BMC 2009 ride day this Sunday....

This sunday the 23rd of November we will be having our first Cyclic Bicycles BMC ride day to introduce the new 2009 range to our customers.

Kicking of from 7:00am in the carpark on Boathouse Rd. just off Yarra Blvd.

Ride on down with you pedals and ID and sample what BMC has to offer for 2009.

Available to test will be the following machines.

The Steerfire SSX. Size available will be a medium, 55cm top tube.

All alloy frame with a BMC Straight blade carbon fork equipped with Shimano 105 running gear.

The SL01 Roadracer in Large size, 56.5mm top tube. All new alloy main frame with carbon seat stay and utilizing the all new BMC streampost 73.5 seatpost system. Full Shimano Ultegra running gear with Fulcrum 7 wheels.

Racemaster SLX01 in size 54cm. Alloy trident design utilizing the new bonded skeleton concept in unison with Easton CNT top/heat tube construction and CNT wishbone rear. Ultegra SL drivetrain with Fulcrum 5 wheels.

SLC01 Pro Machine in 55cm size.  The pinnacle of carbon frame design and materials. The only frame to use Easton 'carbon nano technology'. Seductive to say the least. Equipped with full Dura Ace drivetrain and Fulcrum 3 wheels. A true modern masterpiece.

TT02 Time Machine size medium. Alloy main frame with Easton carbon rear aero section and Easton EC90 SLX aero fork. Ultegra/FSA drive train with DT Swiss wheels. This is our triathlon hire bike available to be used by you for upcoming events.

CX02 Cross Machine size 54cm. I had so much fun riding this bike at the BMC dealer day last month I had to have it for our demo day here in Melbourne. In the wet on a tight Blue Mountains single track I was stunned at how versatile a bike could be. Traction in wet was incredible and the agility over the rocks was something else.

Bicycle Film Festival has come to town

With the start of the summer warmth also comes the international Bicycle film festival. I had such a blast at this event last year I am so looking forward to a repeat performance this year.
In conjunction with the Lee clothing store we have put together a sweet KHS fixie for the the event.

Simply purchase a pair of jeans and a Tee at their Chapel St. store and go into the draw to take it home. Or spend $100 and get a double pass to the bike's rock gig at the Hi Fi bar. 4 rippin' bands to get the show going.

New SSX Streetfire

Very similar to the new SL01 Roadracer is the SSX Streetfire. The new model that arrived yesterday in stunning white with green trim is sure to be a hit with those looking for a new bike with an entry level price tag with all of the design features of it's much more expensive siblings.

At first glance the frame is almost identical to the SL01 but a second look reveals the standard seat clamp design, external cable routing and the lack of CNT carbon rear wishbone.

Component specs include a full Shimano 105 drivetrain, at last a complete groupo. Matched with RS10 wheels wearing Conti Ultra Sport tyres. And once again there is the Scor Bar, Post and Stem. All up such a well put together package.

2009 SL01 Roadracer on the floor

We have now received our first few of the new 2009 model BMC bikes.

Starting with the all new Roadracer. The new bike is a complete rework of the older SL01 which is instantly recognized by the new trademark integrated skeleton concept seat cluster and streampost 73.5 seatpost system. With the downtube using up the full width of the bottom bracket shell and traditional T-section toptube using triple butted 7005 series Easton tubing, stiffness is no doubt going to be a high point of this new frame. The addition of the CNT whishbone seatstays and carbon streampost will smooth the ride well also.

Equipped with a full Ultegra drivetrain and using standard 53-39t chainrings and fitted with Fulcrum 7 wheels. Finished off nicely with BMC's Scor branded Bar stem and saddle. The bar is particularly comfortable and is very similar to an Easton EA70.

This along with all 2009 models will be available to test at our ride day.

BMC 2009 model ride day.

With the first shipment of new BMC bikes only days away I am planning a small ride day for those who would like to test ride some of the new road models.

A tentative date of Sunday the 23rd of November in the close proximity of Kew boulevard is on the cards. I hope to have every model from the new Streetfire up to Pro Machine available.

Nothing like Oscar night, just small scale social introduction to the new range.

Ride preference will be given to those who choose to book a ride in advance.

BYO pedals and ride gear.

BMC SLX01 review on Youtube

Here is a short review I found on Youtube from Competitive cyclist in the US. Nice easy to understand critique on the new SLX01.

If you you like the sound of what you hear then don't hesitate to book a test ride on our demonstrator. We also have a Pro Machine so you can compare the 2 back to back.

BMC TT02 Hire bike

Here is a couple of pics of the TT02 in the shop. SLK cranks, DT r1900 wheelset. Ultegra drivetrain with dura-ace shifters. 

This bike is now going to be available for hire. Getting into tri racing and don't want to outlay big $$$'s on a new bike to discover it's not for you? Come in and hire our TT02 for your next race. 

Call the shop for details.

Cube Litening HPT

I have just had a call from the Australian distributor of Cube Bikes and he tells me to expect to se some of the glorious titanium Cube Litening HPT's arriving in the not too distant future. Built with Ultegra SL and Fulcrum 7 wheels this bike will offer a great introduction to a titanium frame for any rider.

Very limited early release so if you would like to reserve one for yourself please contact us at the shop.
