Got an email from Atelier de Velo announcing they were closing down and stock left over would be moved to other stores.

I am assuming that means either Bike Establishment or Le Spit Cyclerlyg-boaf wrote:There are other shops and I hear some of the staff are moving across to the other stores.
They are really clearing things out, I scored a helmet at okay price.
SOLA received an attractive offer from its new landlord following the sale of the building in late 2017 and has taken the decision to consolidate its retail trading to the two closest retail stores, being Le Spit Cycles in Mosman on the lower North Shore and Cheeky Velosport in Randwick in Eastern Sydney.
The CEO of SOLA Sport, George Nisbet had this to say about the news:
“What an incredible five years it has been having had the opportunity to own our first retail store and use it as the learning curve to learn about bicycle retail, become better equipped to understand the consumers who buy our products, get closer to our supplier partners in our industry and learn the commercial side of retail that has allowed us the opportunity to grow to four stores in five years! We have another two stores in very close proximity to Atelier de Velo and with the option to move the business to these other stores which are not far away, it became an easy decision once we evaluated the landlord’s offer.
