It’s modest, but it’s our new EU homeWe’ve been busy over the Xmas break, packing boxes and hauling stuff from our old office, on the industrial park near Rossignol world HQ, to a modest but homely space in an old shop.
We’re not fully up and running yet (France Telecom seem to think it’s normal that a simple re-connection of a phone line takes 6+ weeks…) but we’re gradually getting unpacked and the office will be fully open by next week as planned. We’re situated in the town of Voiron, near Grenoble in the French Alpes, opposite a church dating to 1150 AD. There’s a pizza place next door, plus a butcher, baker… but no candlestick maker. Instead we have a shop selling Foie Gras… The reason we chose a shop space is that we’re going to be holding open days for some selected customers in SE France, plus it gives us the light and space to have a mini showroom of our bikes. It’s not a glamorous space, but it’s clean and tidy and much less clinical than the corporate office box space we’ve been in for the past few years. If you are ever in the area, or perhaps heading to the Megavalanche (Alpe d’Huez is 1hr down the road) then don’t hesitate to drop by: Mountain Cycle Europe SARL, 73 Rue Sermorens, 38500 Voiron, France – Phone remains unchanged +33 4 76 35 80 06

Super Fury review by MTB Trail Review & MTBR!We’ve just received word from MTB Trail Review that they have finished with the Fury review, and the best news is; they like it! A Lot! Not only have they posted it on their site (which is well worth checking out btw, as it’s a great read) but they have also flowed it over to MTBR.com so even more people can read all about it. “I took this bike on several long North Georgia epics and it did great as an all day bike. The Mountain Cycle Fury was light and nimble while still having the stiffness require for the super tech. It was fun to drop the seat and whip this bike around. The shorter wheelbase and steep head angle made it a fast, nimble turner. Tight, twisty single track is where the frame really shined. If you are used to trails that require fast, tight turns (like or tree infested single track), this could be the bike for you. Stiff overall design with fast steering…”
The Good News
