Ohio Cycle

[LOUD MOUSE]

I purchased my first MC part from NICK in 1991.
A NOS CL72 seat for which I paid $135.00.
Payment was by Postal MO and I was told no out of US sales at that time!. .................lm

May not be all good news though, just checked out a couple of listings and the both carry the warning 'May not ship to United Kingdom' which was always Ohio Cycle's policy. Just what is wrong with us Brits and our funny money? It is after all the WWW not the USAWW, just curious.

It's not just you and your funny money. They don't ship to Canada either. However, I just looked them up on the map and for me it's about a five or six hour drive. (It would be shorter but Lake Erie is in the way.) Perhaps an expedition is in order.

I remain a bit puzzled as to why they don't ship internationally. It's such an easy thing to do these days.

I think it all comes from a bad experience he had with some of us foreigners.

Easier just to not bother.

His stock last longer that way.... :-)

Or could it be the added paper work required?. ................lm

But what I did notice right away, even after visiting the “store”, was really not a lot to choose from at least from the EBay pages or page I saw.
I’d imagine it’s tons of work to post most of your stuff, but maybe in time the store will expand. And let’s face it, the guys got a gold mine there and someone will have to take the reins at some point, and they’ll no doubt do it differently.

Indeed - I think they are working with 'easy to ship' bits and pieces. Hopefully if that turns out to be a good experience then they will get into the larger items. I've noticed that some of Nick's bike collection has already gone to David Silver so things are changing.

I've purchased a goodly number of things from Ohio's ebay store this week, most for myself, but also something for another forum member. I hope he's not planning on clearing out his business anytime soon as he has hard to find parts and I'd miss him. I'm hoping his recent foray into the ebay world will show him that he can sell more parts and encourage him to expand his offerings.
