Just an heads up to a real good dealer.
My mate runs a bike shop, and if possible I always buy from him, if only
to keep the LBS in business.So, wanting some new shoes for the summer, I
ordered some Sidi Mega shoes (this was mid-April).Yep, should be a couple
of days he said.
And it has gone on like that since - the Importers keep fobbing him off
with various excuses - none being made until May,boat sunk, Italy
gone bankrupt etc.Waiting 5 months for something to come in is just not
on, if it wasnt my mate, I would have cancelled long ago.
I was getting a bit desperate now, with the CX season now started, and
someone had pointed out these dealers on Singletrackworld.com. I gave them
a ring - yes we've got them in stock, and £30 less than RRP. So I ordered
at 17:20 Friday, they arrived 10:20 Saturday, - a big thumbs up to
http://www.bitz4bikes.com
And how can the LBS compete when the Importer just wont supply them?
He would have made maybe £20 on these shoes, yet he just cant get them in
to sell!
