Skubarra Posted April 15 Share Any Kuilsrivier hubbers on here that might know whats going on at the Cyclosport bicycle shop? Have been trying to contact the shop for more than a week now, shop locked up when I visited, phone is not being answered. Website looks like its down and social media not being updated...

I have been going there for more than a decade. Now I just need to find a way to get my bike back that was there for a service.....

BuffsVintageBikes Posted April 15 Share Yes, very sad indeed. Good luck getting your bike back, I believe the shop might have been locked up by the sheriff of the court. There's a few suppliers nervous as well. betaboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily its my spare 12 year old enty level road bike (which ironically I bought there) so no hurry really - but lack of communication makes sense if it was the sheriff that locked the doors. Lets see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd just need to prove it with a service booking to the sheriff which might not be so quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All sorted out 👍 Sadly they are closing, a proper mom & pop shop that took personal interest in their customers. Will miss them a lot! openmind, Niel1, Mook and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very proud of the multicoloured Cyclosport jersey. The shop has been in the family since!! ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
