Dear Dulwich Paragon Cycling Club
My name is Matt Connelley and I have recently started a new business, a platform for buying and selling used performance bikes called The London Cycle Exchange (www.londoncycleexchange.com). I started the business because I believed there was a gap in the market, there is no legitimate way to buy and sell used bikes with confidence and without hassle. Unlike auction sites or classifieds we buy the bikes outright before selling them, always confirming the history of the bike first. Our USP is that we purchase at the right price, refurbish and service as necessary and sell on with a warranty. So the buyer pays a little more but gets the benefits of buying new at used prices. The concept of 'used approved' we believe is highly beneficial to the cycling market with so much growth at the higher price points. For the seller its hassle free, you get a fair price, and are paid instantly on inspection. We are focused on keeping costs very low so that the service is cost effective for customers on both sides of the trade. To that end we are initially focusing on contacting the cycling community directly to introduce them to our service. By way of incentive to clubs in the south east we are offering a 5% discount on referrals in October. If this is of interest please do let us know by email or by phone 07770 887 957 (can't always answer but do leave a message and I'll call back). We would ask your members to contact us by mail first (support@londoncycleexchange.com) with the club name and membership number and we will then apply the discount to the bike they are interested in. Please let us know if you are interested in this offer.
