Tyrell bikes 2011 – a special focus

Latest!

Thanks to all the support, we have sold out on most of our FXs (except the Red and Candy Blue). The CSi and CX are IN.  You should come by and have a look at these beautiful, fully warrantied and QC-ed control beauties.  We have stock of CX – White, Csi – Pearl white, Matt black, Blue and Red.  Grab them while you can!

Tyrell bikes – Japan’s number 1 Minibike continues to extend their range in Singapore.  When first introduced into Singapore by the authorised distributor, the Si and PK series of bikes and frames were introduced. The Si was an immediate hit with the quality finishing, colours and weight that one can work towards ( but a gentle reminder you that rider weight cannot exceed 85kg).

The Titanium PK1 and PKZ series were loved by fans of titanium frames but again the desire for a folding saw the introduction of the FX in 2010, My Bike Shop is the proud exclusive dealer for the FX.

For 2011, My Bike Shop continues bring more Tyrells in and the full minivelo range are stocked for viewing. Fully authorised and offering a 24 month warranty backed by Tyrell Japan, Singapore buyers in My Bike Shop, can get hold of the CSi and CXi series of Minibikes from Japan (Fx and PK series are still available). Warranty from Tyrell is not  International warranty  and as one of the authorised Dealers in Singapore, owners of Tyrell can ride in safety and at peace knowing that their bike is not one of dubious quality brought in by parallel importers out for a quick gain of your money with no physical shop or physical presence/commitment. If you are unsure, send us the  serial number, we can help confirm if you are a victim of these defective units and to cease riding for your own safety.

The 451 craze has prompted Tyrell to launch the CSi and CX series of bikes.  The CSi will come in 4 colours and is a Alu-Carbon fiber composite frame and the CX is a Reynolds Steel frame. Both bikes will come fitted with SRAM Red and APEX respectively. For authorised sales that comes with full warranty. Call on us!

With My Bike Shop, a Tyrell bought from us is built  BY experienced bike mechanics, fully supported by Tyrell directly and we operate Mon to Fri for your concerns and issues. Do not be “penny wise” to save a few hundred dollars but “pound foolish” by being coaxed into buying “cheaper” bikes. This will cost you more in the longer run when you cannot even contact the person(s) who sold you the bike! Do the maths, it’s really not alot of savings at the end of the day.

If the buying price is still a factor and you want to try it out,  at least get a receipt with a company registration number so that you have a party to go after in a small claims suit or file for product liability in case you need to file for insurance claims.

Its a better PK design!

Mini-Velos are the latest craze

Mini Velos are bikes are defined as a standard adult road bicycle design except using relatively small diameter wheels. They do not fold but are typically equipped with top end components to give the rider superb performance but lower drag and lower torque to achieve maximum speeds.

 Alex Moultons were the first to start this trend and they have achieved many incredible records and were subsequently banned as the organisers felt the lower riding height gave the riders unfair competition. Coventry CC pursuit team were unstoppable on the track, their Moultons allowing them to keep in a tight group to reduce aerodynamic drag; road riders benefited from the reduced aerodynamic drag of the small wheels and, with reputation established, the Moulton became acceptable to the most discerning club cyclists.

Following the introduction of the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) rule 1.3.018, Moultons are not permitted in road-racing events – this is why you never see them in events like the Tour de France – but they are still used in time-trials and for ultra-distance events. Makes one wonder why no one raised the issue of their smaller wheels?

Alex Moulton continues to offer these fantastic bikes and have moderated the highly priced (but also highly sought after) NS series with the TSR series to offer cyclists an option to own a Dr Alex Moulton inspired lattice construction “air frame”

Anyway it has only been the recent year that the MiniVelos came back to the scene with the first credible offer from Tyrell in Japan and they offered a Scandium/Titanium frame to match the 20 inch rim wheels.

 MBS brought them in and as a result we have the widest range of MiniVelos too.

You may have seen some of there on the roads and they are incredibly fast. In Japan , they are already Number 1 and its also because of this  that many leading folding bike manufacturers like Dahon challenge the status quo.

Dahon entered into the Minibikes segment with the Mako (discontinued), PAQ Hammerhead and Smoothhound and made a strong impression in Japan.

With the introduction of the lock jaw hinge system, the Dahon Mid Town bikes (as Dahon calls) it are gaining just so MANY fans:  Smoothhound (featuredon WSJ Asia),  Hammerhead and Silvertip.

The bikes are truly superb to ride and beautiful to own.  

Do you own a MiniVelo yet?  Time to get one now, just come to MBS! We will show you which one will cause heads to turn and yet offer you the perforamnce you need.WSJ Asia on Foldable bikes
