Fire fire fire

I know they do servicing and stuff at Cycletreads too so i feel real sorry if some poor bugger had his bike in there overnight

Yeh i guess that place will be smouldering for days cos it was a rather big attic full of tyres.

I know a few people have had bad experience with these guys but ive always had good service, just a shame to see some guys business burnt to the ground.

I hope they are not too,too busy - I was going in to Leading Edge to get a couple of tyres on sat...wonder if I can book em over the phone?

[QUOTE][-1-7,00.html]news item on NZOOM[/URL] about the fire. At least it sounds like the bike shops either side were unaffected.


Thanks to the 50 or so dedicated, professional firefighters, who did an excellent job in protecting the bikes shops either side
of Cycletreads, well done guys.

I guess they will have a fire sale now!! Pity we can't pick up a smoke damaged 954 or GSXR?

Fire sale my arse, There is nothing,and i mean NOTHING left.
i went past this afternoon and the domolition guys were already starting to knock down the ruins.
Close call for cycletreads though-the roof on their building has started melting.

Yeh i just drove past myself and was so suprised as to how gutted the building was, i at least expected a little something left!

But yeh wont be long before the buildings down as the big ass dump truck was parked outside.

I went to leading edge this morning to buy some oil for my bike. I didn't even know at the time that leading edge had burn't down. I'd never seen leading edge so busy, and Baz the guy who usually walks up to me like a shot took a good 10 mins to get over to me!! They'll have their work cut out for a while, thats for sure!!!

I rolled past at 7pm to see what was left. As you guys said,there's NOTHING but a blackened shrivelled carcass. Those tyres must generate a fair bit of heat. Holeshot will be thankful the driveway seperates the two premises and Cyclespot must be counting their blessings too. As for any bikes inthere being  serviced, I hope we've all got at least 3rd party/fire/theft?

but at 7pm, leading edge still had the open signs out. I'm syure they don;t want to see anyone burned down but they won't mind the business I'll bet (unless one of the poor sods had annual leave coming up!)

I went past at 10pm after finishing class to see what was left aswell. There was a security guard parked in his car outside the remains, he didn't seem suprised that people were still checking out the site at 10pm.

well as a gold card holder of Cycletreads and having frequented them for a few years I feel really sorry for the team I guess they all have no Jobs yet so Mike and tyson and the team I hope you find a new home soon. and in time for my next purchase.
good luck

Yeah,it sucks,I guess insurance will help the owner,but the boys will be in a tight spots for jobs - do they hang around for a rebuild or jump to a new job.Some may of not liked their who gives a shit attitude,but I thought they were fun guys - someone was always pulling a wheelie up Barrys Point rd on a sat morning...loonies.

got my tyres put aside at Leading Edge and I'll pick them up tomorrow....maybe I'll go over the road and see if I can see a burnt skeleton poking out of the wreckage...like a pair of handle bars or summat.
