just went through the bike.cc comments (some good rants there, also towards road.cc) and the couple of blogs. whoa!

cant recall was this linked already or did I stumble upon it elsewhere, but a good read:

That mortgage is going to be tricky...

Rapha had an entire range of urban clothing in 2005 called FIXED that included jerseys, shorts, 3/4's, a backpack etc...

An entire range that consisted of a Fixed Jersey in 2005.

Fixed gloves came in 2006, then shorts & backpack in 2007.

And there was a fixed shirt.

“It’s a pretty bold statement to say you’re the best," starts Vulpine founder Nick Hussey, adding "but looking around, we are."

Person who comes across as a dick in turns out to be a dick shocker.

Obviously I'm not in possession of any of the facts, but I'm happy to speculate based on my prejudices.

Got that backpack.

Arggg! Just was about to return some of their shorts (ordered in the Easter sales) for a refund (weird fits) Will I never see the refund now? I know is not a big problem compared to those who invested in the firm but I don't wanna loose my moneis...shall I just keep the shorts?

There is no money

Is it "oficially" dead? Edit: next time will read the forum's brand thread before making an order +_+

What shorts and what size did you order?
sent some shorts back to them 2 months ago for repair and havent had them back so looking to buy some more!

On the front page now:

Matthew Wild and Guy Jackson of RSM Restructuring Advisory LLP were appointed Joint Administrators of Vulpine Performance Limited on 16 May 2017.

A number of companies have come forward to express an interest in purchasing the business. The Administrators have issued a deadline for offers of Noon on Thursday 18 May. Anyone interested in the Vulpine business and/or the Company’s assets should therefore contact either robert.young@rsmuk.com or zoe.percy@rsmuk.com immediately.

The Administrators are aware that there are a number of unfulfilled orders at present and will provide further direction to the Vulpine customers via this website in the next few days. In the meantime, the Administrators advise against placing any new orders via this website whilst efforts are made to secure a purchaser for the business. The Administrators are grateful to the Vulpine customers for their patience and will provide an update at the earliest opportunity.

Depending on the size of your screen you might completely miss that and just carry on shopping regardless. This is a screenshot from a 13 MBP.

Isn't that trading whilst insolvent? I thought that was a really big no-no.

Yeah it's odd. Also that deadline is long gone.

If they still have stock and can fulfil orders then the administrators can continue trading in order to maximise the assets for settling the debts. Obviously if they're just taking money and orders with a speculative hope that they may be able to fulfil the orders that's a different matter.

The above seems to be weird phrasing though.

They're currently not fulfilling orders, and have reset everyone's accounts so that the order history doesn't show up.

My order history is still showing. Waiting on 2 refunds and an exchange that I sent back the week before administration. I guess we'll find out in next day or so.

BHS did it.

Ha! I was lucky and that gigantic carousel image didn't load on my shoddy work connection, first thing I saw was the text!

Is there likely to be a sale of remaining stock if they don't get a buyer?

No, because the receivers will make a huge bonfire because that would be sensible.

You mean, like, a fire sale?
