CRC & Wiggle

[T4tomo]

I thought they were one and the same and usually have exact same prices and stock, so pleasantly surprised to find CRC website showing an £80 item for £48.

has something happened between CRC & Wiggle or did I just get lucky to spot the glitch?

Lucky, they're the same company but think they have different systems

Not looking good for them at the moment.

The guess is Ashley.

Whoever has bought the IP probably has their own internet sales / warehouses already up and running else why only buy the IP ?

Oh dear that that then!

Brexit had to have played a major part. As probably the biggest online cycle trader in Britain it is really hard to see otherwise.
Very sad news. Another major employer gone.

There goes the free shipping for anything over £20 if Ashley has taken over☹️.
Didn't realise he'd also got control over PBK as well.

Mike Ashley's got their sites up early - back to orange branding for Wiggle and Chain Reaction's original logo methinks.

Stock appears to be simply an online version of Evans Cycles, which is what I'd expect him to be doing. It's basically a couple of extra online branded storefronts of their back office, which are easy to do.

It's a no from me. Pretty poor selection over some categories e.g. wheels, one wheelset, everything else is single wheels. Jersey's - shows a Rapha jersey, but they don't even sell Rapha !

Just another shop front for Mike Ashley's usual jumble sale of crap.
