A rare sight...

Something I (Adam) haven't seen for at least a few years... a Monday morning often brings up to 200 emails, so a completely clean inbox is heaven!

10

10g (keeping up that way of putting the title on) - not much for a 12t sprocket?



Available in screw-on in 12t, 15t and 16t, and 12t and 16t in the splined version. Prices start from £24 for the screw-ons, and £36 for the splined.



Bonus fact: The 12t screw-on sprocket weighs less than the packaging it comes in! (Sprocket: 10g vs. Header card and polythene bag: 14g)

1300

1300g for both wheels, including bolts and washers. It really does feel like you're holding thin air! Click here for details of this one-of-a-kind wheelset.

Quote of the day

Martin: "Why's that picture frame not got a picture in it?"
Adam: "That's a mirror."

Priceless.

Oh, and DeskSnail™:

Up 'n' Atomz

Got all the 2010 Atomz bikes in stock now, all 1, 2, 3, 4 of 'em. Bargainous.

Up to date...

Over the last few weeks we have been working hard to get our stock levels spot on, so you should find we have a lot of popular items back in stock either now or very soon. We also did an extensive stock check of our entire warehouse, so you may find we have some older products back in stock but with limited stock.

We also have well over 100 products on offer at the moment too, so there are plenty of bargains to be had while stocks last!

Gav's New Hair

Permtastic.

Unorthodox?

"Who'd have thought it'd be so hard fitting a set of car mats?" - said by Adam seconds ago before he started angle grinding something in the workshop. Honeymoon over with the Skoda, eh? Haha.

Anyways, so this isn't a purely 'Check out the new bikes we've built' blog, here's a video of Kenny Belaey getting serious at an indoor setup.

Bikes galore...

Dengtastic.

Probably the most Deng it's possible to make a fairly normal bike (apart from maybe Deng brakes 'n' stuff)?







Spec is here, with some additional pics!

We've also got the brand spankin' new Giaco: My Revival DVD in. Got some really top drawer riding in this beast, well worth a look! Here's the trailer:

Alley oop!

Our amazing high jump pole setup (all made of plumbing spares, infinitely adjustable, no tools required, so good!) got put to use after work today by me (Mark) and Ali. I pussied out after 48" when I completely forgot how to do simple things like walking then jumping, but Ali got 52", then couldn't quite nail a 54". Hefty.



In related news, Ali's new name is "Spazzy Legs":

Orange anyone?

Every now and then Magura come out with a limited edition range - 2010's is orange! Each set of brakes (sold only as a pair of 2-finger blade brakes) comes with a sweet Magura branded Vaude messenger bag, an SKS carbon fibre minipump and a bottle of super tech chain lube from an almost unpronouncable German company. It's worth a lot individually but is available for a bargainous £149. Available now!

Thursday 14 January 2010

Champagne anyone?

Mark and I (Stan) have been pounding the product/photo/website work today as you can probably tell and here are the latest additions!

The Aurem 3 and Manus frames are now available in a new anodised matte Champagne finish. Check out this Spec 1 version we just built, looks pretty sweet and is also good value at £1049.



In other product news, we also now stock Fox Incline gloves, more info here.

Om nom nom.

Unusual...

Well, it's just turned over to a new year. I thought we were going into 2010, but apparently we're going into 2000 again judging from the looks of this bike? Old school! Rides pretty nicely too as a fun trials bike.









A steal at £899 too, go check it out!

Just Because...

We've now got the Because Trial and Because Street frames in stock, with a Because Trial full build to show you tomorrow. It's a seriously nice looking bike with a pretty interesting feel - +70mm BB, longer wheelbase, shorter back end; not your typical twenny-fo.





£249 means they're pretty bargainous too, whether you go for street or trials! As a bonus, our 24" tyre and rim deal means that if you fancy dipping a toe into the 24" market, with that cheap deal and some spokes you're pretty much good to go if you're running a 26"er at present.
