The Freshest!

Here it is, the newest of the new, hot off the presses from Ibis, the Tranny. This bike is truly a one of a kind design. You single-speeders out there will really appreciate this... The rear triangle moves on a sliding joint behind the bb to adjust the chain tension. No horizontal drop outs, so no problems with disc brakes. No eccentric hub or bottom bracket, so no extra weight! Plus the frame is 100% sweet riding carbon! This particular ride belongs to Kyle Shatterly. He's got it built up with White Industries hubs and cranks, Stan's wheels and a Fox Terralogic fork. He's just waiting for a gap in the rain to get his slick new machine onto the trail!

(For those that like gears, this bike is perfectly happy built up with a standard front triple and rear cassette.)

Shimano R160

Hello Friends,

The Shimano R160 moldable cycling shoe has arrived at Mock Orange. If you have not been by to check this shoe out you should swing by at your earliest convenience. The shoe has all the features of the R220 in terms of its heat/vacuum mold to the foot capability and carbon fiber sole, but with a three velcro strap fastening system in place instead of the ratchet/buckle system of the R220. The shoe is priced at $180 including the custom molding process, which is $100 less expensive than the R220. Additionally, right now Continental tires are 10% off the normal retail price with the purchase of a pair of R160 cycling shoes.

The Mock Orange Saturday morning road ride will leave the store at 10 am this Saturday. This week the ride will tackle the Williams Road loop out in the Lewisville area, which is about a 35 mile round trip from the shop. We are already looking forward to the weekend!

The 2009 racing season is underway! You can keep up with the Mock Orange Bikes racing action at http://www.blogger.com/www.mockorangeracing.com.

Thanks and we'll see you soon!

Shimano moldable shoe special!

Hello Friends,

We have recently been alerted by Shimano that in their warehouse there is a surplus of a fully heat moldable road cycling shoe called the R160. This is a shoe that was originally intended for European distribution only, but is now available in most sizes in the US via Shimano shoe dealers (such as the M.O.B) for a limited time. We will be bringing select sizes in for stock and will be offering this fully moldable shoe for a price of $180, including the custom heat molding process. That is a savings of $100 when compared to what has up to this point been the most affordable heat moldable Shimano shoe on the US market. We will be stocking these shoes, but for a limited time because they will not be around for long! If you are in need of some road shoes this could be a great opportunity.

Thanks and we'll see you soon!

Demo Saddle Program

Shopping for and purchasing a saddle is one the most difficult tasks cyclists face today. How do you know which seat is going to be the right fit for you? Well, the best way to figure this out is to try a couple of different models to see which ones work and which do not. This is where the Mock Orange Demo Saddle Program comes in to play. Come by, pick up one of our many demo saddles, stick it on your bike and give it a try. If it doesn't work, try another one until you find the perfect match. The program worked for Townes Middleton here, and it can work for you.

Thanks!
