The Madone 7 Project One Review

BikeRadar's tester James Huang (aka AngryAsian) has reviewed the Trek Madone 7 Project One. Have a read and see what you think, better still sweet-talk Matt and take his for a spin and form your own opinion and then go and build your own.

The Tour is half way and so is the Trek 'Ride to Win Sale'

It's the best time of the year to be watching cycling on TV, so most of us have been watching Le Tour from our couches in the middle of the night. Don't forget to make some time to get out on the bike too.
Of course, if you were thinking about a new ride it's also one of the best times of the year to get a new Trek from M1, with some incredible saving on selected Trek models. Come in and talk 'tour' at M1 Cycles today.

The Sneaky Rats Ride

Mountain biking the Gladstone way. 

There's a mountain bike in there...somewhere?

The 2014 Trek Madone - We have the video!!

Hot from the editing room is the video of the latest version of the Trek Madone. 2014 sees Trek breaking now ground with an even lighter fuselage - "Feather Bending" at 725grams. Other improvements include better braking and ride compliance. Simply; Lighter and Faster....Who would have thought that possible from the winningest road bike on the planet.

Colony BMX Follow the Lines Tour

Yesterday part of the Colony BMX Team came through the shop with the Follow the Lines Tour. On tour were riders, Clint Miller, Cooper Brownlee, Brandon Van Dulken, Tom Stretton, Mick Bayzand, Chris Courtenay, Jourdan Barba, Zac Miner and Jack Kelly.

 About 10:15am we saw our first lot of locals line up for the 11am arrival of the Colony Team. By the time the Team arrived at 11am there was nearly 50 kids crammed into the store eager to meet there idols. The team ran a old school bunny hop comp out the front on the footpath too see who could hop the most bikes.

Shortly after the team and kids headed for the PCYC park where the kids mixed it up amongst the pros for the best session the Gladstone park has seen in a very long time; some big tricks were thrown down. The team then headed off to check out some popular street spots with some of the locals before they heading to Rockhampton for day 3 of the "Follow the lines tour".

The Long Awaited!!!!!

Check your calendars...it's that time of year again!! Great Bikes at even better prices.

 The Trek Tour Sale is here again!!!

See what all the fuss is about in store before its too late!!

Massive savings on selected Road, Tri, Mountain and Fitness bikes.

See Matt and the team in the shop today before you miss out !!!

I'll keep this short and sweet - Mr Anderson, the M1 bunch is big enough for only one Cougar Chaser. So please, PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!!!!!!  Seriously!

Don't forget the Sunday rides tomorrow - MTB Dirty Rats leaving Choice Petroleum on Sunvalley at 5:00am, Sunday Roadie Rollers leaving the shop at 5:30am and the L Plate MTB ride leaving Choice Petroleum at 8:00am.

I do believe that there may also be an afternoon MTB ride heading out around 3:00pm tomorrow for those that struggle to get out of bed super early on a Sunday.  More details to come - keep an eye on Facebook.

The Cycling Tifosi

The Kids Bikes -when you want the best, for them.

You can change the construction materials and methods for bicycles, but you can never change the sheer joy of riding bikes; That always stays the same - We know it. Ask someone if they remember their first bike, the answer is almost always, "Hell Yeah!" The sense of freedom and exhilaration is second to none; there's nothing better than 'escaping' on a bike.

At M1 Cycles we believe the bike is the best invention that man has ever come up with, bar none.We also believe that you should remember your first bike for all the right reasons; that's why we believe in Trek's Kids Bikes. Bikes that give years of trouble-free use and grow as fast as they do. Treks kids bikes feature their exclusive Dialed Fit System that allows the bike to grow with the young rider. Not only is the frame and fork Dialed to fit right, but also components  such as: Handlebars, saddles, grips and pedals. 'Dialed' is the formula for optimum sizing and adjustability.

"Aint" no supermarket bike. These bikes are built the same Trek Quality we know and love, it applies across the whole kids range.

Dialed + Quality = A bike your child can ride for a long time.

M1 Cycles Trek Kids

We want every kid to have great first-bike experiences and memories, and a long biking life.

The All Weather Tyre

It's not often we get excited about tyres but the NEW All Weather range from Bontrager have got us wanting to get out in the rain and ride them.Get more information on our All Things Trek page.

The Cougar Chaser

Now there is only ONE rider in the M1 pack who would even contemplate - let alone actually put leopard print bar tape on his Madone.  Of course it would be none other than Fabbio aka Chris Hughes.

I can't wait to see your leopard skin bib knicks when they arrive Cougar.... I'm sure you'll forget to put a jersey on when you ride in them!

Di2 Diagnostic / Firm ware updates and Adjustments

For all your problems Di2 related, see the most advanced trained store in the whole CQ region, for second to none firmware updates and simple gear adjustments. With 2 trained and qualified bicycle trades persons instore at all times, there's no job too big or too small. From simple tube changes, gear adjustments to complete overhauls. M1 Cycles rates are not only reasonable, but affordable. For a professional service see none other than the professional bike shop in town.

"We don't just sell bikes, we don't just ride bikes, we fix bikes!"

For anyone who has a Di2 equipped bike, there is a current firmware update to enable the multi-shift feature; which means you can simultaneously change 2 or 3 gears at a time or even from one end of the cluster to another with the simple hold of the up or down shift button. You can adjust the speed of the 'multi-shift' from a slow speed to a faster speed shift for all your race winning gear changes. You can also alter the configuration of what buttons shift what gears. If you have a Di2 bike and wish to have the firmware checked for an update, or alter the configuration of the shifting buttons,  or enable the multi shift feature, simply bring your bike to M1Cycles and have it checked out by the most trained and up too speed Di2 technicians in CQ.

As our old friend Wade Morgan would say, "Come Out."
