SLEDGES BACK IN STOCK WITH AN EVEN LARGER RANGE
This was the scene outside Rotec Cycles on the evening of Monday 21st December, Caos ensued on the roads as cars were dumped unable to move. Traffic normally resticted to just the rush hour was still stationary at midnight! We are open as usual so no drama's there, All Christmas collections already booked are where we said they would be and at the moment everything is going to plan.
Well, The sledges did arrive, They are dissapearing at a rapid rate of knots and will be gone by mid-week..... Don't delay, These last few are the last before Christmas...... Check out our Sledges / Winter pages to sdee the models we stock With SNOW on its way the sledges are gonna be here on Friday, We are stocking 2 different models, one an adult sized and the other a 'big kids' sledge with brakes, both types are under £30 quid each.....
We are running at full steam ahead getting ready for the last weekend before Christmas..... We still have good stocks of bikes across all ranges. I have just (17/12/09) updated our stock situations on most of the Bmx models we have concerns about.
Parts wise we have more stock than ever, Its worth letting us know if there is a specific item your wanting so we can insure its available for when you want it... We will be in the shop from 8am until 10pm week days, until 6pm on Saturday, 10.30 to 4pm Sunday. Christmas Eve I will deffinatly be in until 3pm probably later if past years are to be judged by.......
We still have work shop available for building bikes bought in boxes from elsewhere, I have set up a page dedicated to this including the prices.
Stocking filler/gift idea section now added!!Gift vouchers to any value also available.
NHS Bikes NHS Cycle To Work Scheme Now Availble .....
That time of year......
Hmmm...... 7 days a week for us here, it's all good as it should mean in the week I will leave before 11pm..... Christmas is in full swing here, the ware house is coming into its own, as space at the shop has always been at a premium. Remember unlike larger stores any deposit for a bike is paid on a bike sat at the warehouse with your name on it, it means we won't have any orders not arriving causing massive problems for everyone.
The Bmx's are still selling well, we are now at the point where the bike manufactures have run out of most of their bike stock now so we are on our own......We still have most models instock and still available. We have had our first drop of Stolen branded Bmx's arrive, the ones we are waiting for are the GLOW IN THE DARK Sinner model, Most of the bikes coming in are pre-ordered, there is still ONE left, when its gone thats it until February, jump in there quick and let us know if your after one of those.
Kids mountain bikes are also starting to move, At the minute we have no immediate concerns of running out of bikes,although its difficult to guage what will sell and when, I will keep you updated if there are concerns....
Adult bikes again are just starting to move, there are a few bikes already gone for Christmas, however at the moment we have similar stock available to get around the gaps, We also have updated SALE prices on some of the £500-£1000 bikes, if your in the market for something along those lines, pop in for the latest prices.......
Well, well, well (27th Oct 09)
Friday saw our penultimate delivery of Bmx bikes arrive, We now have around 40 of the expected 50 2010 Bmx bikes instock (thats as well as our existing 15 or so bikes!!!!. The latest drop included the missing Eastern bikes along with the entire Blank range, Fridays mission was to get everything built and shipshape for a productive Saturday..... Well a 5am finish was not originally on the cards but hey, the customer comes first. We have been diplaying ALL 50 or so of the BMX bikes infront of the shop on a Saturday, although instore during the week we only have space to display half of the 2010 Bmx as we just don't have the space, If you want a look Saturday is the best day to see them, failing that bear with us any other day and with a bit of juggling we'll let you see the bikes in the flesh.....
We still have some pretty good deals on road bikes, 2009 has been a great year for both ourselves and Claud Butler with these ranges, to the point where like the Bmx bikes what we have is it this side of Christmas.
We are stock piling all of our popular models of both adult and kids bikes over the next few weeks so that regardless of Claud Butlers stocks we still have plenty in, I would advise though, if there is a bike you have decided on for a Birthday or Christmas present to let us know, If we haven't got it or Suppliers are out of stock it gives us time to sweet talk a few of our friendly reps to try and find what your after. It would also save any disappointment if a model becomes more popular than we expect. Thats about it for now.....
Another busy weekend ahead....With the next 2010 drop of bikes hope fully arriving today 19/10/09 its looking like another heavy session of building new bikes.
Another worthy note is slow progress is being made on our new warehouse, Ben who started with us in August, is going to run and expand the web side of the business, we are working with the long term aim of running our own we shop. Things within the shop will remain un-changed beyond better pricing and a more varied stock. Simon.
