Decade and CRC – is there a relationship

I thought I remembered there being one, like Jungle and Stif. But can’t find evidence of it now, did I imagine it?

Decade is part of kenisis which is one of the few companies bigger than crc

ah, all in my head then… Ta.

Really? When did this happen?

tis true, I found their company records. CRC own decade.

So how come Hotlines aren’t the distributor?

CRC Own Hotlines (distributor) and Decade Europe (distributor) – not the bike model/brand.

From Biketart’s Facebook page

Royal Clothing is distributed in the UK by Decade. Chain Reaction Cycles own Decade. CRC are now doing 40% off 2012 Royal Clothing which destroys the brand for shops that spent a lot of money on stock. We’ve dropped Royal today and have 50% off all stock starting today until it’s gone. http://www.biketart.com/300/royal.aspx

Someone’s not happy

Problem is there’s two ‘Decade’ brands in Cycling.

Decade that do DMR/Kinesis/TRP etc aren’t the same as the ones that CRC own.

TBF isn’t a bit naive to get into bed with CRC by buying into one of their brands and not expect to get ****ed up the ***?

You’re thinking of Upgrade, not Decade.

This happens with various Distributors that ‘dump’ stock online retailers, resulting in alot of IBD’s not wanting to stock them as they know in a few months they’ll be being sold at cost or less. 😐

No I think he means decade the bike company that make the virsa and a few others, they’re handled (or posisbly owned) by the same people who import kinesis, upgrade. DMR and upgrade are part of the same company.

There’s also a decade distribution that’s owned by CRC.
