Everything sold out

[Jonny ///M]

They've been a mess but as far as I know things will return to normal in a week or so.

We've had a bike this week after nothing from before Christmas.

 

[Mikey]

Ah fair do. I was going to get a Cube, but gave up after being told no hope so I got an Orange instead.

 

[Jonny ///M]

You made the right choice tbh. Things can change so don't wait around.

 

[Malevolence]

Makes me realise just how lucky I was to walk into the shop and ride away on the Cube. Wonder if that was one of the last bikes to be shipped over here?

 

[Jonny ///M]

We finally got the Reaction TM about a week ago! That bike did leave Holland before Christmas but with the border nonsense went back to Cube before shipping again.

We've also had a Cube Aim which has been on order from August or something silly.

Everything seem to be sold out on pc and fitness and more

Stock levels are so bad I’ve had to fix the indexing on my current crappy groupset instead of throwing money at the problem.

 

[SPG]

Lol, hard times !!

I was considering a new MTB but last week I put on a new rear & front derailleur, cassette and chain.
I've also ordered new gear cables and outers.

how much was all that out of interest as I may get my 97 Saracen PowerTrax serviced and upgraded slightly.

Are the shortages of stock down to Brexit or covid?

It's crazy how few bikes are available.

Two months ago I put my Forme Longcliffe v3 road bike on Marketplace for a bargain price of £100 used for only 4 months and I haven't had a sniff.

Both.
The factories closed due to COVID creating a backlog which they've struggled to catch up with. Then we've had Brexit and the shipping delays which has just made the problem worse.
I'm trying to get some new front forks, but it's looking like June

 

[Temujin]

I'm in this boat now, decided to make use of the cycle scheme at work and looking to buy a Vitus Sentier VR but they are forever out of stock and wiggle/CRC won't provide a quote unless it is in stock.

Hopefully i'll be able to get hold of one of their staff when stock actually drops but who knows. Basically all bikes in the price bracket (~£1200) are OOS everywhere: Trek, Nukeproof, Ragley, etc....

Bikes are coming they are just mostly sold.

We had a cube analog 17" for a day before my boss knocked it over and scratched it so it left at £650 down from £850.

We're expecting Cannondale trail 7/8/SE in June/July time.

Suez canal meant cube didn't produce bikes for a week apparently too.

Hopefully so, don't really want to be paying for the certificate for too long before I can get my hands on a bike, though i guess it doesn't really matter much..
Do you work for one of the big sellers?

 

[Jonny ///M]

You can get a certificate reissued no bother so don't worry about that.

Nah, I work for a tiny LBS so we're down the pecking order but will still get bikes in the coming months.

 

[Hodders]

@Jonny ///M out of curiosity whereabouts are you?

Do you deal with cube?

Any idea of the leadtime on a cube stereo 120 race ?

 

[Jonny ///M]

I'm up near Glasgow.

Last I checked all stereo were sold out. 2022 announced in June with bikes likely a few months later.

You might find a shop that is still waiting on one on back order but I doubt it.
