Recently, we as Van Nicholas, but also as an industry worldwide, have been faced with a huge increase in demand for bicycles and bicycle parts. As a result, we are no longer able to meet our normal delivery time of 4 to 6 weeks. Due to the global pandemic, team sports, gyms, bars, restaurants and most forms of indoor sports are banned all over the world, so recreationists and cyclists are turning to the great outdoors to run, walk and cycle to keep their bodies in shape.
We cannot meet this demand in the bicycle industry at once. At every level, from raw materials, to production, to logistics and transport, the supply chain is under pressure as never before. This affects our delivery times, because it is impossible for us as a manufacturer to say exactly when the supply of part will take place.
Due to delays in supplying parts, it is difficult to estimate when we can realize production and your unique and personalized bike will be available. We will do our best to keep you and the dealer informed. We find this annoying and we are sorry to have to communicate this. We would have liked this to be different, of course, but we are doing our best and hope for your patience.
