DMT shoes and Oakleys

Well the giro is over with for another season and although Nibali didn't claim a second year on the trot for Cannondale Liquigas it was a close run race with Scarponi putting up an equally good fight and Contador head and shoulders above the filed especially on the climbs , almost a bit to good but i will not let my personel feelings interfere here and just say well done to all. Now the shop has been busy of recent with what seems a funny year so far with sales up and down all over the place but far more expensive bikes rolling out the shop this year than ever before which is great and the workshop is rammed and has been for months now, i dont think poor little Szabi has seen day light for ages but as long as he has his daily 2 tons of fruit he seems quite happy. Now we do like an Italian product or two in the shop and our newest is DMT footwear.

DMT have been around since the late 70's producing various forms of sporting footwear and are a main contributor and supplier to NIKE yes thats right the biggest sports company in the world get their cycling shoes from these guy's just ask the likes of Cavendish for starters who makes his shoes with the tick sawn on them. The distributor is bringing in 2 models at present the Prisma pictured above and the Radial pictured below.

The Radial is based on light weight and comfort hence no weighty buckles but an anatomic padded tongue for comfort, an external anatomic heel counter for stability and a super lovely carbon sole.
The Prisma although weighing the same as the Radial offers a one peace lace system called the RAM, which as you adjust the widget on the side of the shoe tenions evenly across the foot top so although giving a secure fit allows an even pressure across the foot for comfort. For those of you like myself who live and breathe speedplay pedals DMT even offer a speedplay specific fit which is great and offers a stupidly low stack height aswell. The full 2012 range beginning under £100 will be available from around September but if you fancy something a little different and not on everyone else's feet this summer pop in the shop and ask to try some. I am awaiting my first pair to arrive in the next week so i can let everyone know what kind of fit and comfort they offer as i ride Northwaves due to a wide fit so keep checking back for updates.
Oakley's have also landed in the shop now and we have all been busy using the custom order option and coming up with the silliest colour ways possible on Jawbones which are still the glass of the moment it seems.

We have found that so far all custom orders have been delivered within 4 working days so treat yourself for the summer. If you need advice on which colour/type of lenses to go for which really is the important bit just give us a call or pop in with your requirements.
Apart from the amazing world of bicycles i do also have some form of a private life which this weekend involved my lovely wife's 40th birthday and a visit to Bournemouth ink which is a yearly Tattoo festival here in the UK and all i can say is that the entertainment was great and the artists were awesome it's such a shame my pics were crap as there were some amazing peaces and my photos will do them no justice however if you get a chance to check out Rakhee her portraits are just stunning.
Well that's it for tonight folks the shop website is being updated as we speak and over the next few days will get a little more up to date as will my I tunes collection as i need something to listen to while pressing all these buttons.
If your into health and diet's and stuff check out Szabi's blog page for the latest on Fruitarians.
