BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Readers of the print BikeBiz should note that Raleigh will no longer be supplying QXL.com.
Dave MacArthur told BikeBiz today that the QXL.com deal was a mistake.
It was an error by [the same account manager who exceeded his authority over the 9feet.com agreement and has left the company]. It should have just been a Maxlite clearance deal but turned into more than that.
PS
Raleigh reports a sales increase of 6 percent for 1999, with a last minute dash resulting in a 15 percent jump in the fourth quarter alone. More figures when we get the full results from US-based Derby Corporation, owners of Raleigh.
