Night rider

Last week, Twitter phenomenon Danny Butler came by the warehouse for a ride after hours with Cap, Stan and Matt.  While here Danny got a chance to play around with our sleeper setup and hook stack, getting this sidehop clean to two after a couple of goes.

If you use Twitter, you can follow Danny here, and us here!

Cap's summer video!

Apart from building bikes in the workshop, Cap got up to quite a bit of riding this summer.  Thanks to the GoPro HD Hero 2 he bought earlier this year, he was able to get this video filmed!  All the usual you'd expect from Cap - big moves, comedy crashes and some Blackpool sun...

Fast times...

Mondays are usually our busiest day as we catch up with weekend orders and e-mails, and it got a lot busier when we received a selection of new parts too!  First up, we've got the brand new TNN Engineering ADMs, TNN Engineering ADVs and TNN Engineering AD Refills.

These pads are named after Andrew Dickey, who you may have seen in  his Black Bike and Elemental videos:





They were tested with Andrew and many other of TNN's team, including our very own Cap, Stan Shaw and Joe Maher.  You can see Joe putting his through their paces in his recent GETcreative video entry:

New team video & Facebook page!

We like to try and mix up our indoor riding spot from time to time, so when we got offered some spare railway sleepers we couldn't say no!  Once we'd got them into the warehouse (and dried them out a little - wet sleepers are no fun) Ali C, Cap and Matt Arkwright decided to have a little play on the new setup after work one night.  You can watch the video below, or alternatively head over to our updated Facebook Page to check it out (while you're there, Like our page to get updated whenever any new special offers or discount codes are available for the shop!).

Day breaker.

It's 4:40pm, almost home time.  The door buzzer goes.  Cap heads out. 

"I've got 85 bikes for you."

That's Cap looking pretty happy, clearly unaware he's got 75 Onza Birds and 10 Onza Comps to help unload, then pack in the warehouse...

P.S.  Fair play to whoever packed that van.  No idea how they managed to get 85 bikes in there, but they did.

Trialtech carbon bars

Q:  What do orange Tango and Trialtech SL Carbon Risers have in common?

A:  According to Stan, they're both "really nice."  (Inside joke alert)

In all seriousness, these bars are pimp.  Not only are they the lightest out there (205.9g - pretty light!), but they're also some of the stiffest available too thanks to their unique shape.  Couple that up with a nice matte finish and you've got a beltin' pair of bars.  In case you've got any doubts about them, you can rest assured knowing they've been tested by top riders like Kenny Belaey, Rick Koekoek, Stan and Cap.

Summer imminent...

Continuing our "Team riders coming out of hibernation" theme, Cap has put together this new video featuring himself, Matt Arkwright and Stan.  Some pretty awesome riding throughout (even including some lesser-spotted TartyDays footage)!

TartyBikes Warehouse Tour

We've had a couple of videos showing some of the riding area inside our warehouse before, but we haven't done a full-on tour video yet. Seeing as the warehouse is nice and tidy post-move, we thought now was the time! This doesn't quite show all of our new warehouse arrangement, but it should give you a pretty good idea of how we take and process orders, and how the parts area came to be!



...and here's our video of Cap and Stan playing around on the riding area!



One part of the warehouse we didn't cover was our "Random shoe boutique" upstairs...

Cap and Stan

Indoor video frenzy! Here's Cap and Stan riding the new unit from two nights last week. You can check Stan's bike out here.

Cap's new video...

When he's not here at work, being a 'Big Lad', climbing, doing skids and wheelies for money, playing on his PS3 or eating, Cap likes nothing more than to boot some big gaps (sometimes to wheels, sometimes to downtube - he's not picky). This is his latest video with Matt "No bones" Arkwright featuring a selection of spots around Preston and Cleveleys.

Cap settling in nicely.

Getting on pretty well with Gav especially, it seems...
