Not quite - if you read the front page of BNA you'll see a new distributor has been appointed.Baalzamon wrote:Another one is biting the dust. Yep Assos after all these years, got a card in the mail. Go check their website for details.

Went in a few weeks ago when they first announced they were closing and found it remarkable the closing down special prices were no different to the regular special prices they send out all the time.

They are promoting a closing down sale on assos.com.au noting that they have winter and autumn cycling wear - until March 31. 2013
I also didn't spot remarkable discounts but they may still come.

They didnt have 1 pair of medium gloves in the whole store a few weeks ago, yet the rack was full of all different colours. Its more like an advertise and get rid of the junk and old stock type sale while the stuff that will sell is going somewhere else.

Good thing there are so many decent, well priced alternatives now...petal665 wrote:Echelon have a room set up in their warehouse, that's it. It's very impressive though. Say good bye to any chance of getting decent Assos prices in Au as well. In fact, apparently Assos will be cracking down on online prices worldwide, We shall see if that is true.
