    Hein Gericke has folded

    All stores across the UK are closing

    http://www.hein-gericke.co.uk/

    Its a real shame as I always found the gear reasonably priced and made to fit real people. Also good to go to a bike shop that only sold clothing and accesories rather than a dealership with a small portion for gear.

    Good time to grab a bargain though as there will be at least 20% knocked off everything.

    I'm gutted as I'm working 60 hours over the next 4 days so can't get to a local store until Tuesday at the earliest, where I'm guessing the best stuff will be gone

    on the flipside of that, the crap stuff will probably have been reduced even further

    Apparently they're only offering 10% off helmets and 20% off other stuff. When you consider their never ending 'sales' the discounts aren't worth getting excited about. Apparently they have 8 weeks or so to find a buyer for the UK side so try them in 6 weeks when they're desperate to move the remaining stock.

    If it's only 20 points off that puts them square in the internet realm of pricing.

    I was gonna head over there and buy gloves and the wife a new lid but if there is only 10 off the lid that's not enough to make it cheap enough to buy there, and the gloves will only save me what i use in fuel.

    Shame though

    Just nipped in and got myself a £420 Shoei XR1100 lid for £250! Well chuffed
    Not much left in stock, doubt the shops will be open for much longer...
