Customer of ours is potentially looking to sell their black 2018 eBullitt with Nexus 5 the steps battery needs replacing (about £450 I think) pretty sure she will be looking for about £2.5k, it hasn’t got very high mileage, just thought I’d post on here to gauge interest

Highly recommend speaking to any local bakeries and asking for a ‘confectionary tray’ much lower profile than most other plastic trays, holes in the bottom so easy to mount to the rack. If you order a whole tray of cakes, they might give you the tray for free

Here’s mine which served me well for many years:

pretty niche cargo option but the Omnium eMini and eMini Variant is down to £3165 from £3950 if anyone is looking for something compact and electric

This looks awesome, getting put through its paces already!

the sad thing is that a lot of customers committing to a purchase in the past two years have done so with a new found passion or focus on cycling, this forum included.

There seems to have had a big shift towards cargo bikes and seeing people make large investments (£3k+) into cargo bikes and then to have it met with a further price increases meaning their budget is stretched or pushed too far for them to commit is not a great way to start a relationship. Particularly when customers buying cargo bikes like to spend local to benefit from the often niche product support they would get from their local dealer.

The worst was having to tell people the deposit they paid on their bike back in 2019 that was meant to arrive by Christmas, was delayed by a virus no one had ever heard of, meaning it wouldn't arrive until after January 2020 when Brexit came into effect so to top it off they'd have to pay extra.

This is currently super common in the bike industry across the board with a lot of brands, from our experience it seems to be bigger brands that are doing this, largely ones who sell predominately in the EU and now have to come up with a new price for the UK. It seems the distros (or companies themselves) are coming up with a price just before shipping, based on the costs at that moment, to pass on to their stockists. I think it is because the delays on manufacturing and component shortages mean the wait time for bikes is longer than ever so the ability to estimate an RRP is harder (that's my guess anyway), particularly as Covid, WW3 and Brexit seem to keep pushing the price of moving anything anywhere up and up.

It's a bullshit position for bike shops to be in but many of the larger companies and distros have the attitude of 'well if you don't want it anymore there's loads of shops who will'. Some brands have also done things like last minute spec changes on smaller details like brake levers so the price stays the same but the quality the bike shop originally sold the customer has dropped.

Hey Andy,
I am yeah, we have stock of most Omnium options at the moment in some colour, including completes.

We don’t have any of the new Mini-Max kids seat brackets in stock as they only came out after our latest stock had been dispatched. Next order though we will be getting a couple in as they are pretty awesome (the cargo ones we’ve used are anyway).

If you have any questions or want to come test ride one just let me know

If this breaks rules I can take it down no problem but I thought I’d mention we have a sale on at the moment including some Omnium Mini Classic Frames and Completes

Omnium have a 20% sale on classic framekits at the moment so about £220 off

this is even better because it’s from Guten Biken, best bike shop name ever

If you’re looking for a cheap but effective single step ramp then Kerb ramps are like £10 each, we use some for various changes of levels along the side of our house to put our cargos away

This kind of thing seems to be pretty typical with Terns, the whole back end on the GSD is so full of tubing that it’s almost impossible to do even the simplest of jobs

Yeah we’ve got some in stock I think, if not then we can get some on the next Omnium drop (November some time)

‘ Public, community or third sector organisations are also eligible provided they are legally constituted, have a governing body, a democratically elected management committee and a governing document that has been formally adopted. ’ so basically any properly organised clubs or groups as well.

Sole traders can also apply

Also pretty certain Scotland already has (or has had) a 100% equivalent grant in place.

The main goal of this grant is to try and support the government’s (formally terribly named Green Mile) initiative that prevents the last mile of any delivery being made by a van or car as they’ve calculated this minor change would have a huge impact. This is why it’s focusing on businesses and organisations rather than individuals.

Rather than moan it doesn’t currently support your needs, why not see if you can encourage your local businesses to get involved, if this has a good uptake then the government might follow through with their eBike grant they’ve been muttering about for a while which would be available for everyone

Yeah it’s this not a £2.5k e bike, the last one was only 20% up to £1k so this is an improvement

I’m sure everyone is already aware of the new 40% eCargo bike grant but just in case here it is

I mean look at that rack

Remi Demi is such a sick bike.

Omnium are in the process of making the 2.0 of the above seat but they don’t have a release date yet.

Before their first version (in your link) I know Jumbo used to use an extender bar which he crushed the ends of (about an inch on each side) and drilled a hole through. He then put holes through the rack so they would line up and could be bolted in place, he then did the same thing with a supporting bar on either side (I think he just used two flat pieces of aluminium) and used old inner tubes on the sides to create a seat shape.

Hope that makes sense?

Hopefully these images are clear but this shows how a LvsH official pannier fits onto a Bullitt

Omnium Mini WiFis are back in stock if anyone is looking

If you're looking for new we've got a large WiFi Mini-Max frameset in Blurple in stock at Velo Domestique and can post

I can get some photos of this for you tomorrow

I have found the best way to get the most out of Magura brakes is start by putting them in the bin and finish by fitting any Shimano hydraulic brakes

LarryvsHarry do have their own pannier rack which you can get from any UK Dealer
