Ben's cycles and the Euro-asia imports stock buy out

[pwebb]

Mind boggling volumes of NOS high end parts from Campy, Cinelli, Dura Ace etc. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/ind...sin-shop-acquires-euro-asia-imports-inventory also see the vids on instagram of the Ben's cycles folks uncovering pallet after pallet of goodies - I do hope this finds its way into some form of searchable catalogue and mail order service !

I used Euro-Asia a couple of times to get hard to find items but they were a real pain to deal with in terms of lack,of response & being quite secretive of items like it’s though they didn’t want to sell them. Hopefully with the takeover things can be more transparent & if they go on say eBay that’ll be so much better for potential buyers. I’ll definitely be interested to see what they had hidden away

I tried to fid a way to link the vimeo vid - https://vimeo.com/1115588107?fl=pl&fe=sh but it may be you have to click the above link on the bicycleretailer web page and then click on the embedded video

From the article:
"He said the inventory eventually will be available on the Ben's Cycle website and on its  eBay storefront ."
I peeked around the Ben's site, seems to be pretty well laid out, with searchable categories and filterable results

I still don't quite understand how they could have sat on so much inventory for so long, but let's hope it finds it's way to folks who will do great restorations for us to see and not those that hoard piles of super record boxes.

Yeah, I watched the path less pedalled video last night which highlighted the sale, and the shear amount of stock that had - quite something!
