Just seen something posted elsewhere suggesting that GLF is up for sale.

Apparently having a clearout sale this week, and selling the business
next week.

Never been there myself, but have often read tales of people spending
lots of money there - so it seems an odd decision, if so.

sensible move to get out whilst the business has some value. Exchange rates
and competition from mail order sales must make trading difficult. I wonder
what percentage of his customers try on a helmet or boots then order off
the internet for £50 less?

Not too many but I believe it has still been difficult to make much out
of it

Graham told me a year ago (may have been longer) that he was thinking
of selling up.

I was in a couple of weeks ago and he tried to sell me the business.

They probably are, well Held gloves have been pretty good IME but
they've only got them in size 12 which I think is technically
'Frankenstein' size.

I've got the 'vulcan gloves' that Held does, they're pretty good...
