Specialized Demo 8

Being a 66kg whippet more inclined to inflict the hurt on the uphill not the downhill, I never really got the downhill bug.

But after hooking up Andy from Ballarat with a new Demo 8,

I now kind of get it.

What a piece of work. There is just so much that has gone into these frame sets.

One reason why Sam Hill wins is his partnership with Specialized for sure.

Oh, and the fact he is is just plain insane on a bike.

A day at the races..

It was great to get down to Williamstown for the last stage in the Bay crit series. Sunny day with light wind and racing action up close and personal.

The shop will back open on Tuesday the 11th 0f Jan and it sure was good to have a spell.

Christmas Opening Hours

Only 8 more sleeps till Christmas!

Cyclic will be open every day leading up to Christmas right up to the close of business on Friday 24th December. That means you have plenty of opportunity to come in and do your last minute christmas shopping with us.

We have lots of christmas gift ideas to suit everyone's budget (small, big and bigger) and if you are not sure what to buy you can always purchase a gift voucher.

The opening and closing hours are the same: 10am til 6pm weekdays and 10am til 4.30pm on the weekend.

We will be taking a well deserved break over christmas and will open back up again on the 11th of January.

Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 29er

Sure to be a big hit this season is the Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 29er.

The new frame features race optimized 29er specific geometry, not just big wheels on a 26 inch bike. A Rock Shox Reba RLT fork with size-specific travel. Super fast Specialized S-Works renegade 2-bliss tyres fitted as standard. Avid Elixir R SL brakes with tool-free reach adjust.

Sram 3x10 drivetrain and comes in 5 sizes from 15.5 inch through to 23 inch.

New 2011 BMC's Price drop.

All 3 of these bikes are now in store.

With the strong Australian dollar the price of BMC bikes and frames has been reduced making one of best bike brands even more accessible. The new RM01 will now have a retail price of $6195.00. Down from $6559.00

I have assembled the 3 and weight a couple. The RM01 in size 53 cm weighs in at $6.9kg.

The SL02 will now be $3450.00 down from $3595.00 and weighs in at right on 8kg for a 57cm. And the SR02 street racer will be $2120.00 down from $2395.00.

Hincapie SLX01 Limited Edition

This here is a nice little collectors item indeed. A limited edition George Hincapie Stars and Stripes BMC SLX01 Racemaster frameset.

1 of only a handful made. This is a 52 cm and is offered for sale with a George Hincapie US champion jersey (med). Can be built to your personal specification.

Frame, Fork, Headset and seat post $3000.00

Phil Wood hubs and more.....

At cyclic bikes we have always had some Phil Wood hubs and cogs in the cabinet. But now with the Australian dollar doing so well we can offer the same price as the US customers. Dollar for dollar. Anything on the Phil Wood store can be yours at the same price as listed.

This also makes for some great wheelset options. For example.

Or a pair of polished Phil high flange track hubs, (fixed/free 32h) laced to Velocity Deep-V's. $695.00

29er's from Specialized

So if you thought the 29er thing was just going to go away quietly, think again.

Specialized is going to town with 29er's this season and here is how it stands.

Kicking it off i the Hardrock range, entry level 29er disc at $599 and sport disc at $749. So even the kids can play.

Next up is the Rockhopper comp at $1199 and the expert at $1499. Good price point for a 3x9 drivetrain to get the more serious ride onto a new 29er.

Last alloy of the hardtail's is the Stumpjumper Comp at $2499. 3x10 and Rock Shox reba forks give a great mid level package. Or for a bit more bling the Stumpjumper comp carbon at $3999.

Full carbon hardtail frame with a sram 2x10 drivetrain and reba front forks. Nice

Onto the duel suspension bikes and the Camber elite 29er has 100mm of front and rear travel, 3x9 drive train and comes in at $2799. Great value for a duely.

The ever popular Epic range gets 3 modelsof 29er. The comp at $3999 with 3x10 and reba's. The comp carbon at $4499 with a carbon front triangle, reba's and 2x10 drivetrain. And the Expert carbon. Carbon front. 142mm rear. Sram X0 2x10 drivetrain and tuned reba forks. all for $5999.

2 bikes in the 130mm travel Stumpjumper FSR range. FSR comp at $3799. 2x10 and reba's. And the FSR expert at $4999. Sram X0 drivetrain, control tech post and 130 mm travel reba's.

And for those who just have to have the best there is 2 offerings from the S-Works stable.

Stumpjumper HT carbon at $8499. Sub 9kg rocket ship. Yes, less than 9 kilograms people.

Epic S-Works 29er at $9999. Carbon everything. Frame, wheels, bar, post, cranks etc. This is as high as you go in 29er duel suspension bikes.
