Where Are The Mountain Bikes?

By on February 18, 2021 in Aktuellt

Vital MTB’s The Inside Line podcast talks to Joe Graney, CEO of Santa Cruz Bicycles. 

“Welcome Mountain Bikers! Did you know that Santa Cruz had shipping delays this year because they couldn’t get cardboard for their bike boxes? That is the kind of world we’re living in right now and on today’s show, we talk with CEO of Santa Cruz, Joe Graney, about the current state of the bike industry and bike availability. “

“CEO of SANTA CRUZ BICYCLES Interview – Where are the Mountain Bikes?” (<click here!>)

There are bikes around at the moment but only in limited sizes and colours.  If you have any questions contact us or come in store to discuss options as 2022 bikes are going to sell fast when they are available!

New Year, New possibilities

By on January 15, 2021 in Aktuellt

Welcome to 2021! Who would have thought we’d make it this far!? Hopefully we can all see some light at the end of the Corona tunnel, whilst avoiding the Brexit bridge and presidential potholes! 

One thing that we will have to content with though, is the disruption to ’normal service’ with regards to suppliers and the supply chain in general. You may have already noticed that some parts/bikes/accessories are not in stock as usual and when we check on expected dates, we’re talking in some cases about several weeks and even months before we see items being back in stock.

IT’S NOT OUR FAULT!  It’s no ones fault!  It’s not clear to see exactly where responsibility lies, it’s just a result of what’s been happening worldwide. We, along with our suppliers are working hard to find solutions, alternatives and ways around the different barriers we are facing, however – sometimes we just can’t do anything more than wait! We thank you in advance for your understanding and patience. It’s not just us, it’s not just our suppliers and it’s not just our industry, so we know we’re all facing these kind of issues elsewhere, but we understand it can be frustrating to not have the convenience of parts on demand or every option readily available – we’re all going to have to rethink our habits and, thinking positively – we might just come out a bit better off for it! Who knows!

With regards to specific products, we can tell you that bikes for 2021 will be in very short supply. Santa Cruz, Transition, Specialized, Rondo, NS…it’s not just one, it’s all. We do have some bikes in stock and there are more on the way, but delivery dates will be much later than usual. Most will be seen in the second half of the year and will be seen as 2022 models. MEN! always ask. We can look at individual models/sizes/colours and specs and you might just be lucky! There are some bikes out there, so there’s always a chance! We’re looking at options to do more custom building (if complete bikes aren’t available) as in some cases frames are more likely than a complete bike.  

Parts and spares will also be slightly different this year. We’re trying our best now to make sure we have good pre orders for parts in the system and we’ve invested in much higher stock levels of certain parts to try and make sure we don’t run out through the season. Usually if something isn’t available from a supplier, we see dates of perhaps 1-4 weeks until it becomes available. Annoying, but nothing we can’t usually cope with. Now we are seeing dates in excess of 20 and 30 weeks! We’ve had to source alternatives already with some items as we’re not sure we will see them at all during 2021. This means for you that on occasion we will offer you something you might not be familiar with, however we’re trying our very best to make sure we are confident in the product with regards to both it’s compatibility and it’s performance before putting it on the shelves.

Other than that, all is normal!! Hopefully we can have a minimally Corona affected season. Maybe even some races and after bikes again! Thanks for your support during these difficult times, it’s absolutely essential for us! If you have anything you think we could be doing better, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and let us know! Send a message on FB, write us a letter (?!) call or of course come in – respectfully adhering to our social distancing guidelines! 

Happy Trails!

8 År

Wow! 8 years ago! Hopefully my swenglish has improved and our products and services have grown into something I know I’m proud of!

It’s been a fair old roller-coaster on the way, but hopefully we’ve got a few more corkscrews and G turns to make in the future!

All of this wouldn’t, of course, be possible without you, our customers. So, Thankyou for shopping locally. Especially during these unusual circumstances. It’s appreciated, it’s important (vital!) and most of all it makes it all worthwhile! Please, this Christmas, think about your shopping habits and support your local EVERYTHING! We certainly need your support now more than ever and most. coms won’t miss you when they’re gone! You never know, we might be able to help you with something in the future!

Stay safe. Håll avstånd. Ride hard!

Today

 



Winter is coming….

By on November 20, 2020 in Aktuellt

The change in the clocks and the weather means we need to get our bikes setup for riding during autumn and winter in wetter, muddier, darker and hopefully snowier conditions.

Good morning and Välkommen Specialized Bicycles!!!

We can finally tell you that we’re now a Specialized dealer!

We’re concentrating on a tight range of MTB, eMTB and gravel bikes initially, along with some accessories and helmets.  Of course this also means we have servicing options now on Brain dampers as well as spare parts.

We have Turbo Levo SL, Status and Diverge instore now, with more to follow as and when bikes become available.  Hopefully a socially distanced, bookable demo evening will also happen very soon for those interested in riding an eBike or trying a new Epic.  We’ll let you know ASAP about that…
