  • hey all

    does anyone have the number for the uk distributor of sugino??

    cheers

  • It used to be Terry Dolan / Italian Solutions : 01695 581166

    Not sure if it still is.

  • Ison

  • I think all the shiny Sugino coloured bits come from EAI.

    Is CC going NJS?? ;)

  • ison don't stock all the cranksets and the one i need.........ill give terry dolan a ring see if he does them still

  • J.D Whiskers?

  • Bike shops don't seem to like stocking coloured 75 cranks, I know that much. Talked to Cavendish and BC recently (both great shops, not knocking them) about some black ones, both conversations went something like:

    Me: I was wondering if there's any chance of you getting some black ones in? 165mm?
    Shop: Black ones?
    Me: Black ones.
    Shop: We used to do them.
    Me: Any chance you will again soon?
    Shop: Ooh, well, dunno, we haven't ordered them for a long time now.
    Me: Any idea how much they'd cost?
    Shop: Well, it's hard to say really.
    Me: How much are your silver ones?
    Shop: £XXX.
    Me: Probably be more than those then?
    Shop: Maybe.
    Me: What with them being fancier and everything?
    Shop: I guess so, dunno...

    Neither of them said 'Ooh, we could order them in though, that would be more business for us!'.

    This would suggest to me they are distributed by a different distributor to the other stuff and/or the wholesale prices are not in the shops favour.

  • condor have the 75's in a few colours, black included for £140 in 165.

  • The margins on bike bits are minimal so thy probably couldn't be arsed...

  • Plus the exchange rate has put the price of things through the roof - you're looking ta close to £200 with a chairing now. Could maybe have been a bit more helpful. Try Condor or 14?
