Manic. Totally manic. But we made it.

It was absolutely flat out in the Real Cycles workshop today. Between getting the Commencal fleet ready for transportation to the show, keeping up to date with repairs and getting new bikes out before the weekend while waiting for remaining wheels to arrive for the DH team bikes, there was hardly time for coffee (well, there was, but there was
hardly time...).
We had resigned ourselves to accepting that the wheels weren't going to make it and semi didn't expect the Real Cycles team DH bikes to be ready for the show. But, mid repair/lunch/mail order enquiry/poo, five large boxes arrived with a knock at the back door. I still didnt' expect the required rear wheels to be there, because frankly, its been that sort of week. Thankfully they were, but it was bittersweet....my workload for the afternoon just doubled! I thought you said this was going to be a relaxing day, Steve....
Anyway, we made it to the show and I can confirm the following: The Real Cycles DH team bikes are there. The Commencal replica
DH team,
Meta 5 team and
Absolut 4x team bikes are there. The full Commencal range are on display for you you test ride. Roam is playing on the flatscreen. And the beer is in the fridge.
See ya tomorrow!
