Cycling Gurus Join Our Gold Coast Bike Shop

A couple of new faces in the shop that I'd like to introduce (photos coming soon - takes a while to get a good shot of these guys!).

Phil Alderton is our Mountain Bike Guru

Phil knows more about Mountain Bikes than just about anyone - from the incredibly technical to the simple facts, Phil's your man.

Gary Perrin is our Bike Mechanic Guru

Gary works hard at keeping our customer's bikes working and fully serviced - he's great at it and is a very friendly guy to boot.....not that I've ever kicked him!

Photos Coming Soon

We'll get there pics shortly - this is not either of them on the right - I've just added that for a bit of colour!

For friendly and professional service in bike shops here on the Gold Coast, we'd be thrilled if you came on into Palm Beach Supercycle.

Cheers

Great Bike Riding At Surfers Criterium

What a great days racing in the criterium up in Surfers Paradise yesterday.

Some big name road bike stars like Robbie McEwen, Nick Gates, Jason Phillips and more raced around for an hour at a furious pace in the stifling heat - those guys really motor.

In the race before the pros a young fellow by the name of Michael Hepburn smashed the B Grade guys with a very, very strong performance. Michael made all the play and all the breaks and still had enough to outsprint his rivals at the end for a pretty comfortable win.

I'd say he's a name to watch out for in the future.

I Saw Santa In The Shop!

Wow!

We've been flat out in the shop for a couple of weeks now because Santa comes in to check out and buy a few bikes (apparently the Elves have been having some equipment troubles and Santa has been buying bikes from shops like mine to make up the production shortfall).

Santa posed for a photo over the counter

What I Tell Santa

I tell Santa a couple of things:

• I've been good and deserve to be on the 'Nice' list
• When he buys a bike he should look for a good solid build (a bit like Santa himself!)

Guide To Bike Quality

A very rough guide for build quality is price - generally if you pay a little more, you'll get a better bike. A bike that lasts longer and is cheaper to maintain.

If you buy a complete bike for $50 the chances are pretty high that it's not made from the best or strongest components.

Santa loves giving bikes that are great value and last a long time - that's why he shops here!

Just asks the guys here - myself (Roger), Phil, Gary or Hayden and we'll take great care of you and give you the right advice.

Cheers

Roger

P.S: I just like I always suspected, Santa said he does get hot in his suit when he visits the Gold Coast.
