FUJI BETSY 2012 / COMPLETE BIKE

Hey Ladies! We have been waiting ages for this -the Betsy in fluro plum! We loved this bright-as-hell paint job when we first saw the bike at Eurobike last summer. It’s taken 8 months for them to get here! There is only one in Greece, and here it is. Small 47 size, so perfect for a shorter girl or boy. Full single speed or fixed componants. It’s a really sweet bike.

FUJI Betsy 520 Euro.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Team VCA is off to our holiday house “skid marx manor”(pictured right) for our Easter break. We made a group decision -to spend the entire weekend watching Jersey Shore. Peio has even given himself a Pauly D “blowout” haircut in celebration. Zoe has packed only a fuchsia pink velour track suit. Geo “the situation” will probrably start a fight with us all (as usual). So we will be seeing you all next week.. We are back open on Tuesday at 11am as normal. You all have a great weekend stuffing yer faces. And no we don’t understand why the Greek Easter is a week after everybody else’s either.

LEADER BIKE USA / 725 COMPLETE

Leader have taken all their parts.. and done something they should have done ages ago.. made a complete bike! There is a limited supply of Leader 725 complete bikes coming into Europe. The shocking thing is the price, if we took the Leader parts there is NO WAY we could build the bike at this price. lets look, frame and fork are 460 Euro then the wheel set is 299 Euro.. thats already 759 Euro.. add the Leader x Andel crank, another 100 Euro..  so how are they doing it complete at 1060.00???

PRE ORDER NOW. limited supply. 3 colour ways. BARGAIN.

1060 Euro.

GOTHAM CARGO BOXES

We are just so stoked on these bike boxes. Hand made in Nafplio. The guys have worked long and hard perfecting the design. They come in two sizes Laurel and Hardy. Laurel elegantly holds two bottles of wine, where as Hardy can hold 14 bottles of beer!

The boxes are built using traditional boat-building skills and modern CNC cutting technology. Built to last -and nice and light too with Laurel coming in at just over a kilo. They will be available really soon as production is underway. we haven’t finalised a price yet, but expect the price of laurel to start at around 50+ euro. More details coming soon.
