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…

Just had this picture sent in by Kelley one of our customers abroad. We had a nice email and a few pictures and I though you would like to see his bike. It look’s nice and sunny there so no excuses for not getting out on it unlike here where the weather is getting slowly…
