Last weekend saw a fairly impromptu, short notice Singular pairs team head over to the Bristol Bikefest. Much fretting over what had been a fairly dismal weather forecast over the preceeding days turned out to be for nought and bright sunny weather covered perfectly tacky trails. 12 hours over a quite rooty, rutted course was always going to take its toll when aboard a rigid bike, though we'd hoped to make a slightly better fist of it than we did. As it was, we rode in earnest for about 7 hours, took a break for about 2.5 hours, then each came back for another couple of laps. The weather was just too nice to be punishing oneself around a race course, it may be the only nice weekend of the summer as it was last year...

Next weekend brings the big one, the Mountain Mayhem 24 hour race, in which we have a team of four competing. It's bound to be a lot of fun, with a bit of internecine rivalry thrown into the mix. We'll have a number of bikes there so if you fancy giving something a try just come by and see us - we'll have a red marquee with the logo on it.

A couple of pics from Bristol

A couple of recent customers who've taken advantage of the discounted price we've had on the Swift frames have sent in some pics. Two very different builds for sure, but both looking good.

Al's gone for a drop bar and gears - first time I've seen that on one of the geared frames actually - looks great though.





Same frame, but a very different build for Chew - Mary bars and singlespeed.
