Does anyone know for certain wether poshbikes.co.uk is still running as a company please?
No idea. Did anyone ever buy anything from them? IIRC they used to charge roughly twice as much as any EU site where you could buy the same stuff.
Mind you, that was a few years ago, so things may have moved on.
And they sold those really ugly storch(sp) bikes
Funny I was just thinking of them earlier today, but couldn't quit remember their name, guess it doesnt matter now.
my experience...they shouldnt be ,i was gona go some ax lightness stuff but they werent bothered id have spent over a grand...not cool in my book
I was fairly unimpressed with them. Quite how a company like them can have such an out of date record I have no idea, I'd have bought more if it hadn't involved phoning them!
I think they may now be known as Velo Refined. Still dealing in very expensive kit, but you need to make an appointment to get in the shop!
Yes they seem to exist, got some very nice wheels from them recently 🙂

Velo Refined website isn't all that much better than Posh Bikes, seems to be all road stuff as well 😕
Since he's resurrected this thread and started a new one on the same subject, I'm guessing he has a bit of an axe to grind ?
Just to balance things out... I bought a Storck road frame a few years ago (which is lovely by the way) and Posh Bikes were very helpful and patient with my endless email/phone questions. Not had to deal with them since then but I've got a mate who has bought several Storck road frames over the years and he's had no problems...
The wheels are built by Harry Rowlands - rather nice...
