nope your stuck with them unless you book your pass as a part of a package…ive never got em cheaper and have been going away for years to the alps

might be an idea to list his tools seperately and email me and the other shop who may be opening up a list of them…ive got loads of contacts and could shift them for you…..

the crush is a more heavy duty frame,if its a similar frame you want from cotic it'll be this one,due in feb…..http://www.cotic.co.uk/product/BFe

i learnt that some people believe all the hype in the countless thousands that halfords spend on advertising….

cos folk still seem to go their!

http://www.god.com is where you'll find all the ansa's, probably…

thats the main issue….all the gear means more choice! some nights itll taske me 1/2 an hour to get dressed for me ride home….it only takes me that time to drive home

the old and fat comment is relatively on target! i always find the gear selection is the real hard work…gte it right and your toasty,wrong and like me this morning you'll a bit uncomfortable.had the wrong bibs on and castelli overshoes that werent that warm…

good luck finding one…i think theyre out of stock till late march….
ive got a couple of bikes in…

soz!

theyve been hassling me for about 3-4 weeks…ive done tons of research and come to same conclusion….;last time they called i switched off the radio and told them to send an inspector round….not seen one yet!

have you set google alerts up? youll get a lot of mail but ive found stolen stuff this way online

mtfu 😆

the hammershmidt tools can do it……you need to find a shop who has that….

in a word yes….but we're all waiting on the trade assoc to secure a new provider.should be soon thankfully.

any update on your new shop? any closer to getting it open?

i bought the current shop im in with all borrowed cash(cos it was a good deal)and i didnt have any!

£30k on a small firms loan guarantee scheme (now called something different i think)basically if you go bust the eu coffs up to the bank.you need a good business plan for this

£10 personal loan,i think i said a kitchen! id spent a year before trying to improve my credit rating(which is pretty easy,look at equifax and experian to see where you stand)

the shop at the time had a to of £275k but the profit had been consistently £40k for five years and the ave margin was 37% i hawked it round mates who were accountants,business people etc and got them to look at it(cheaper than a going to see a pro)

weve got a couple of mondrakers in with hammers fitted….have yet to use one in anger though

aye phone?

ive also lost 4lbs this week, 3 long gym sessions have helped also been eating more veg and giving all my choccies/biscuits to customers 😆

my new turbo trainers on its way so that should also help things as i know ill plateau soonish…i could do with losing a good stone and a half…

ive got no experience of any of the stuff above but ive got a bikeshop so could maybe help with kit??
drop me a mail if you want

im in for three days….shops been quite boyuant really….confirmed a lovely cervelo build yesterday….3 pairs of spin shoes(wtf?)chap coming in this avo to look at zipps…..god we're becoming a road shop!

going out on friday with good customers and the staff from the shop…just a curry but its better than nowt!

i turned up at glentress once and did the usual red/blue route on my tod as was let down by some mates….very scary in bits! it was also windy which didnt help the strange noises..

got a right scare the other week when a young deer jumped out on my commute home(country lanes) he ran in front of me for about 100 meters not sure where to go..probaably scared of the wolves…

:wink:i wouldnt worry too much about xmas because unless your a shed selling cheap crap bikes you wont be that busy…..every shop i know in scotland has been down year on year at xmas for the last 3-4 years..

summer is the time! feb is a great time to open

what size are you after?

howsabout a kuota….this one.http://www.cycle-world.co.uk/products.php?plid=m1b123s23p9168&z=11312

ive got one with full ultegra and 105 wheels for £1600

i think you'll possibly need 26 hours a day to achieve all the points above…

an epos system will do quite a few of those things that were mentioned though but ive run a succesful shop for 6 years without the investment of epos…

one thing that gets me up most mornings (and i hate getting up!)is the fact that i enjoy what im doing(which is the first time in my working life)its often stressful,but mostly rewarding…the biggest headache is staff not money or customers…cos good staff make the whole job a lot easier…

id recommend a couple of books(ill get back with what they are,theyre at home) and make freinds with any local dealers big or small…when you cock up with an order they can often get you out of a hole…go in and introduce yourselves.any petty squabbles wont benefit either parties.

good luck!

Cycleworlduk… nice website and nice bikes, I bought my lad one of the Felt Q24" bikes last year, its an OK bike, BUT the equivilent Carrera bike was lots lighter, similar to better spec ran cable disks and was £80 less at the time, if it wasnt for the fact the Felt was in nice colours and the Carrera gopping in lime green it would have been no contest. Thats where Halfords score high.

thanks tinsy,we must have done something right! 😆 theyve now addressed the weight issue…(so theyve told me!)…..

with all these negatives everyone still uses them….they still sell the most amount of bikes than anyone in the country…

go figure eh!

ive got mx155 in stock if thats any good?

yep ive just checked the stock and theyre out till feb/march time if you order one now….(im a giant dealer)

orange crush at £1100 is great value….may struggle getting one though!

we're open today till 4 if you wanna chat…

ive got one in 19" in stock as we speak!

38 and 3/4….i own and run one bikeshop….soon to be two!! 😆
