I checked out their so called Black Friday sale......complete rubbish!! RRP highly inflated and discounts only of any significance for very small or very big people....and yes, its mostly clothing.
Signa Sports with Liquidity issues .... (CRC/Wiggle/Bikester/Probike/Nukeproof/Vitus)
- Thread starter Zimmerframe
- Start date
Yes, perhaps Hope recalling their stock as it’s supplied on credit terms or similar?
I’m wondering if that’s what’s happened with some of the Vitus e-bike shipping issues. It’s a lot of money lost to being a ‘creditor’ if CRC/Wiggle stops trading before Vitus have been paid.
Just speculation on my part obviously, but once administrators are appointed it never seems to end well.

Does this mean that nukeproof will cease production ??? They have only just released the new megawatt
I don’t think anybody knows what this means, to be honest.
The Administrators will go through all sorts of options now, from financial through to selling either as a whole or in parts.
I’d be surprised if none of the various brands within the group weren’t viable, it’s now just a waiting game really.
Inconvenient for customers past and present, but I still feel for everybody whose livelihood is at risk.
The MegaWatt would have been in development for ages before the shit was even in the vicinity of the fan, never mind being flung around the building.
As far as warranty goes, all the components are covered by their own manufacturers warranty so it's only really the frame that's a worry.

Arrow don't think they'll be getting paid. If CRC want to carry on trading through administration, they'll probably have to work pro forma with their parcel carriers which in itself is a fast drain on cash. Been there & done that.

bye bye with that guarantee.
if you are unlucky with
that the frame is broken/cracked , you may well try to proceed with it legally via vitus directly i guess.

Do I risk buying that £30 Vitus balance bike for my niece for Christmas after all!

My daughter had one of those, she literally cried when I sat her down to tell her she was too big for it and we were gifting it to a smaller kid!
Even the Frog bike that replaced it was never loved as much!

I read that unlike the Wiggle/CRC car-crash, the folk running Islabikes are doing this voluntarily, they have just had enough, no longer enjoying it etc. They will be keeping a stock of spares and will be standing by warranty claims etc. Honorable.
Hi,
Could be a bigger problem at Signa as some of their ongoing building construction sites in Germany announce having trouble and concerns about realization.

Dunno why I didn't look sooner, but I have a CRC voucher for £5!
Currently looking for something for about that.
Edit:
Found (1) some zip ties for £4.99, but out of stock!
Found (2) a brake caliper alignment tool, reduced to £6.99. But my code is invalid!
So, either I have already used it some other time, or CRC have invalidated all their voucher codes.
I sort of knew I was wasting my time. I'm glad I managed to resist buying a massively reduced WTB 27.5 x 2.6 Trail Boss tyre. CRC, you are OVER!
