BIKE SHOW ADVICE

[nosherduke996]

HI ALL, CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUY THINGS AT THE BIKE SHOW.i HAVE BEEN TO VARIOUS EXHIBITIONS AND YOU CAN,T PURCHASE ANYTHING AT ALL.

 

[HeartAttack]

Nope its a show not a sale event, however there will be a clothing area that you can buy from, but don't expect to save money, it'll be loads cheaper to buy online

Just an eye candy show really, but handy if you are looking at something and want to compare whats available

HELLO. NO PROBLEM, YOU CAN BUY LOADS OF THINGS AT THE TRADE STALLS, BUT THE BIKE MANUFACTURERS DON'T SELL ANYTHING AT THE SHOW. THEY JUST...ERRR...SHOW THINGS.

Do not take the credit card...just in case !

And see if you can get the Caps Lock off as well, if you could!

IF YOU TAKE THE TROUBLE... Sorry, if you take the trouble to look at the Cycle 2009 website, you'll find the reference to the Cycle Store....

But apparently, not capitals?

As an exhibitor at the show I have had the selling policy very clearly explained:

******
Items that can be purchased outside of the Cycle Store, previously known as 'Retail Zone', are limited to: videos, books, energy drinks/food bars, maps, including mapping software and hand held mapping devices, plans, insurance, subscriptions, coaching advice, memberships and CYCLE SHOW 2009 merchandise. No other exceptions apply.

Solely within the area of the Cycle Store the below list of items can be purchased:
- Fabric Cycling Apparel
- Jerseys, Shorts, Trousers, Socks, Cycling Underwear
- Cycling Overshoes, T-shirts, shoes, helmets
- Cycle Lighting
- Bags
- Sunglasses
*******

Thankfully back issues of Velo Vision are counted as 'books' (I checked) so we can sell them at bargain show rates on Stand D30

SARCASM is the lowest form of wit

Keyboards are accessories and not a capital investment?

But vey effective, and it's not as rude as shouting!

Actually, I didn't note any sarcasm, just a request to use the 'acceptable' form of posting!

But, I hope you find some bargains! Maybe bikepete will give you a CC discount if you twist his arm enough.
