Brompton Freestyle!
This is a very good video and proves that Brompton's are well made sturdy machines. Although saying that, I'm sure they will be having a few more 'warranty' claims through when other people try and do the same...
Video Link:
Of course we sell Brompton's and they are great British bikes and hugely customisable!

Gotta love a good rainbow
I was out on Warwick golf course earlier in the driving rain but as they say 'to see a rainbow you have to have the rain'. And that's what I got as a reward. It went all the way over the sky - lovely.

My Pashley revamp.
I have been thinking about giving my Pashley roadster a bit of a face lift for a while. There are some simple things that can change the look of a bike in a huge way but not cost the earth.for those of you that know what a Pashley Roadster Classic looks like, let me know what you think of it now...
The changes are...
New stem. This makes the bike a little lower and longer.
New saddle. The double spring brooks was shipped out for a ti and copper special
Brooks grips. Because they are lovely :-)
Removed the rear rack and wheel guards.
Flipped the bars. Turning them over costs no money but transforms the bike from a sit up and beg to a head down racer.
Brooks mud flap. Because it has to be done ;-)
So all in all this is a usable classic looking hand built steel bike from Stratford. Now one of the favorites in my collection

Wow, some people think ignoring experts is the way forwards...
This article from Bike Biz explains how a study has highlighted that there are some people don't cycle more because its 'not normal'. It also continues to explain how local authorities should ignore regular cyclists when designing new cycle infrastructure. Well personally I think that's madness. I can sympathise with people who either don't want to ride or its not possible but when people say its not 'normal', well I think that's a bit much.
There are many interesting points in article and it is a must read:

Is this the real end of Race Face?
Bike Biz have confirmed that the great MTB brand Race Face will be closing their doors.
This is a great shame and we will have to see what happens to the name and the great designs.
Read the full article here:
We will keep an ear to the ground and wait to see what happens next...

Longer Lorries.. I don't think so!
The CTC are getting together to get in the way of new plans to allow LONGER lorries on the UK roads. If you have ever cycled on the road and found yourself with a massive truck trying to scoot around you, there will be some feelings against this plan to allow even longer lorries on the road!
On the other hand the CTC have created this amusing picture to illustrate what a 'big' and 'bigger' lorry looks like. Make me smile anyway! :-)
"Ahhh that's what a 'bigger lorry' looks like." :-)
Back to business though! Read this and give your support:

Ultegra Di2...
Yes we have the start to our 2 Shimano Ultegra Di2 group sets arriving now. We will have one set up on a test bike and the other set will be for sale. This will be attached to one of our demo turbo trainers and will be a great opportunity to test a bike, electric group set and a video/virtual reality turbo trainer!
If you like the sound of this get in touch and we will keep your details and let you know when the bike etc is complete.

Wow, Get you hands on this!
As well as bikes, cars are an interest of mine. While looking for a favorite car magazine I couldn't help but laugh at this. Maybe the publishers are running out of things to write about...
Look at all those stunning vehicles on the cover!
Is there a bike equivalent to this?

Chris King... Campagnolo..?
Well well, This January those Campag users can join the Shimano equipped Chris King road riders! It has been a long time coming and it would be great to see some of our Campag users on Chris King items too! King hubs are being built into road bikes more and more because of there reliability and super cool finish. Campag additions to the line up would make for a great winter bike build for example. If you are interested in Chris King Products them pop in store to get your hands on some hubs, BB's and headsets. They will also be appearing online soon!
