News and Reports

Monday 4th February
retul has arrived in the UK ! I am thrilled to say that we have the first and only Retul 3D motion capture system in Europe in our studio. Retul allows me to capture fitting data dynamically, and in real time so we can make changes to your riding position instantaneously and with sub mm accuracy. Gone are the days of a goniometer and static measuring!

I am back from Denver where I attended the annual SICI symposium. Now in its 2nd year, it brings today the great and the good in the world of cycling: scientists, academics, fitters, physical trainers and athletes all attend for 3 days of presentations, discussion and debate

I found it great fun and highly informative

Thursday 1st November
Back from Colorado! I attended an Advanced Fitting course – the SICI’s highest accreditation. Amongst the classes I took were Triathling Fitting, Foot/Pedal Interface, Advanced Fitting Issues, Custom Bike Design and Advanced Fitting Technology. The week I spent in Colorado was incredibly interesting and I am looking forward to putting into practice the new skills I have learnt. I also undertook my bi-annual pilgrimage the the best bike shops/fitting studios in the US and it was great to bounce ideas off these established fitters. Finally we have completed a deal that I think will be of extreme value in our aim to constantly improve the customer experience of our clients. This will be introduced in 2008 and I am extremely excited by this

Tuesday 2nd October
Back from Interbike – still in a bit of a daze! Had a great time and met some interesting people – hopefully 2008 will bear the fruit of these discussions. Stay tuned ! Managed to do the Las Vegas International Triathlon after the show – held in the stunning Lake Mead. A week of beer, pizza and mexican food is not exactly ideal so I was astonished to come 3rd in my AG. It must have been my Z4. On second thoughts it was all me !

Sunday 2nd September
Just back from the annual Eurobike exhibition in Germany The big product news is that Lightweight will be releasing a clincher version of their standard wheels. Specs sound amazing: c.1080 grams for a carbon clincher. Delivery is slated for March 2008 but I expect that demand will massively outstrip supply, so if you are looking for a wheel for the sportive season pre-order them soon !

Thurs 2nd August
We were honoured that GQ asked us to build a bike for an article they were running to mark the Tours arrival. Their brief: the best bike in the world. our response: a Parlee Z1 with Lightweights. The article in in the review section
