SpeedRace FANS

Adam was such a fan (ho ho ho) that he decided to build one... oops... Pics tomorrow!

Available in 20" and 26".








Ali is a bad boy.

Guess what followed Ali into work today...



Apparently because he was driving a car registered to a female (his mum) and had his hood up (it's cold), the police thought the car might be stolen and followed him to work... right...

Sausage.

It's 10:45am here, Ali is munching on a sausage:

Stan: 'Where did you find that sausage Ali?'

Ali: 'On the desk.'

Yes, Ali does often leave bits of meat lying around...

What.

Our Neon order came with some parts wrapped in newspaper. We found this. Frightening.

Phwoar!

Busy? Believe! The past two days have been hectic, but because we (by we I mean Adam) are dedicated to the website updating cause, new stuff's been going up. There's a pretty big range of new Inspired and Trialtech stuff up on the site, including some braaaand new, didn't-see-that-coming stuff. Good mix of streety, 24-y and trialsy stuff too, you're pretty much guaranteed to find something worth badgering friends and family about having for Christmas...





Brand spanking new full-build Inspired bikes too, the Fourplay Pro and Fourplay Team.





TryAll mod stems are in stock now too, why haven't you bought one yet?!

Best kid's bike ever?

Probably. This kid's bike (bit more SEO there, boom) is amazing! Modelled on the 'big' Sky bikes, this Koxx Microsky is pimped out. It's things like this that make me wish I was a kid again - starting trials on a Raleigh Firefly was fun, but I imagine I may have improved faster on the Koxx...









And yeah, 'H'116 hub on a kid's bike? Believe.

You laugh, but...

You may remember me mentioning Stan's new setup, and joking about how he was 38 hours into setting it up - well, no joke. I'm sure one day it'll come together...

Om nom nom.

New Hope Tech lever really is tech. I'm making the "As used by Mark" tag become a reality in a few minutes, can't wait. Adjustable Hope levers - win!



Despite it looking meaty as hell, it's also only 20g heavier than a standard lever.

EDIT: And here it is!



Downloading.

Vimeo is being slower than a slow thing today, so I haven't even had a chance to watch this all the way through yet. All I can say is that the first minute or so rules. Anyways, click here to see Rowan Johns being awesome!

Number of the beast?

Last night, 38 hours into trying to set up Stan's bike, the man himself called me out of the (warm) office into the (freezing cold) warehouse to point out to me the weight of his old front tyre. This isn't a set up shot or anything, this is literally what it weighed. Potentially a sign.





Bonus fact: Before choosing his new tyre out of the stack of Try-All 26x2.0 tyres, Stan weighed 10 of them to find the lightest one possible. That's dedication.
