Anyone ordered from RaceView Cycles in Co. Antrim ?

Wow.
Wow.

What a spectacular own goal.

I would offer some marketing advice, but I’d be concerned that it might be seen as libellous.

‘I suggest some members

‘I suggest some members should base their written communications on fact and not assumptions. ‘

That new-fangled thinking is never going to catch on. This here’s the internet, boy.

Whoever they are I would

Whoever they are I would hesitate to shop with them.  The spelling, the strangulated English and the poor punctuation don’t inspire confidence.

Can we just clear up a few

Can we just clear up a few issues and assumptions here.

Race View Equestrian is the parent company for Race View Cycles.

The rest of the statements and correlations linking us with any other company or companies such as Shiny Bikes is incorrect.

We are an independent company, you cannot assume that just because Race View Equestrian operates out of a shop premises nearby to where they used to have premises is the same company. Race View Cycles office is based near Ballymena but the stock and orders are processed from our warehouse in the UK. This logistically makes common sense because 95% of our customer base online is the mainland UK, and overseas so logistically it makes sense to ship all orders from the mainland. This makes for a more efficient  service to our online customers.! Shortly our Equestrian stock and warehousing will also move to the mainland as logistically we are processing more orders now to the mainland, so both companies will merge warehousing together.

We are a growing company and we are working towards our business strategy of retailing products to most outdoor pursuits, this is our long term vision. We have analysed the gap in the market locally for cycling products since the success of the Giro d’italia and simply plugged it nothing more (this is one of our key aims)  It is the same as what we have done with the equestrian market place very successfully, same business model.

The comments above suggest we are the same company are inaccurate, untrue and libellous. I suggest some members should base their written communications on fact and not assumptions. 

We at Race View Group strive to provide an exceptional service to all our customers in both sectors Equestrian and Cycling. We work hard to achieve this and ultimately want our customers to get the best experience.  We have had nothing but praise for the service we provide our customers and we will work tirelessly to continue this to ensure our customers get the best service possible in our business transactions. We come from a chartered accountancy background and this is very evident in how professional we run the business operations, no stone is left unturned to satisfy the needs of our customers.

I wouldn’t. Race View Cycles

I wouldn’t. Race View Cycles is the new name for Shiny Bikes. Both I and a friend have had bad experiences after buying gear from them – in my case nearly a grands worth of groupset, in my friend’s case a rather expensive frame. In both cases there were faults present straight out of the box. The guy who runs the place, Fraser, was so unhelpful and lazy that we ended up dealing with our own warranty claims through the distributors, then waiting several weeks for Fraser to get round to forwarding the repaired items to us.

They’re not cheap enough for the hassle to be worth it.

AFAIK they’re quite new,

AFAIK they’re quite new, though done equestrian stuff for a while, but only around the corner from my mums so I can call around if needed.

Ballymena Road Club are based fairly close so maybe worth asking on their Facebook page.
