So, there's gonna be some changes going on at Cavendish Cycles in the coming months, as myself and my 2 colleagues, Will and Tom, are buying out the current owner.
I know a great deal of people on this forum have frequented the shop in the past and some of you who've been in recently may well have noticed that our stock levels have been poor if not somewhat non-existent, and to anyone who we've let down i can only apologise. Unfortunately we've been at the mercy of the current owner, who for some reason didn't seem to willing to put in the money to keep decent parts in stock. So when offered the chance to take over we've jumped at it.
The most notable initial change will be the shop name, it'll be changing to Fitzrovia Bicycles. Although the Cavendish Cycles name seems to be quite well known, we're also keen to mark a fresh start. It may take a few months for things to change to how we want them to be, as funds may well be tight for us to start with, but bare with us and we're hoping to make the best of it! We're seriously looking forward to making some exciting changes, and no doubt we'll keep you all posted on developments. Wish us good luck!
