Improvements in Arenal’s clothing shop
As you can see in the picture, after doing improvements at the clothing shop (bigger and better), Maribel is doing a big effort to have the bike ready for the new season. Lot of new stuff, but more room to place it.

Guillermo started this week with a new bike for training. His new Noah already have the new 2011 colors. Sorry for the pics quality, but just mobile phone to take pictures that day…




Novedades Gaerne y Catlike already at our shop
We already received some new stuff from Gaerne and Catlike in our shop. I’ll post pics soon.

And finally I assembled my new custom Helium
After about 10 days since the frame arrived, I was able to have some time to assemble my custom Helium. Ridley did a fantastic job (as allways) wit the paintjob. I just had to tune up some parts as the shifters (white hoods) or make the SRAM Red become a SRAM Blue…
Initial design made on line at Ridley’s website.

Even our sticke matches perfectly!
Here you are the new SRAM Blue that I have customized for my new Helium (will post pics shortly). I just sticked some blue vynil over the origial red paint.

Well, the resto continues and the frame is already primered. I show you how it looked in bare metal, after oxide converter applied and after primer (oh! Well sanded and cleaned in between each process).

Wet sandind (1000) to remove the drops. You have to spent some time with it to have a good result…

Smooth!

I gess the body shop will appreciate this work done before they will paint it!!
I show you the end result of the customized Ridley Noah from Rob Van Leeuwen (Restore Team) who is participating in the XIII International Week for Masters-Challenge Vuelta a Mallorca. As you can see the bike matches perfect with team colours and is not that expensive. More info at: www.ridley-bikes.com
