Brooks saddles


Just thought you would like a look at the new brooks saddle display. We do sell a lot of Brook,s saddles and because of this Brooks sent us this display. It.s not road legal as it has no brakes but I like it.

Derek


Here we have a proper photo. Here you see Derek working on a fork crown. This was one of a whole load of photos taken by Chris Floyd the other week for a management magazine we where in . The quality of these photos are out of this world. I would like to say thank you Chris for them.

Thank you Darrel


We had a email the other day which went down well with all concerned with the build of this bike . I quote a couple of paragraphs from his letter. I just wanted to say thank you and offer a picture for your gallery, to show you my frame built up. It's a thing of great beauty and I've never ridden anything like it. Fast and comfortable. Responsive and stable. Classic and contemporary. People have shook my hand and told me it's the most beautiful bike they've ever seen. I am very much inclined to agree with them.
Need we say anymore .

S & S Couplings


This picture shows a King of Mercia frame with the stainless steel S & S couplings just before it gets put together as a complete bike ( the customer has supplied most of the equipment ) . It has a slight overspray of blue with the blue head tube to match and please note the gold outline of the transfers.

A New John


Today was John's first day with us in the shop. A new member who has plenty of experience in the triathlete scene and a keen bike rider of course. It was a bit of a quiet day for us in the shop but helped to ease John into the shop roll. I,m sure he will be a valued member to the Mercian team.
