Spring has arrived

Brett sent me this email
To mark the sun appearing he put a white saddle and bar tape on
Amazing the difference it makes!

Vanessa's Z5 (custom paint)

This is Vanessa's new bike - the paint is wonderful (I call it our Jimi Hendrix bike)
Vanessa was telling me that if she has a coffee stop other girls take pictures of here bike!



The main colour is plum, with white panels and pink decals

We built this late last year, its been brought in so we can put some Zipp 404s on the bike
Should be sweet!

Geralds Z1 custom (very special indeed)

I know we are spoilt here - we get to play with all the gucci kit
But even for us, this is a special build indeed




Its a Z1 custom with Di2 and the new Zipp 404 Firecrest wheels
Gerald has now taken the stickers of the wheels and says it looks much better !

Gerald has ordered a Kent Eriksen MTB with us for his trip to the rockies this summer, but before that he is doing alot of the stages of the Giro. And this is his weapon of choice....






A big fan of the etched decals....





I was cursing Gerald as he left yesterday - I thought I had finally gotten over my Di2 itch, but it is back with a vengeance again !

Ben's Z5 SL

Here is Ben's Z5 SL - its a cracking build, and just my size so I have been asking to borrow it when we go on our Sunday rides !
It came together really nicely -SRAM force BB30, Mavic SL wheels and a really nicely cockpit combo of Easton EC90, Thomson stem and post and a Fizik Antares




We tried to emphasize the white of the wheels, the saddle and the SRAM force

Jerome's newest frame...

Jerome has been a busy boy since the summer; in that time he has ordered 2 custom Z1s, a custom cross bike and now this beauty. It is an IF XS with matte metor grey painted lugs. It looks sensational in the flesh
Jerome lives in the Cote d'Azur and truly lives to cycle. He sends me wonderful pics of the hills overlooking the ocean. I am very jealous indeed !

Ed's Z5 SL

Another cracker !
Z5 SL Large with the short HT
The cockpit is Deda Zero 100, and the gruppo is SRAM Force with the BB30 cranks
Wheels are the new Mavic 2011 Ksyrium SRs
All in all a really great build - Ed wanted this to be a dream bike, but something that could be ridden and abused every day
Mission accomplished !

Robert's Z5 SL

This one is a bit tidy indeed
Its a ML with the tall HT, and has Super Record, a FSA SRM and Lightweights
Robert has bought quite a few bike from me now, and we joke that every time we start talking about a new one it will be an expensive project as his existing fleet is so nice



But this is very special and will be Robert's out and out race bike


Another look at the 'ghost' decals
