I was actually thinking of taking a day off work! Sneaky 4 hour drive, maybe come back with something I have to explain :clap:

Wouldn't be guaranteed as you need to submit a bid which then gets evaluated. Not like you can drive down, but a bike and head home.

Ok Ryan let's put the PayMent Broker into ryanPMB, what's your charge?

Sounds like you want them all for yourself :ph34r:

Not a BMC fan myself. I bought parts stock on the previous 'auction' in a similar manner (bid submission etc). In this regard I may have some bids on some bikes - so some frames maybe heading into the classifieds soon.

I would bet my bottom Dollar Cycle Lab and Solomons (and possibly Cajees) would have put in big offers already.  If I recall Cycle Lab bought some stock already in the middle of this year and were selling a few BMC MTB's at good prices for what you were getting.

So did anyone get something off the auction?

 

I got a carbon HT frame that I intent to use to build my wife a XC bike.

Friend got 2x dual sus 26ers for a REALLY good price and a very tall other friend got a road bike for an okay price.

Ok...

 

I called them on Friday and asked how they let people know. They said that both successful and unsuccessful bidders would be called on Monday (today)

Just before any smart person starts rumours about why they closed, just think carefully what you're about to post. I've worked and ridden for Velo Life since they started.

 

Catlike Helmets were never "only" in Velo Life stores, they just were associated with them because they did the most sales of the helmets.

 

Our company Motion Cycles has been importing Catlike even before Velo Life started.

 

So if you have had a problem with either Catlike, Selle SMP or Tune products, you know again know where to go...

 

Liquidation wise - There is a much bigger store behind all of this. Leave it at that or contact Johann directly should you think you know the store...

And... they've arrived...

 

All the budding entrepreneurs are advertising their successful bids already...

 

ProfitProfitProfit...  ;)

 

Expect a rash of Bergamont and BMC's. I was keen to put a bid or two but didn't in the end, just forget to be honest. I wonder what a lot of these when for and what the mark up is for those floating about? 50%? A couple seem to be at very decent prices in the classifieds so who knows what the winning bid was.

Granted, the reply was probably typed as a rapid response to the comments on this thread but what he says is true - there's a lot that went on behind the scenes that the average bikehub Joe is unaware of.

 

I will vouch for Jaco. He's a good chap, running a good show in Motion Cycles. Great products and great service.
