Hands up everyone who hasn't bought from Chain Reaction or Wiggle in the last year .....

The good news is that we are buying more bike stuff. Just buying it differently.

Oh no, they're excellent. Ordered some stuff on the Sunday evening before Christmas not expecting to see it until closer to the New Year and it arrived on Christmas Eve! Top service.

Some cycle stores need to change their attitude & also embrace some modern thinking & apply it to their business model.
Although I have no retail experience I have found one or two reasonably lbs to be off hand & stuck in a bygone era.
Refused some work on one bike because I didn't buy it from them !!
Lunacy.

[QUOTE 2856744, member: 45"]This isn't the case with Dotbike. Personal and thorough responses to emails, items sourced if not listed. Really good service.

I suspect that they're not able to compete with the bulk-buy big stores.[/quote]
I am sure it's not & I don't know this store.
Just a quibble about a couple of experiences I had & sometimes they end up wondering what went wrong with their business.

Another email from DotBike stating they are having a massive stock clearance sale, when it's gone they will close.
