Phoebes new ride

I just built this bike up yesterday for local girl Phoebe Coers. She's competing in the Southern DH series this season as well as a few other events during the summer.

We took a 2012 Atherton build kit and put it all on a 2013 V3 frame. The bike got the full monty 'Pro Build' starting from changing the suspension fluids for better damping control, to special Enduro lube in the hubs and BB, all the suspension pivots redone etc etc.

Ross MacKay filmed the whole build process, so hopefully I will be able to post that in the near future so you can see how much work goes into my 'Pro Build' service.

New roadies

I've just completed a 'Pro Build' on these two bikes. I take them completely apart and put them back together in a way as to gain the most performance from the standard parts on the bike. It's amazing how much better you can make a bike go with careful attention to detail and correct set up on all the moving components, hubs and bottom brackets especially. Making the bike the most efficient with the given parts is the object. It takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete a full rebuild on a road bike, up to 6 hours on a mountain bike when you have suspension to dial in too.
