Ribble

[Smokin Joe]

What's with Ribble these days? They seem to have cut their stock to the bone, I'm looking for a pair of cycling shoes and all they have listed is one solitary pair of women's shoes. It's the same on components, whereas previously you could get virtually anything from them now the range is extremely limited across the board.

Are they in trouble?

Probably just stretched like many other retailers so not carrying too much stock. Time will tell.

They have been have a clear out of stock for months. Having been to a factory clearance day it was clear from the amount of stuff they had been carrying too much stocked for some time. Stock is dead money after all so a leaner stock control look's to have been taken.

I can understand that, but if they cut too much they'll shoot themselves in the foot. Shoes must be reasonable sellers and to hold only one pair seems strange.

Unless they are moving to different brand maybe ?

Probably trying to cut stock and concentrate on shifting "specials" like frames and groupsets using their website.
