Chicken Cyclekit is to open up its Leighton Buzzard headquarters to its customers, having announced a planned annual invite running each October.
Starting in 2015 and running October 22nd to 23rd, the inaugural event will be Chicken Cyclekit’s largest exhibition and will provide accounts time with both internal and international brand managers.
A spokesman for KMC commented: "We are delighted Chicken CycleKit are giving us this opportunity to meet, instruct and get to know their customers. It will be a great and memorable occasion."
Full details will be announced next year.
The new catalogue will also be launched in time for the Cycle Show in September, with catalogues also set to be distributed via at least two cycling magazines in the near future.
Having booked a presence at this year’s Cycle Show, Chicken Cyclekit has confirmed it will have dedicated areas for Campagnolo, Deda Elementi, Selle Italia, Vittoria and Datatag.
As the Tifosi brand expands, four new models will be added to the strong line-up, which mainly fall under the £1,000 price bracket so perfect for your cycle to work customers. Dedaccai also introduce new models for 2015, with the aero Atleta and a sub £1,000 bike, the AP01 which is assembled with market leading brands. Component and accessory brands Briko, Miche, LAS, Vittoria shoes, Nalini and Vermarc are also set to be displayed.
Cinelli stockists and interested dealers will see the latest range, substantially unchanged since last season.
The distributor will also have a presence at the 2015 Bristol Bespoke Bicycle Show.
Finally, there will be a trip to Campagnolo’s factory in October, including a visit to Venice. Having opened its doors at the launch of its’ 80th Anniversary this is a rare opportunity for some to visit this iconic company. After huge success with the launch of the Miche Wheel Test Programme, the firm are looking to revisit the Miche factory next year. This is a another opportunity to see premium road products being made in Italy.
Chicken CycleKit will also be giving dealers a chance to join them on other money can’t buy trips and activities, such as the exclusive Red Hook Criterium in Milan with a visit to the Cinelli HQ.
