The Triathlon Shop has ceased to trade

More difficult times for the triathlon industry, with the news that Bristol-based The Triathlon Shop has ceased to trade. The news was released today on the company’s Facebook page.

Just six months ago, after 21 years of trading, the Nottingham shop TFN also closed its doors for the final time.

Here is the full statement from the The Triathlon Shop Facebook page:
