Brettoll Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Although not a lot has been posted on the TMS website... TMS SHOP I was wondering if these are going to grace our shores through Tarty at all?? Cheers, Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I know how you could find out! Seriously though, we thought about it - however, would anyone pay £450+ for the frame? Edit: Ok, so usual story, the manufacturers are selling them direct on their web shops cheaper than they tell their retailers to sell at... Doesn't give us much confidence to stock them, since you can buy direct for £100 less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I hate it when manufacturers do that. Why give retailers no incentive to stock your product by selling them cheaper yourselves? Chances are, they will sell less frames because a big group of people will only buy what they see as the selection from Tarty. By selling a shipment to TB, at a price they can sell them on at, they'll only have to package once and will sell more units. This way, they have to market them harder to get people to buy direct, package them all separately for every order, and deal with any problems direct too. Crap business sense, in my humble opinion...

Brettoll Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 It is a rediculous business model though. You would think that by keeping it at the value that you are selling it for through a vendor (especially someone like tarty) would give you the wider target audience and would remove the negaivity from vendors.

Phatmike Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 welcome to the world of trials manufacturers I'd rather not everyone got lumped into that judgement! Pretty shocking that TMS are selling them for less than wholesale There's not even any info about the frame on their website, just a thumbnail.. Are they made in the same factory as the Inspireds? The headtube gusset looks pretty similar as the 4play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 yeah your right, Trialtech/Inspired are pretty good. I don't think it's made at the same factory, the amount of time Dave put into finding the place would suggest not anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) What about your products mike? Any going TB's way?? (I want some Pads and Phluid at some point in the future and have no paypal ) Edit: another 24 that I never heard of cos TB don't stock it http://www.trial-bikes.com/ozonys-king-dunce-street-frame-p-53632.html?azx=978 There's also a TGS 24 on there as well. Thoughts please. Edited November 5, 2010 by CC12345678910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 There's been info floating around online about those 24" frames for a while. Damon's got an Unruly built up here. Worst name ever for that street one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts please. Maybe because they're brand new out? Too similar to inspired and onza frames? The TGS frame is the one that Damon Watson has just got right? So it's really really new. Wouldn't balme it on Tarty they can't stock everything available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 It is a rediculous business model though. Not if your not planning on selling many, why give someone else about 40% of pure profit away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 What about your products mike? Any going TB's way?? (I want some Pads and Phluid at some point in the future and have no paypal ) Still waiting for Tarty to decide on that one. In the meantime, you can pay using paypal without actually having an account, but using a debit/credit card. Or simply get in touch via the site, and we can arrange payment via bank transfer or cheque etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
