Wiggle and Focus

bontie

So the Focus Izalco frame in classifieds had me thinking. They are quality frames and I have always quite liked them. I went onto wiggle's site but found none of the 2012 bikes. Other google searches led me to other sites, which did not online deliveries of Focus bikes, collection in store only.

Has wiggle and Focus severed ties?

eh

Yep Wiggle are no longer a Focus dealer from what I heard. As i understand it Focus messed up when they did the original deal with Wiggle as they thought they were a distributer not an internet retailer. Regardless if you want a Focus now you'll have to go to your LBS.

Ta, That clarifies. I think both parties are going to regret this...

I'd guess its a much smaller % of Wiggles turnover.

I thought this thread would be about photography while dancing and it was nothing of the kind. I blame Wiggle

Are Focus admitting that they were in the wrong here, or have they gone down the inevitable "b***e W****e" route?
