Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Hello all, I've got some purchases I'm wanting to make at Bike of a trialsy nature, but don't know which shops are going to be there? Does anyone know which ones are/have a list of which shops are there? Thanks for any help, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Papasnap Maher Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 select bikes trials shop dont worry mark, i think there will be enough to suid your needs :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I was guessing so, but I'm after a Creepy Crawler, and I couldn't really think of who stocked them apart from SuperCycles and TartyBikes :- Who is "Trials Shop", btw? I heard their name before, but know nothing about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 mark you should buy the stuff off shops that dont go to the bikeshow that you know actually have the tyres or parts you need. everything at the bike show is not as cheap as it used to be, i can remember going to the bike show for the very 1st time and it was "CHEAP" as you could put it, but nower days people pay so much for stands its not cost effective to start discounting it just means you have to sell 2 or 3 times as much!!!!! look at supercycles..............they aint had a stand their for (including this if they dont have one) 2years!!!!! cos its too much of a rip off....to hold a stand there. Waynio.................... my opinion but the bike show should be a place and an event that is cheap and cost effective not UN cost effective :lol: :- altho i am going i wont need to take any money,i tend to go to catch up with most of the trials lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Fair enough Wayne :- I was just thinking that for some of the Monty and Koxx stuff I want, I could get it from Cleanbikes at the show (I think they've got a stand) and wouldn't have to pay P&P, so I'm saving some money that way :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod_rider Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah I noticed that too, first year I went they were selling a DDG shooter frame and a set of maguras from Supercycles for £160, and that was a good 3-4 years ago when maguras were £120. Different now though. Still can't wait mind you :- Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 The only dirt cheap things you get at the bike show are/were Tioga tyres, Some silly red rims, Giant frames, MAD frames and Rob warner Pedals. And its pretty much standard kit to be walking round carrying all that gear lol wonder what will be popular this year? Should be interesting. see how many people you can snap with all that gear lol.

Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah, that was one of the memories from the last Show I went to ('03) - Fox jerseys, pairs of Tioga tyres and that was about it... Oh, and those wank £30 frames! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 They're sponsoring a load of the things like the Flatland course (although how you can sponsor a flat bit of ground I don't know). I guess it's the same as the way Right Guard sponsor the X-Games and stuff like that. Bandwagons and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jel Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 (edited) Chain reaction will be there with a 10% discount on everything :angry: . Cheers, josh. Edited April 1, 2005 by jel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah, but you've got to go into one of their 16 "Cyber pods" and order it over the interweb, as opposed to getting it there (it's delivered to your house at a later date). Still, 10%'s 10% I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
