Established in 1840 in the Northern Pyrenees in the heart of the Basque region of Spain, this company has been at the forefront of bicycle design since 1923. The company itself is a co-operative based empire so that every employee has a personal interest in the performance of the product.
All frames are hand painted and for most models there are no decals or stickers used, just stencils and paint, which gives every bike an individual look. High profile competitors who use Orbea are Euskatel Euskadi, Jelly Belly and Co.mmunicadi Valencia on the road and - in the triathlon arena - Kate Major, Craig Alexander and Hunter Kemper all hold world triathlon titles on the Orbea timetrial frames.
We have in excess of 100 Orbea road and triathlon specific bikes in stock at any time, and like the rest
of our bikes they too come with a lifetime warranty.

Probably the highest profile bike brand in the world today, thanks in no small part to Australian Stuart O'Grady and team CSC. Two wins in a row on the tortuous Paris Roubaix classic - more stage wins than any other brand - and the highest numbers of any brand in all Ironman events in the world over in the last three years.
Add a lifetime warranty and these bikes literally roll out the door on a daily basis. Gerard Vrooman and Phil White are two highly qualified engineers who, based in Toronto Canada, set out to make the best road and time trial bikes in the world. They have easily achieved this and, unlike most of their competitors, offer a life time warranty to the original purchaser.

With a lifetime warranty on the frameset, Time is one of the few manufacturers in France that has resisted the temptation to have their frames built in Asia. Time is also the only frame manufacturer in the world to actually weave its own carbon fibre from scratch. This means that each area of the frame can be fine tuned to give stiffness or comfort, or a combination of both, depending on the area of the frame and the specific requirement.
Time uses lug technology on their frames, as they argue this gives the ability to tune the ride of the frame whereas single piece molding (or monocoque) does not. These are a great choice for a rider who wants a more traditional looking frame, but also wants the highest performance in the market place. Currently two high profile pro teams are riding Time bikes, Confidis and Bouygues Telecom.
We have more Time bikes in stock than anyone in the southern Hemisphere, so come in and have a look.

Named after Octavio , the Italian rider who won the 1923 and 1924 Tour de France, these bikes are made and assembled just 60km North- West of Venice.
Whilst Bottecchia is relatively unknown in Australia, it has been a high profile brand throughout Europe since Octavio and his brother launched the company in 1925. The most obvious high profile rider to be remembered is Greg Lemond, who won the 1988 Tour De France on a Bottecchia.
