Cycleorings has ceased operation

[Rijko]

Robert, your health is the only important thing.
I wish you all the best and hope for your speedy recovery.

[roeme]

Robert, best of luck.

Just to add, you're one of the guys enabling me to discover, and follow my passion of wrenching on my bikes. Halfway around the globe, on top of that.

Still have the original envelope somewhere.

[habsdoc]

So sorry to hear this. All the best to you and your family and hopefully you have a very good out come.

[Agemax]

On behalf of all us UK members, thankyou for helping us out as well, and wish you all the best Robert.

The timing was medically necessary; I have acquired a case of Stage III -x (TBD) lung cancer, with a tumor slightly larger than a league baseball in my upper right lung. It's encroaching on some vital pulmonary passages, causing bouts of nonstop coughing. I've been using what little traces of energy the cancer leaves me to get myself from one exam to another, and sometimes even to sleep. My oncology team are all serious professionals, the kind of physicians who operate on much higher octane than mere mortals, so I feel confident that I have half a prayer of being around for a while.

Soon I'll post up all the sizes. I have to gather the info for the CV kits, the standard VM, the oddball 450 (80 - 82) and a few odds and ends -- flatslides, etc. Probably by this weekend. Perhaps we can ask Frank to make a sticky out of the post.

I have enough material to prepare quite a few kits for anyone patient enough to wait. I also have plenty of 38mm and 40mm intakes, as well as some 28's and 30's. A nice collection of Viton. This would make a good starter kit for anyone who wants to take over my operation. I'd be willing to toss in the Cycleorings.com webpage, so the new owner would have an existing customer base.

In any case, there's no abrupt shortage of supplies. There will be continuity. The only thing I can't accomodate are impatient people.

Robert,

Thank you for your reply. As I said in my PM to you, I suspected you had good reason for discontinuing the website. I'm sorry to hear the reason is cancer! Thank you for all you've done and your willingness to continue to help us despite your situation. Your health is most important, so please take care of that first and foremost. We will keep you in our prayers!

Very sorry to hear this news, Robert. However with today's medical techniques and expert specialists, I am sure you are going to beat this thing.

Best wishes and prayers from another global member you have assisted!

[fastbysuzuki]

I have got a couple of kits from Robert in the past, wishing you a good outcome Robert all the best.

I have relied heavily on Robert's product, thanks for supplying such necessary and important components that make all the difference to our bikes.
Sorry to hear you're having health difficulties, get over it soon.

[bwringer]

Please take care of yourself Robert, and keep your GS family posted as you can!

If there's anything I or the other locals and semi-locals can do, please let us know and we'll come running.


If you'd like to discuss the future of your circular stock and information, please feel free to get in touch via email, PM, carrier pigeon, etc. I think the Midwest GS Mafia could figure something out.

Good Luck Brother...

Best wishes Robert. Good to hear you are happy to have a team that is serious. That is half the job done.
I've been planning a carb job since 2016. You emailed me about then and I can confirm that I am now almost ready for the next step, ie ordering the things and will do so anytime now but will need them tomorrow. Any tomorrow will do really, I don't want to rush this job

[salty_monk]

Sorry to hear the news... if only it was just the kids flying the coup! Please take care of yourself!

[superawesome]

Hey Robert

so sorry to read this! Take care of yourself and big thanks to keeping all those carbs running - including mine.

Best
Jürgen
