Does this mean the end of Turners in LBS's?

surely no one will want to stock £2k frames when CRC are selling them at discount

Its only last years 2009 frames. Merlin are flogging them off to. Clear expcted demand to be a bit higher last year. Quite tempted to get a Flux whilst they are on 'cheap'.

:edit: Ooops it is 2010 and 2009. Well I never...

just realised the 2009 / 2010 prices.

whats the difference between 2009 & 2010 models....are turner going into model years?

It used to be that you had to wait months for one!!!

but at £2k a pop and now CRC selling them... think turner is on a big downturn in the UK

Saw a Surly in Halfords the other day. Still good bikes. Just that more people might be able to see/buy them now. All good!

These people have always traded on being the best at what they do. They seem to be making some awful management decisions.

The horst link is the best, no they don't need it, single pivot is fine, but DW comes along and it is well, clearly the holy grail.

Now they're selling off from discount warehouses.........

I reckon Silverfish are pushing them through CRC to keep up with sales targets promised to Turner when they took over distribution.

Also maybe they're concentrating pushing Mondraker more

nasher slight hijack here, but I rode the sospel enduro two days ago and I am not sure whether or not you've rode it, but my advice would be to get a gravity dropper (or similar) and take every piece of body armour you have available. It is fast, very very very fast, and the sp are very long, so recipe for a disaster.

Plus I though you wanted to buy a DH bike 😉

Heather - you've been beaten up by someone on a Turner then? Or do you only ride other full sus bikes that perform better?
I'm not saying they cure all known diseases, but they make a good bike.
