Ha Funny Staff Picture!
Must love the mild approach to finding a problem on a bike.
Not sure what the issue was but was funny all the same.

Picture from the Metro - Sonic Attempt
Here is another amusing idea from the Metro Paper.
Love the comment that the loop isn't accessible to pedestrians... really?! What would people do there anyway? Run really fast like Sonic in the hope to make the loop... :-)

Shimano Ultegra Di2 Electric Bike
We have just taken delivery of the Shimano Ultegra Di2 Electric Groupset bike. This is a great way to try before you buy. The bike is available via the store and can be borrowed to test this new system.
We are finding that the Ultegra system is more popular as it is much cheaper than the Dura-Ace version but as we know Dura-Ace has some advanced features about just a little weight saving.
If you want to come and try the Di2 bike, come into John Atkins Cycles or email info@johnatkinscycles.co.uk for more information.

Mercian Custom Build
Here is a bike we custom built some months ago. There are some nice brands on this bike from Brooks, Nitto, Phil Wood, Campagnolo and some period parts that give the bike the best of both worlds; style and usability.
I will let the pictures do the talking.

Pretty Cool Motivational Bike Picture :-)
This is pretty good!

Just got to Love eBay!
This has been sent around to a few people. Maybe this is a new way of marketing... Sarcasm and shameless over pricing at least gets people talking. Love it :-)

Tour de France but not as you know it!
This is... well gorgeous! But you cant get a tow-ball mounted bike rack to fit I'm afraid...

Contrail, Different but I want one!
This is a cool idea and I think it could have more uses that just a novelty product.
What do you think? The pictures show the trails as appearing quite well and it being quite effective.
I will let the websites do the details...
I want to see if it will be put into production and sold in the UK, I think I want one!

We Like Titanium!
We have a lot of Van Nicholas frames and bikes sold through the shop and the finish on this Amazon model is better than ever.
They make great winter bikes due to their great road compliance, comfort and weather resistance. They are designed with different riding types in mind, there are touring and road racing bikes in their line up that helps the rider know in confidence that the bikes are well thought out machines.
We love the options list. When you order a Van Nicholas from us you can have pretty much anything you want. We custom build bikes from the frame up or you can buy a specified packed from Holland. Its a great system and for another fee you can get the bike custom built to YOUR geometry. We have done a lot of bikes this way as it is sometimes cheaper to get the bike in titanium than steel these days.
If you want to come and have a look at the great build quality or to try our demo Rohloff Van Nic' (Details coming soon) then call or pop into John Atkins Cycles where we will be happy to show you the lovely bikes.
