Ralphk Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 In reference to the article posted on Chainwheel.co.za What utter rubbish. First of all it appears as if the various dealers have colluded to send out exactly the same sort of denial, as I received the same thing from cyclelab, saying exactly the same. What I want to know is, since when do competitors get together to help each other? What is more, if this was an "open forum" to benefit all in the industry, including, customers, why weren't any customers invited? Methinks there is something extremely fishy in the state of cycling in South Africa!

Moab Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Its the old CYA policy! (Cover Your Arse) There was a fishy smell so these guys are covering their butts with stinky paper. Welcome to the hub ralphk!

It would make more sense to use this opportunity to burn your competition - that's what I would do. The only explanation must be that they're telling the truth then. Glad we got this sorted!
TNT1 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I know... It's the same as when you find out one or two of the pro riders dope. I'm shocked. At least it's the same as doping though, only one or two of them are doing it.
markStockton Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 I wonder what effect an immunity from prosecution will have on one or two of the smaller LBS at the meeting. It would be a kinda win - win situation for them.
Ghostface Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 if wholesalers get taken down then it will be a lose - lose situation. No one will stock that store ever again.

AndreZA Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 did they say that they wanted to level the playing field re prices and that service was the deciding factor where shops make money? If that was the case then FP would not last very long because their service is shocking. .

splat Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 'Fritz Pienaar denies uncompetitive behaviour' Of course he does!
AndreZA Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 what people seem to forget is what they are doing/have done for the sport. .

If I remember correctly a Napalm substitute can be made by dissolving styrofoam (yes meat packing tray material) in petrol until the solution is completely saturated (ie - it won't disolve anymore).
