Sable and Argent

Now you’re probably sitting there thinking that it is a little over the top to be making a post about a humble pair of grips. Bare with us.

ODI LongNecks are amongst the original and most comfortable BMX grips avaiable. They come in a plethora of colours to go with your bike, and the flanged and ribbed design make these like a cushion for your hands.

Ok. So maybe it is a little over the top. But we totally rate these grips!

A new range of stock from Brisbane company BO Gear is now in store.

The BO range is all hand made in Brisbane using new and reclaimed materials.

We’ve got the “Strap-Ons” pedal straps that mate up with a BMX pedal for a super secure and comfortable foot retention system. Available in black, white, red and blue stitching for the little attention to detail that really counts.

The “Love Handle” hip-pouches and inner tube coin pockets are in stock now too!

With great expectations, several large Rapha boxes were wheeled in-store this afternoon. Each one lovingly packed by Rapha HQ in London.

Inside we find the many new items for 2010 such as the fantastic ‘Country Jersey’ (a must have for your collection), and a wide range of winter goodies such as Pro Team Gloves, 3/4 Bibs, Arm and Leg warmers, Overshoes, Winter Jerseys and many more.

Our verdict on the 2010 range – expectations exceeded again!

Down at S&A we have extended our opening hours (starting on Monday 8th March), now open 7 days a week with late night Thursdays and Sunday trading – come down and hang out on those cold lazy winter weekends!

The first issue of Fast Pace has hit the store.

For a first issue of something Fast Pace has done really well for it self. They scored and issue with Chris Fonseca and includes a bunch of reviews about stuff you are actually interested in and a heads up on up and coming fixed freestyle riders. Among other things.

Really looking forward to what they will have for issue 2!

For now there are still a handful of copies of Issue 1 but they are going fast. Pop in and ask for a copy. There are stickers too, just to prove that you are cool enough to read it!

Well done Hugo Gaspar – First place in the RBCC kids race at Heffron, where Hugo took the overall handicap as well as the under 9 events. Hugo is an avid Skullcandy fan as well as a fast rider!

You may be surprised to learn that the Derbi Boulevard 125cc and a MOMODESIGN helmet costs less than $4,000 on the road, with 12 months rego and green slip. Derbi, with its Piaggio engine, 2 year warranty and good looks make this one of the best scooters currently available, with an unbeatable price tag.

Regain your time and start getting more done – get on these two wheels!

With only their backpacks, water bottles and high energy cereal bars, Gypsey and Liam peddled into the shop after setting off from Brisbane only 5 days ago, pumping out 200km’s days!

Gypsey (in the white Tee) from the super cool Gear Brisbane and his mate Liam from Melbourne – Nice one guys, hats off to you for completing this epic ride, and doing it just for the fun of it!

This week we saw the arrival of some brand new leather goods in store.

Straight from France, the Gilles Berthoud range of leather saddles, bar tape and bar plugs are ever so subtly classy. Perfect to set off that new build of yours, in style.

Yesterday we had the fine pleasure of meeting comedian and actor Robin Williams, who is in town to record for the Happy Feet sequel.

Robin rode down to the store in the afternoon for some shopping, a look around and chat as well. We talked bikes, bike lanes, and he revealed he has 70 bikes!! We can definitely say Robin is a genuine and down-to-earth, nice guy!

While he was here he snapped up some Rapha gear and Alan Myerson jewellery.
