stuff gone through auction already!

Great shame to see them go though 🙁

Classy, Chain Reaction. Classy.

saw one of their ebay auctions on saturday morning, a track pump for £1.95 with 5.95 delivery. worth a shot for under a tenner. won the auction as I was the only bidder. didnt realise they were a well known shop. sad if theyre closing though…

Lots more items showing compared to this morning currently coming up…
