Tonik Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Its all owned by a big investment firm. I wouldn't expect any major changes. They will streamline line it, cut costs a bit, boost the value and sell it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well I haven't been buying much from Revzilla since I have gotten such great deals from Riders Discount. Hopefully they keep Anthony and the product videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they keep Anthony and the product videos. Anthony is one of the owners. My bet is those boys are going to take the money,run and laugh all the way to the bank then start over again. I think we will see then again under another entity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 In those type of purchase agreements there is almost certainly a non compete clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hopefully they keep Anthony doing the reviews and the Common Thread. I wish Iron Pony would improve their website, similar to Revzilla. I like to support the local stores. However, their website isn't very good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue in this area is that no one carries brands I like lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, couldn't resist. That was too easy. Ok, and I'm not sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to beat a fat check and a long vacation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to beat a fat check and a long vacation. Exactly. And the excitement of building a business is different than the experience of running it after it's gotten to a certain size, even if it is profitable. Nothing wrong with cashing out, catching your breath and figuring out what you want to do in the next chapter of your life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2talltim Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 That's cool, I'll admit I've never ordered from them but the reviews they offer on stuff are second to non. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocket226 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Cool. I've ordered stuff from them. Super-fast shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Revzilla is a decent vendor although Riders Discount will beat them in price any time & has great service too. Sportbiketrackgear is also good. Hopefully The link between Revzilla & Cyclegear will elevate Cyclegear a bit. That would be my hope because Cyclegear has a brick and mortar 10 minutes from me that I would patronize if they weren't trying to sell low quality crap almost exclusively.
