Roc d’Azur – Report 3 October 12th, 2009
Guy Bowden from Flow MTB reports…
Some Wallace and Gromit inspired helmets from Urge - the "Down-o-matic".
The 'Endur-o-matic' - Looks very "Chips" (the TV show, not the editor).
The 'Dirt-o-matic' - for that Bowling ball on your head look.
Raceface and Sunline battle it out for the most colourful wide bars - Raceface are winning - they've got 6 different colours
Sunline only have 3 (not counting the plain silver/black ones).
Colour coordination - looks good to me.
Colourful, lightweight chains from MSC.
"New cycles" - ti hard tail - "measure twice, cut once" - or maybe measure 50 times - you don't want to get that wrong.
Nakamura 140 team Pro.
Gives you wings! - the Nakamura XC racer.
A nice Salsa Moto Rapido.
Surlys and Salsas.
A retro Salsa top.
Colourful Twenty6 stems.
... and some light multi-coloured pedals.
A waterproof bag - it won't go underwater, but it will keep things dry in a rain storm.

Nice Euro camel toe next to the Salsa bikes.
On that man you mean? ;-/
who makes the waterproof bag? are they going to be available in the uk?
Male? Female? Herma?
Surely cycling shorts with pads are excluded anyway!
Is Nakamura not a n other Raleigh brand?
How good are they?
cheers
TS
@Benji. Yes. A padded mangina snout. Nicely composed. Must have taken ages to set that shot up? Excellent work
I had a Nakamura road bike. Amazing value for money and a a good bike. Don’t know if they’ve got anything to do with Raleigh though. French Intersport makes them I think.
Banjowhacker – I’ll pass on your praise to Guy
nakamura are go sport how brand. Like decathlon they cut the middle men hence they can offer very good value bike. But like decathlon they are very dull bikes.
took a bit of finding but if you look through the exhibitors list you’ll find vertical eight
http://www.blogdecodesign.fr/accessoire/sacs-vertical-eight-v8/
I like the Urge down-o-matic, no sign of a uk distributor on their site though.
Sorry – been riding my bike the past few days. Nick hart is right – Vertical Eight. The guy said they make fully submersible bags, but only for the military right now. The bag in the photo will be around 110 euros when it’s out.
Camel toe – hmmm. not sure that was intended.
Urge – they’re not available in France until Xmas – not sure on a UK distributer yet. The Endur-o-matic is very light by the way – same as an XC lid.
they’re not available in France until Xmas
I’ll double check that and let you know if you want.
Well just talk to the LBS. They placed an order for september
2008 so you might actually be wrong in term of date, but the other way around. They might come very very late in the year.
