I was under the impression that everybody at Nukeproof and Vitus were gone. Would be great if they would get back into business.

Mike Ashley bought the company along will, I assume, the intellectual property of the associated companies, Vitus etc, don't hold your breath hoping that he would understand the success and following those brands have, I really can't see him honouring any outstanding warranties or further developing brands he just doesn't understand.

The last thing he would want would be to encumbered with any of the old staff, with their service and pension entitlements. How he managed to avoid the TUPE legislation, I have no idea.

TUPE = Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment). It means that when you take over or buy a business the people transfer with their rights intact. The definition is pretty wide.

Merlin, Leisure Lake or Rutland Cycles for me if buying online. My LBS is good for price matching and seem to be able to get stock when the others can't.

Stock levels are interesting at the mo (i.e. pretty rubbish all round)
