Cycle Republic will be opening the doors to its eleventh store in the Croydon Borough of Purley on Thursday the 21st April.
Cycling is popular in the Purley area with no fewer than 16 cycle clubs within a 10 mile radius. The store will bring Cycle Republic’s premium range of bikes, parts, accessories and clothing to suit enthusiasts and city cyclists alike.
Exclusive brands will include the Basso Bikes range. Started by legendary Italian road cycling family Basso, the brand is now producing some of the finest road, track and CX bikes in the world.
Customers can view a vast range of bikes on display such as the Haibike 2016 range, new Pinarello road bikes and 2016 Boardman Performance and Elite Bikes so the store will have something to suit every cyclist.
Cycle Republic continues to increase its range of female-friendly cycling products and the Purley store will lead the trend with a female-specific offer including the exclusive Pendleton bike range and leading brands such as Pearl Izumi, Gore and Giordana.
The team will provide bike servicing and repairs, with free courtesy bikes on hand for more extensive repairs. Cyclists in the market for a new bike can also take bikes on a test ride in a new, free ‘try before you buy’, to help choose the best model for their ride.
Cycle Republic Managing Director, Peter Kimberley said: “We’re really excited about our new location in Purley, there seems to be a real buzz about cycling here and a growing cycling community. We are looking forward to introducing the Cycle Republic experience to the local cyclists and thrilled that our newly launched reward scheme will give us more ways to support cyclists and give access to the best range of bikes in the market.”
