Sad news bros, the much-awaited (among us anyway) opening of the PimpGarage showroom at ECP ain't happening after all. Word is the initial response to their bikes has been less than lukewarm, so it's no longer financially viable to continue.
It's a damn shame though, coz with the Integrated Resorts opening up, the beaches of Singapore (Sentosa, Pasir Ris, et all) being developed and the general approval of the public towards chopper bikes (as shown in the recent Heartland Getaways episode), it's quite clear the scene is becoming more vibrant and suited to such a business venture. Their opening would have jumpstarted the phat-tire revolution.
Still we hope they'll reconsider one day, and we also other custom bike companies will set up shop here, cos CnCSg and other chopper groups here will still go on strong. It's our passion, as simple as that. In the meantime, guess we gotta go back to ordering hard-to-get parts online. But wait, PimpGarage will be holding a warehouse sale tomorrow (8th Dec Saturday) to clear the stocks (frames, spinner wheels, billet wheels, accessories like grips n mirrors) they brought in. Here's the address:
51 Kampong Bugis
#07-01B
S338986
From 6pm onwards. Cash terms only.
I admit, my brain's pretty damn happy the stuff is now going cheap. But my heart says still: It's a damned shame.
