BMC-SA "We fell in love with BMC when we visited Eurobike in 2010. Once we got our legs over a BMC we were hooked. BMC is a truly Swiss precision organization. We have visited their factory in Grenchen Switzerland and were amazed by how fanatical BMC is about quality. From the design, to the testing to the finishing, BMC focus on function, weight and quality. When you buy a BMC you buy a superior product. That is fact! Welcome to our world" The BMC-SA team. The new website features news, product information, dealer info and all the latest on their sponsored riders who are dominating the local scene. Check out the new BMC South Africa website here

Here it is the Team Machine SLR01 specked with Campagnolo Chorus 11psd, Campagnolo Scirocco wheelset and Easton cockpit. Beautiful bicycle and at an unbelievable price. Anyone serious about their riding cannot afford to miss out on this deal.

BMC have given us an answer... "4 or 5 riders used the impec in the Tour; Some of them changed for different stages. Santaromita Moinard Morabito All these three used the impec for most of the Tour, especially the last stage. For the others it gets a bit difficult who used which bike when. You can see the impec clearly by the red SNC at the head tube compared to the SLR01."

DRIVETRAIN CLEANING,LUBRICATION AND BIKE WASH You will need the following: Small paint brush .Container with paraffin in it.Bicycle or motorcycle degreaser(T4)Chain lubeMultipurpose spray lubricantCan of Mr MinUsing a small paint brush and some paraffin is the best way to clean your chain, cassette, chainrings and front and rear derailuers. Make sure you don’t get any paraffin on your rear disc brake rotor! Once you have scrubbed the grime off all the drivetrain parts spray the whole bike with your degreaser and let it sit for a few minutes. Then using a low pressure hose pipe spray the bike until its clean. Once the bike is dry, apply the chain lube of your choice and spray the front and rear derailuers with a multipurpose lubricant. Then polish your bike and tyres with Mr min to make it smell nice and shine!

In early 2006 a group of legendary industry designers gathered together as a coalition with the sole purpose of designing and developing beautiful, durable and high-performing bicycle components. Their aim was to create a product line of "price purposeful" cross-country, downhill, freeride and all-mountain offerings that reduced weight, increased strength and enhanced component-specific performance. Through the latest in cutting-edge technologies, Loaded Precision Products was born, offering riders everywhere the ability to customize and enhance their particular bikes with exceptionally designed and trail-proven performance components. The focus of Loaded Precision Products was to utilize every available manufacturing technology to get the most out of each component created. Using the most advanced processes available and high-grade alloys such as select 7075 and 6061 certified aluminum, we have produced a line of products that is world-class in weight and durability. From our TaperLite AmX, AmXc and X-lite Carbon handlebars to our high-performance AmX and AmXC rims, we have riders covered on any terrain they may wish to explore. And with seven killer color options, riders can certainly quench their thirst for "bling". Want to learn more about Loaded?

Changed the layout to shop by category as opposed to shop by brand - much more user friendly now. Check it out - www.motioncycles.co.za

Thanks. We originally had it setup that there is a dropdown box to choose seat clamp size, then a second dropdown box below that to choose colour - but the only problem with this method is that it doesn't show the price - you have to click on a pricing chart that opens up in a new window and then it shows you all the prices - it may look nicer but for the average user it may be confusing not seeing the pricing shown clearly.

Hi Mampara Have halved the header size, and made the actual site smaller - 1110px vs the 1209px it orginally was) - Please see if it makes a difference for you? Thanks

Hi Seeker911 The store is setup to show a "last 5 products sold" and a "top selling products" box on the right hand side of the screen - will kick in as soon as more than 5 products have been sold. Cheers

Thanks for the positive crit - really appreciate it! Have halved the size of the header, sorted out the Ellsworth Glimpse pricing and will see if I can make a plan to make the header a link back to home (and good idea about the search bar, will see if it can be done.) Cheers
