Its been a busy couple of weeks in the shop, our online sales project was rapidly accelerated (from May Launch to March Launch!), which has meant spending inordinate amounts of time populating the site with product images and descriptions - my eyes have gone square and my fingers numb, but it has been well worthwhile - you can see the shop at http://www.walkerscyclingshop.co.uk/ - we've been told that it will take a while for it to work its way into the matrix, so I might be busy again in a couple of weeks!
In the last month both my shop demo bikes (Giant Anthem X and Cove Stiffee) have been sold, so I've been left off-roading on a rigid singlespeed - which has been interesting in the snow at Cathkin Braes - the snow was a little softer than last time, so the club ride last night was largely rideable, but everyone was having "icing" issues - freezing freehubs, cable and even brake pistons! The biggest problem by far though was when you did have to push, your shoes filled up with snow and you couldn't get clipped in - a big problem on a singlespeed!
We should be taking delivery of our first Bionicon next week though, so not only will I have gears available, but on the fly travel and geometry adjustment. We'll be at the big demo day at Glentress on April 5th with Bionicon - so come along and try some fancy bikes!
The clubs "gravity" athletes had a successful weekend at the Innerliethen Winter Series DH last weekend, Michael Turnbull had a traffic free run this time, and moved up to 6th place, and a lot closer to the top few guys, and James Neill made a big improvement to finish 12th (both in the Youth Category, which regularly sees over 50 entrants!) - more to come on the race from Michael soon.
