    All items withdrawn from sale

    Hubjub has been sold and the frames are included in stock transfer to new owners. Still interested? When the new number is published in a few days feel free to drop the business a line.

    Nordavinden Frame sold

    Apologies to anyone who missed out. I just dropped price on my last three brand new frames (48cm) here - was £499 now £380. This is now eligible for my current 20% late autumn sale discount.
    Yasujiro and beige commuter still available.
    More stuff coming next week

    I have played around with the priorities of the discounts but I think it might have been working already. Essentially the discount applies to the price excluding VAT. If there is something that you can put with the crank it should just about tip it into the bigger discount. Rest assured the Sugino cranks are much cheaper than they would be if we had to re-order - we managed to get those in before the currency tanked with EU referendum last year.

    I'll have a look today. I thought I had given the 20% discount priority on the system, meaning that it ought to have over-ruled the 10% when the order is eligible for both (as in your case).

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I have put on a discount to liquidate as much stock as I can before the business sale. This gives the future owner a clean sheet without boxes of what may - for them - be considered legacy cruft. £100 gets you a 10% discount. £200 and above gives you 20% off.

    So, dear forum member, see how you get on. If you have problems triggering the reductions let me know. All going well I will notify our full mailing list next week, so you might want to take advantage now whilst there is still a relatively complete range of stock! Don't wait on the assumption I will make further web reductions. It is more likely I will take rejected (by business buyer) leftovers on the road to various bike jumbles next year.

    Head over to Hubjub and fill your boots!

    Thanks for this. Evidence if needed that the future custodian of Hubjub will likely receive support from the community should they need it. I would really welcome a consortium of riders who wanted to take on the business as some sort of collective where several skills could be combined to make a really kick-ass business.

    I think the bike industry is becoming more professional corporate, but does mean that man-and-dog garden shed operations will struggle, unless the intention is for a lifestyle business only. Co-operative style ownership and/or operation might be one means to get the required scale and diverse skill base needed to compete.

    Yasujiro SlimXE track frame 53cm.

    Track frame with traditional level top tube geometry. This is a chromoly (4130 under Tange label) plain gauge lugged construction. Two bottle cages. Included is the sticker set (this is a few years old so whether they still adhere is anybody's guess) and a black headset (1.1/8")

    £180 or offers.

    I have an expression of interest on Rawland that is still to play out - so I will advise it comes available. I also will accept offer on the brand new 58cm left in stock. Currently that is retailing for £499 including shipping but can go lower to clear. If I can liquidate large items like frames prior to selling the business it will help me make the business more portable and reduce risk of taking on dead stock to the buyer. So all reasonable offers will be considered!

    Cromoly singlespeed / fixed wheel commuter frame £165

    Supplied with matching fork. All powder coated in a beige off-white.

    This is a brand new single speed frame. Non-aggressive geometry with fairly long seat stays. I regret I have not got the geometry chart to hand but the seatpost (C-T) is 53cm and the virtual top tube 56cm. The steel is chromoly butted main tubes. I am told by the originating factor this frame is identical to a Pearson single speed model of a few years back.
