Herts - A new company I had not heard of

[raymee]

I noticed a website for a company on my doorstep selling conversion kits and converted Bikes, I took a quick visit today, these guys are serious operators, obviously having other Business interests, they were loading a truck with 200 converted bikes for a Polish Customer, in talking to them they have not advertised in the UK but they are now preparing to trade in the UK - big time I think..I got offered a job !!!! Converting bikes is not for me but if anybody fancies it you could contact them electricbike-conversions.com

200 bikes in a truck? that truck must be about 60ft long.
in case you haven't noticed, it's raymee's first post.

I think it's a typical error of using .com instead of .co.uk.

And if I've told him once, I've told him a million times to stop exaggerating.
200 bikes!

From the i-bike bicycle recycling site:

Start a campaign to collect enough useable bikes, (400-500), bike tools, spare parts and accessories to fill a 40 ft high cube container.

OK, so they aren't boxed, but that's not just bikes, it's all the other quoted stuff as well. Wrapped instead of boxed, I think 200 new bikes double decked, with handlebars in line and front wheels off is possible.

Their BBS 01 is over £200 more than the competition with a less powerful battery.

Something not quite right somewhere.

The OP says the company is 'on his doorstep' and the thread title mentions Hertfordshire.

The company in the link is in Stoke, Staffordshire.

I called on them last year or the year before, it's an industrial unit well tucked in amongst others. All locked up and nothing says 'Buy me'.

Doesn't say they don't have other units in operation and a phone call for an appointment would no doubt have someone appear.

They sell Juicy bikes, I would think that would be stopped if at it was at all iffy.

Croxden,

All I meant was the company in the link is not the company referred to by the OP because it's in the wrong place.

They might have a branch in Hertfordshire which routinely sells 200 bikes to Poland, but it doesn't look like it.

I like things to add up too.

I expect the 200 bikes were nicked and what the OP happened across was the thieves handballing them into a lorry for swift - and unofficial - export to Poland.

Just because the OP mentioned Poland, doesn't mean to say that they are thieves.
There are members of the forum that are Polish, does that mean that they are thieves too?

Mat,

Did I or the OP say the people loading the lorry were Polish?

But while you are on, my kitchen tap is leaking, so could you pop round one day to fix it?

I'll be round in about 10 mins with my spanner.

BTW, I promise to behave from now on

if they were really Polish I will be the first one to fined out. TBH all this sounds to me like a gypsy scam (no offence to gypsies)

... or maybe they were Bulgarian, it;s easy to get them mixed up

all the best

How did we get onto international Roma gangster networks?

I also think this thread should have gone in the 'racism' section.

But yeah they are charging way over the odds for their BBS01 kits.
