Evening all.
Yesterday was a bit sad for me. Now to some this will sound like a sadact, but some will understand this so bear with me.
My bike is my car, it takes my children to school, to lots of fun places, carries a multitude of things, including the content of the house to self storage, even helping friends out. She's called Naughtybike purely down to how I ride and how she performs. It's been a blast, however with all the fun come the more grown up side of maintenance.
No worries thinks me as I thought the manufacturer would be able to source OEM parts, after all many companies used to offer after sales spares, or know where to buy spare parts from when things go wrong. In this case Chainreactioncycles, the Retailer has teamed up with the Manufacturer, who helped bring Vitus back to life (I could be wrong) and rightly so. It's good to see the brand back and some good value bikes too! But for replacement parts we hit a problem. Minimal parts are sold by CRC for the singlespeed Vee 1 and stupidly I'm unsure of what parts I need in the bike so I've had to speak to Vitus.
Top marks to Simon who's trying to see what he can do for me and Naughtybike.

Especially when both bikes have dedicated trailer mounts meaning I can use both trailers without hassle, even if Grumpybike needs a new QR skewer. But nonetheless making the best of a bad situation is all good!
But for now. It's time to sleep and think of what to do about Naughtybike and what awesomeness I can do with the kids this weekend if it stays dry!
Paul OUT! - Peace y'all
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan. I'm going to need it. Especially the way Grumpybike rides.
DeleteAlso from the tweets I received from Vitus this afternoon they'll be in touch next week. #Goodjob!
your clock needs adjusting, too!
ReplyDeleteEver since moving to a vanity domain it's been weird and out. It works every now and again but one day I'll try and fix it again.
DeleteOh heck - cracks are badddddd news. I hope you can fix her. I haven't cycled in months, hardly at all since I passed my driving test. Spooky coincidence that, Im not lazy *honest*.
