Custom wheelsets now available for cyclic

I have always loved building new wheels from scratch and over the last few weeks I been hard at it. From slick carbon/Phil Wood track wheels like the ones in the pic, to classic low profile alloy for the retro resto. Test wheels to be made available for most work I do so come on in and experience the difference a quality hand built set of wheels will make to your ride.

Cyclic Bikes-Specialized Demo Day

This Saturday and Sunday I will be down at the You Yangs MTB park between Melbourne and Geelong for the latest Test The Best demo day with Specialized bikes. See the poster above for details and come on down for a ride.

The sweetest victories are those that are hardest earn't

Well if there is one person who stood up to be counted at this years Tour De France it was Cadel "cuddles" Evans.

The performance layed out last night in the individual time trail was something to behold. After 3 days with back against the wall to come out and smash those who challenged him showed the heart of the man indeed. I hope everybody gets a chance to see just how good that ride was.

The challengers threw everything they could at him but just had to sit back and watch in awe as time and time again he dug deeper and deeper to realize the dream.

Tonight he gets a nice quiet ride into Paris while the sprinters go at it for the last chance at bragging rights.

Hats of to man with a big heart.

It's Tour Time.....

Well the first week of the 2011 tour is just about done and dusted and what a week it was.

Cadel (cuddles) Evans looking strong at the front.

Bertie Contador had a bit of an off or 2 and is trailing.

Head injuries and broken bones are the flavour of the week.

My new Specialized Rockhopper SL 29er Single speed.

Finally finished off my new Specialized Rockhopper SL 29er single speed. Still have to get a better rear brake and sort out gearing but the first ride was great.

I laced some of Velocity's new Blunt SL tubeless rims to XT hubs with DT Swiss competition Spokes for the wheel and they came up a treat.

Forks are Suntour Epicon. Not very widely know in MTB circles but seem nice and plush from first impression.

I will have to start the weight weeny bit soon I guess to drop it below 10 kg.
