The competition commission today announced that their is No case of price fixing against SA retailers and wholesalers. Bit quiet on this y'all huh? _________________________________________________________ COMPETITION COMMISSION WITHDRAWS CYCLE INDUSTRY PRICE-FIXING COMPLAINT Press Release: Friday 10 June 2011 The Competition Commission has sent notification that it has withdrawn its complaint against 28 retailers and wholesalers relating to alleged price-fixing in the South African bicycle industry. Notification was sent in writing on Friday that the Competition Commission has withdrawn its “complaint referral dated 25 June 2010 in CT Case Number 32/CR/Jun10 against all respondents in this matter in terms of Rule 50 of the Rules for the conduct of proceedings in the Competition Tribunal”. Andrew McLean, Director and founder of Cycle Lab, one of the retailers against which the complaint was made, confirmed on Friday that the complaint had been withdrawn. “Yes, we received notification from the Competition Commission today. It’s not really a surprise and it just confirms what Cycle Lab and other retailers have stood by along. As far as Cycle Lab is concerned, there isn’t and has never been any attempt at collusion to fix prices in the South African cycle industry. “Right from the beginning our attorneys examined this complaint and said there was no case to pursue. It’s just a pity it had to drag on so long and create an atmosphere of negativity. I would estimate this has cost the industry over R3 million in legal fees – just to prove that there was no case in the first place. “This was a top story in the mainstream news media when the enquiry was launched, the day before the 2009 Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour. Unfortunately this conclusion won’t even make headlines,” said McLean. The Competition Commission first sent out notification to Cycle Lab and 27 other retailers and wholesalers in March 2009 that it had received a complaint alleging collusion and intent to adjust prices across the industry.

Just had a call from Wendel to say that the racing is definitely cancelled for tonight! They hope everyone will join them for the next one.

If frame fatigue was an issue I would have a bike or 2 that should have fallen apart by now ....

What's the toughest part about becoming a road cyclist? Telling your parents you're gay Just kidding, welcome and enjoy mate

Sooner or later everyone wants to ride a Specialized - just stay with it

Anonymous - how will I sleep tonight

I keep hearing that 29ers roll right over the rocks and logs with ease. Why would you want that??? This is mountain biking, not road riding. I want difficult rocks to maneuver and show my skill. The closer I am to a wipeout the more fun the ride is. 29ers are lazy and want to turn mountain biking into a paved road thru the center of a forest, bahhh.
