Sidas Drywarmers - now in stock

It's an age-old problem - how to quickly and efficiently dry out your wet shoes, especially if you need to wear them again the next day.

Sidas have come up with a very neat solution: The Sidas Drywarmers are inserts which slip inside your shoes or boots, and then heat up to a toasty 50degrees C - enough to efficiently dry footwear without damaging synthetic or natural materials. Plus the built-in UV light has a natural anti-bacterial action to keep footwear fresh.

 
Far more effective than scrunched up newspaper, and an ideal gift for cyclists at this time of year. They work just as well at drying out gloves - they're compact enough to slip inside most sizes.

The Drywarmers are mains powered and come ready to use with a standard UK plug.
 
In stock now - just £25.00 a pair.

Bikeradar/Cycling Plus look at the new Madone 5.2

A nice write-up on the updated Trek Madone 5.2. Bikeradar love it and we agree - Trek are somehow improving on the already excellent Madone year by year:

Stuart's Dogma 60.1

We might be biased, but this is a particularly lovely colour scheme:

...and it has built up into a very elegant bike - form and function.

Andrew's Parlee Z5

Another fantastic silver Z5. This one is sporting the long-awaited and rather gorgeous Enve seatpost, with matching stem. Rotor cranks, Speedplay pedals, Campag Record gruppo and our own handbuilt wheels (H Plus Son rims on Chris King hubs) add up to a very compelling package.

Duncan's Speed Concept

Trek's Speed Concept is amazingly aerodynamic and really looks the part in Stealth black. The ultimate triathlon machine.

Parlee Z-Zero Launch Event

We had a fantastic time yesterday evening, as Bespoke hosted the launch event for the new Parlee Z-Zero. Bob Parlee and Tom Rodi flew in from the USA to introduce the new frame and give a talk on Parlee's design philosophy and manufacturing process.

A great crowd turned up to hear the talk, and admire a selection of beautiful Parlee bikes.

It's always a treat to hear Bob talking about bikes and this was no exception. We look forward to seeing Bob and Tom again - in the meantime get in touch with us for more info on the Z-Zero or any Parlee frame.

The crowd listens intently
