Another Galibier fan here - they are my go to place for clothing. Their winter bib-longs are the best I’ve had and all the kit is very reasonably priced and good quality.
IMO Wiggle were never cheapest for parts, they were just more convenient as they were reasonably priced for most things.
I think the remaining stock is being sold from a warehouse near Sheffield?
Also read that Rapha are making cutbacks in North America, so the market continues to shrink. Although DCR suggested that Giant might end up taking Stages on?
With the massive growth in apartment building and occupation rather than houses, more and more adults don’t seem to have bikes, as nowhere to keep them or ride them regularly, and for families the kids never get a chance to ride a bike, which is really sad, but is also killing the demand.
With the amount of ball-ache a Wiggle own brand Lifeline gear inner has caused me this afternoon (about as supple as a ships hawser and eventually went in the bin) I’m glad they went bust
