DARTMOOR BIKES UPDATE - Me ceasing importing the brand
After a couple of tough years for the bike industry after the highs of COVID for most importers, I've made the tough call to end my relationship with Dartmoor Bikes.
What I have in stock will be it, so jump on a deal as the prices are low and lean.
I'm not ceasing operations, as I'll still be servicing bikes and offering hand-built custom wheels that are built to order.
For me personally, things were at their best prior to COVID and the Ukraine war as supply lines have became very stretched after these significant global events. Getting goods directly from Dartmoor Bikes HQ in Poland become slow and more costly, and combining orders from the factories that make their products was impossible as they get them made in numerous factories that are not local to each other.
I was not prepared to throw the exorbitant extra costs onto my customer as I always want Dartmoor Bikes under my watch to be a great bike sold at a amazing price so people can share my passion got the brand. It was never about making bank.
I am still a massive fan of Dartmoor Bikes and will continue to ride their products in the future.
Thanks to Andy, Kornel and Wojtek at Dartmoor Bikes for always having my back through good and bad times.
