TassieCycles For Sale
Postby RobRollin » Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:55 pm
Just heard that the buisness is for sale for $140,000, not sure that includes the lease of the building or not. Apprently the books are not up to scratch as alot of the $$$$ has gone straight into property, Harley's etc. Buisness has been on sale for awhile without any prosepcts.
Ad says "For sale leasehold business Same owner for the past 15 years. Good cash flow business, good location, owner willing to teach purchaser. Environment Friendly Business No Carbon Footprint Help people stay healthy and fit"

I have a lot of ideas about bike shops, having run a little shop myself before. I probably should keep those ideas to myself.
They lady said she was mainly interested in kids and family bikes. If your after a high end bike, go back into Hobart to KenSelf or some place. Her words, not mine.
But if you want a new Prologo saddle, they are distributed through Apollo, so you have to go to Tassie Cycles. I am sure a new Apolla road bike would be a good thing, but you would have to do all the ground work youself and get it ordered in. Nothing in stock.
So... back to square one for that shop.

Look at the other shops in Hobart and the only other shop which really caters for kids is McBains. I would never buy a bike from Kmart etc for my kid, I know how badly they are put together and the low quality frame for my reasoning I would never have my kid ride. So Tassie Cycles positioning themselves for the kids and family market is a niche market within the cycling industry.
Ken Self, Applebys, Treadlies and Cyclingp are aiming for the euro racer and MTB's. Although I have not been into Treadlies since I was 18 and Clingo was the man.
Tassie Cycles has a few problems of location, limited parking and you have to go out of the city to get to them. Treadlies has the same problem but caters for riders down past Tarrona where there is a lot of BMX'ers and free riders etc.
I would like to see Cycle Torque and Coffee in Hobart where you can meet for a latte and a ride. Although Dome make great coffees and you can find me there every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6am headed out with the crew.
So after all my this, I hope tha Tassie Cycles can make a niche into the market, change of name would help as well.

Treadlies have always been more MTB focused, and they have lots of kids stuff. They stock 2 or 3 road bikes but don't realy get into it.

Wow, I must have more "appeal" than even I imagined; many people have been "lol"ing me.
Cant be right!
I checked wikipedia.
Back to earth I came! They are all "laughing out loud" at me.
Crawl into a hole and hide.
Back on track. Do not lol when Rocket indicates a sprint coming up! Save the oxygen; you will need it.

Maybe we can organize rides from Tassie Cycles, or list you on the bike shop listing on the front page. I also have BNA brochures we might come to an arrangement to place in the shop?
Why did you stop trading Oppy's? Has another shop taken Malvern Star?
Have a good xmas, I hope trading has been good in this usually busy period!
