The fahrrad.de domain is undoubtedly attractive. But its appeal has suffered, and Fahrrad.de also spent months looking for a new investor in the wake of the Benko insolvencies. This investor now seems to have been found, and the online store will close at the end of April, only to reopen the next day. The new investor was involved in the early days of Fahrrad.de over 20 years ago.

Brute discounts of up to 70 percent are still tempting on the website, but behind the scenes, the final end seems imminent: Fahrrad.de is in insolvency administration, but an investor is not in sight. Things are looking better for Tennis Point, which is also under the Signa Sports umbrella.
