Zimbale North America LLC address
In my experience
Peter White,
Wall Bike,
VeloFred, etc. seem to have
quite a few Carradice models in stock. If they don't have what you need, there are a number of UK vendors (ex:
Wiggle,
SJS Cycle) that will ship to the U.S., sometimes for less than the U.S. vendors charge.
Yes, you outed me. I have used and sold Carradice products and they are fine. However, the inconsistencies in availability are notorious. That's the reason we started selling Zimbale. They make a very nice product which is readily available. I try to be transparent. If my post came across as "disinformation", I apologize. Of course I would like to increase sales, but I try not to make blatant sales pitches....just contribute to the topic on hand and hopefully provide some value. We also sell touring products at the
Bike Touring News Store Posting here is hopefully not construed as "disinformation". We always try to add value to the conversation. Again, I am attempting to be transparent. If I am violating some forum rules or creating animosity by posting here I will stop.
