Verbier

In a thinly disguised 'customer service' ploy, I recently delivered some parts to the good people of Bike Verbier. In return for my couriering, Lucy, Phil and Rob kindly showed me some of the incredible riding they have on their doorstep. After wearing me out riding up and down mountains all day long, they then filled me full of the finest home-made grub and put me up in their superb chalet. If you were wondering where to go and who to stay with, for a great spell of riding this summer - you'd be hard pushed to find anywhere better than Verbier.

Just make sure you pack some clean underpants and strong brakes, It's damn steep I tell thee...

Can you do that VooDoo?

We just had a whole load of VooDoo frames arrive - they're quivering in anticipation at the thought of being ridden. The whole mass of tubes is resonating at a frequency akin to the guttural growl of a cornered beast. Help us unleash this pent up energy and take one away today.

Starting from as little as £179, you're sure to be able to find some parts worthy of one of these Joe Murray designed masterpieces and go make some magic of your own.

Happy Owner

Some people are just so pleased to finish their dream bike that they can't wait to take a photo and show you how happy they really are.

Here's Roly, looking very proud, with his Maverick. Thanks for sharing that with us Roly.

Pace RC41 XCAM

What a mouth full - once you've re-arranged the jumble of letters, it spells 'great fork', as proven in MBUK's May fork test. Best in test and a perfect 10 scored. We have these in stock right now along with the rest of the range - Pace have certainly listened to critics over the years and we reckon this is their best product range ever. Call now to snap some up, while stocks last...

Ultimate Workstands

You need this in your life - a fully featured workstand, that is solid and doesn't cost a bomb. Made from aluminium, right here on planet earth, it's height adjustable, easily folded, really stable and has a clamp arm that can rotate through 360o. Everything slides and moves freely and on uneven ground, there's not so much as a wobble.

Brilliant features and only £129. It even folds down to become smaller than a cuban cigar*.

* Cigar is 36" long and 6" diameter.

Like a Bike

These are great - if you've got kids and are wondering how to tackle the first bike thing, then this is your answer. The Like a Bike is just that - they get the basics of balance and handling sorted, with no fuss, no tears and no pressure. Just leave one lying around and youngsters instinctively want to try it. Our youngest got on one when she was two - within six months she could happily ride a two wheeler - not a stabiliser in sight. As the Like a Bike is so light, they're easy to manoeuvre and as they're so well designed and built - there's no places to trap fingers. Beautiful to look at, hard wearing and bags of fun - every child should have one.

We stock the Mountain (Birch) at £135 and the Forest (Beech) at £140.

Call or Mail for details, or better still, swing on by with your nipper, for a test ride...

WTB Timberwolf 2.3 Race Tyre

Well, now you can - we have a few of this 2.3" DNA rubber compound, folding bead tyre, just for you. Be quick though, 'cause we ain't got many.

Price is £26.99.

Phil Wood SS

This is one of those frames that poor photography simply doesn't do justice to. Hanging here in the shop is an inky blue gem of a singlespeed frame - built to suit someone in the 5'10" range, it comes with an eccentric unit and a pair of Phil Wood disc SS hubs - all for just £999.

Limited in production, if you want something lovely that's a little different from the rest, then slide on over here and fall in love...
