BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Last night (October 30th) Alpine Bikes’ Nevis Range hire centre was broken into, with over £25k worth of bikes stolen.
The huge haul included a mix of customer, hire/demo and Alpine’s own staff members’ bikes.
The shop has asked for the trade to be aware and to contact them if they come across any bikes or suspicious parts for sale which match the descriptions below.
The store told BikeBiz that it doesn’t expect the bikes to reappear near the store due to their unusual and easily identifiable nature.
Alpine Bikes can be contacted at online.help@alpinebikes.co.uk, while the Fort William Shop can be reached on 01397 704 008.
