Thanks

Provisionally dibsed pending collection this weekend

Hello,

We're selling a medium black Omnium Cargo on behalf of a good customer

2017 Omnium Cargo medium (55cm) in black
SRAM Rival 1x11 groupset, new drivetrain fitted less than 100 miles ago
SRAM Level T Hydraulic brakes
Deda finishing kit
Selle Italia carbon rail saddle
Alex 700c rear wheel / Teravail Cannonball 700x33

The frame has a few marks and scuffs from being a coffee delivery bike in the local area.

We're regularly serviced and maintained this Omnium from new, it rides really well and has just had a full service.

Collection from Bournemouth preferred (from Velo Domestique cycle cafe) but we can deliver for petrol money.

£1200 - SOLD PENDING COLLECTION

Cheers

Dan

It is indeed a medium WiFi

I can vouch for stedlocks, and yes his dogs are just as awesome in real life

It's Blurple, what more do you need to know?

Hey,

I run an Omnium dealer shop in Bournemouth, we're selling a medium black Omnium Cargo (not mini max sorry) on behalf of a friend, it's 2017 with 1x11 Sram Rival groupset, it's got all the wear and tear of a bike that age but otherwise it's in great working order, the drivetrain is very new, less than 100 miles on it, we've just given it a full service as well. They're looking for about £1200 for it. I'm about to list it on here but let me know if you're interested.

Thanks

Dan

I am placing an order with Larry vs Harry if anyone needs any accessories or anything small please let me know, ideally in the next 24 hours

Helping our friends sell their much loved Omnium Classic Cargo in medium, Apex1 groupset which has recently (sub 200 miles) had chain and cassette fitted. Probably sell around the £1200 mark

Also have an Omnium backrest which could be sold with or seperately

If anyone is interested let me know

based on what it was like to bring in Omnium when it was direct import, it will probably be slower but yeah since Covid/Brexit/energy prices/increased storage costs having a UK distributor for cargo bike brands just doesn't seem cost effective without adding cost to the final RRP

Not relevant to everyone on here but in our neck of the woods (Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole), our council has just released a 50% match funding business decarbonisation grant which can be used to purchase a cargo bike.

This is part of the UK Shared Prosperity fund so I'd expect to see quite a lot of these types of grants popping up elsewhere, in some areas, like Bristol City, the grant distribution has been delegated to the local BID to determine who gets it.

It seems like sole traders (self employed) people would be included in this funding, they definitely are in the BCP funding.

Also as an aside Larry vs Harry have gone back to distributing directly to UK stockists, which has (in theory) brought the price down on new Bullitt bikes.

No problem, we're in an area with loads and loads of dog owners who like to take them to the beach, so to non 'cyclists' they definitely appeal at that price.

Personally I wouldn't attempt to carry a child on it but yeah for pub runs, shopping and per transportation it would definitely do the job.

Looks like you have already found a solution but for reference we just got one of these Ridgeback Butchers for a customer, it's about 1/3rd of the price on an electric Omnium so with that in mind here's what we've noticed just from a set up point of view:
Cons

• battery charging set up is a lot less clear than Bosch or Shimano, i.e. there's no charging bars or similar
  
• it's heavy
  
• the rails around the rack are quite flimsy
  
• there's no cap for the front rack head tube so it looks really ugly without the rack on it
  
• you can't turn the cranks whilst the bike is on its stand
  
• the lights aren't wired very well so we rerouted it
  
• the battery mount is quite flimsy
  Pros
  
• it has walk assist
  
• it has lights
  
• decent shimano components for the money
  
• built in euro lock
  
• battery is hidden
  Overall it's not a bad option for the money, especially as it costs less than a non electric Omnium but if you've ridden an Omnium, you can definitely tell the difference by a mile
  

I believe it is a small, but I'll measure up and confirm with pictures

Got a customer looking to potentially sell a complete Omnium Cargo (white) from 2017 with very low millage, just wanted to see if there would be any interest for it on here? It will definitely be sub £1,800

Hello,

We're organising a charity bike ride to We Out Here festival in Dorset in a couple of weeks (Thursday the 10th of August) and a handful of riders have dropped out. It is too late notice to advertise the spaces publicly but the festival have asked if we knew anyone else in the cycling community who might be interested.

Here's the deal:

• Sign up and pay £15 admin fee which covers the cost of your festival belongings getting transported from the ride start (Velo Domestique) to the festival, event insurance and a t-shirt
  
• Raise £200 sponsorship for charity via the JustGiving Page
  
• Cycle with us from Velo Domestique to We Out Here (roughly 22 miles)
  
• Get a FREE ticket to WOH festival
  
  

Understandably it might be hard to get sponsored by people who know you're a cycle enthusiast considering it's only 22 miles but even if you only get £100 sponsorship and then pay the rest you're basically getting a half price ticket (£215 normally).

If anyone is keen then drop me a message and I should be able to get you added to the list as long as you sign up to the Just Giving page and pay the reg fee straight away.

Any questions let me know. More details here.

If you order through your local LarryvsHarry dealer, they will be able to give you a UK price

Damn, bummer for the now unusable stock, had hoped for some kind of mod

Whilst we're talking about the Yepp Maxi, just so people are aware due to new EU regs THULE have had to change the mounting design so it uses side clamps instead of the original wedge system. This is fine except it means the Omnium child seat plate doesn't work anymore. Omnium are working on a way to alter the existing bracket to fit the new mounting system so it shouldn't be too long before that is ready.

Hello,

Customer of ours is looking to sell his e6100 Bullitt which he purchased in August 2020, it is in red and equipped with Nexus 5 Di2 and has a Madjax box with the cover, I think he will be looking for about £4200 (ish). It is in exceptionally good condition. If anyone is interested I can find out exact milage/asking price and put you in touch.

Pretty sure we have some in stock, I’ll check

Continental Cross Kings come in 29 x 2.0 and 20 x 2.0, I've found them pretty good for a mixture of surfaces, including Bournemouth seafront sand on occasions

again, not 100% if people are cool with me posting this but we (Velo Domestique) have a January bike sale on that includes some good discounts on Omnium classic options and Benno bikes

I can take this down if it is not ok

Happy to post, they're £8 a pair and we now have them in ready to roll

We've got some on order, should be arriving soon, I think they are pretty reasonably priced (sub £10) I can hold a pair for you, we're planning on keeping stock
