Foffa Bikes

This is the last post I am going to write on the matter since it seems like we are just running in circles now. There have been some valuable points raised and we will be taking them in consideration for the future.

Mechanical Vandal, let s assume you have purchased on the web all the parts that you listed from the cheapest online retailer out there. With the £164.10 difference that you keep mentioning, where do you factor in the tools to put the bike together and the knowledge to build the bike yourself? The service we provide is for the majority of cyclists that don't have the time nor the knowledge to build their bikes up.
The customers come in the shop and we guide them through the process of selecting the best parts for themselves, we offer post sales service and full warranty, so if you guys already have all the knowledge of all the components which the bike industry can offer, if you trust yourself on how to build a bike safely, if you have already invested in all the tools you need, then our bikes are not for you. If you don't have all of that, then our brand (considering it is not an OTP bikes manufacturer and the bikes are not built in China or Taiwan) is a very genuine business.

über_grüber, I merely quoted those prices cause these are the prices recommended by the distributors. What we or CRC choose to charge on these components is our decision, which will always be affected by our buying power. I never said that we are not trying to make a profit (I assumed that you knew the whole point of running a business is to make some) and the people and customers that know us would say that we are far from dishonest. As i said earlier if you think you can do better then by all means give it a go.

And thank you Andyp, Wiganwill, Howard and many others to give us some credit for what we do and all the valuable feedback.

All the best
