Hi Phresh

Come to Presteigne, we will be showing all three of the 905 Models.

We will also be holding an open day in July at Sammy Millers Motorbike museum in the New Forest if it's easier for you.

Best regards David

I've just been in touch with David @ Wisper Bikes.

Apparently the new 905's arrived in the UK last week and are currently going through customs.

They should be with Wisper either Friday or Monday ready to distribute next week.

Hurrah

(Hope I get mine in time to take it to Presteigne )

What I dont get is how whisper can track their bikes from dispatch to coming into the UK, though other suppliers (wont name) have no idea about their bikes til they arrive on their doorstep.
Outstanding work Whisper anyway !

Wisper are both the manufacturer and the supplier, they own and help run the Chinese company. That makes it dead easy.

I think its dead easy anyway Flecc but you know how i feel and we wont go down that road.
But again great work for your customers Whisper.
Got any feathers in your cap to hand out Dave?

Wisper Bikes · May 15, 2008

Feathers?

Hi Burnie

I wish I had a cap never mind a feather! I do have a beer though, for the garden!

It is a little easier for us, but I do sympathise with 50 cycles. The Chinese are especially good at telling you what you want to hear, especially when it comes to dispatch dates!

We have learned (recently) that until we actually see the component, we don't tell people it is coming!

Our biggest problem has been with Shimano (Japan) who are massively late with deliveries at the moment. To finish our last 300 bikes necessitated buying the Alivio dérailleurs and free wheels in Spain and shipping them to Shanghai! Some on the container that has just arrived here have Tourney on them but we have shipped enough Alivios here to the UK to cover them if buyers want to change them.

I look forward to seeing you in Presteigne, let's hope the weather holds out or I will ditch that cap and sport a rather fetching sou'wester

.

All the best David

That gets my vote, and something any supplier could follow.

That means you get told: "Delivery date unknown" until two days before it arrives to you.

Wisper Bikes · May 15, 2008

We have eyes in China too.

Hi Eric

I meant when we see it in China.

When we have the component in Shanghai we talk about it so it is still at least 6 weeks from UK.

All the best David

Wahooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Not only coming but are here

Going to pick up my Wisper 905SE city tonight. The excitement has reached fever point. Reminds me of christmas eve as a kid

A full report will follow after a few thousand miles on the clock ( probably next week )

Went to pick up the bike - I have been sent the Sport instead of the City Commuter one.

Fine looking machine though

Meet up pedelecky people??

I'm staying at the Radnorshire Arms tonight complete with wife and 3 children but would love to meet any of you guys whose gems of wisdom I read; I think I should be releasable from parental duties (arriving about 7pm) so I don't know if any one wants to meet in the Radnorshire bar (get the bar staff to search me out??) or leave a message for me {the Turner family} as to where anyone is meeting; we have two family members running the Race for Life in Bakewell on Sunday so will be shooting back at end of Saturday, hence me being proactive about meeting gurus like flecc and the Wisper boys who have been most helpful in my enquiries (still not bought my bike! ....but will bring a car rack!!!). Is jimmyin england coming cos I'm intrigued by previous posts you've sent.

Please ignore this suggestion if inappropriate!! Phil.

sorry above post was supposed to be in "Presteigne" thread - serves me right for having too many pages up on the computer at once, Phil.

Hi Brizzle boy

Ooops

After all my chat about "we won't say we have them until we see them" this early container has arrived with all sports!!

The June container will have a mix of Sports and City S's.

As Elephants says, we would be pleased to "cityfy" them with our complements, (actually you got a better bike in my opinion with magnesium front forks and disk brakes!)

So full length mudguards are available FOC if required to all those who ordered City's and are disappointed. The racks are already in the boxes.

All the best David

BrizzleBoy · May 18, 2008

beauty

No problem David - with cable tie or 2 I have been able to fit mudguard with rack in place.

36 hours in I am absolutely delighted as my concerns regarding how the bike would deal with my petite frame of 6ft 3 and 17 st have been dispelled - will post a detailed report after a few weeks commuting. Have already annoyed a chap on a racing bike

JohnInStockie · May 18, 2008

Many congrats BrizzleBoy, I tried one of these today at Presteigne and was suitably impressed.

I hope you both are very happy together

The Wispers are coming!
