Black Art Bikes, new shop

Hi guys,

I am opening a small cycle outlet store up based behind 'Inspirations', top of Gt Paxton hill, in the Ind Park, same unit but my own entrance. (Signs on order) I am opening on Saturday morning 9 to 12 for a quick look. Tyres and tubes etc available, service/repair bookings being taken. Larger items on the way with much more after Xmas. Pop in for a nose or a chat.

To give you some background, I have been racing for over 20 years with a break for the last 3 as I have been living/working in Australia. Long story but flying Helicopters remote was not for me. I have raced for various teams and competed in New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, UK and Australia. I raced at 1st Cat level and competed in World Masters TT and road events.

I will be working for 'Rotor' one day per week, they are an 'X' sponsor and I will be able to help with advise on power meters and Qrings if you have any questions. I've been around the block as it were so please ask away, racing questions, training, tyre/tubular choice, maintenance, energy product use, general riding etc....

Coffee is coming in 2015, with a few more plans up my sleeve !!

Thanks Paul

Sounds good, being out of town it could be a good destination for a coffee stop if you can get word around. One thing the area does seem to lack and which people travel a fair distance for is bike fitting, any plans on that front?

Hi Paul VR what is your full name thanks Geoff

Hi Geoff,
