....... Gunnar steel frames
....... Independent Fabrication MTB frames
....... Solo Clothing
....... Assos Clothing
We have been busy over the winter searching out new brands which are upto Mosquito standards!
Assos - Simply the best cycle clothing available bar none. We have just received our first delivery of the Assos summer range and it looks better than ever. Just what you will need for long, hot summer rides.
Crumpton - THE best carbon fibre frames available (and that's official, they have recently been awarded carbon fibre builder of the year at the prestigious North American Handbuilt Bike Show). All the frames are custom built so fit in with our philosophy perfectly. Nick Crumpton is a one man band who has previously dealt direct but has decided to change things around a bit and signed up two shops - Mosquito and a new store in Austin Texas owned by a Texan ex-pro who apparently rode the Tour a few times. So if you want the best carbon fibre frame, come and see us if you are in the UK or pop into Lance's new shop if you are stateside!
Ibis - The Ibis Mojo was voted MTBR Magazine's full suspension bike of 2007 and rightly so. The new Mojo SL looks set to build on this success and is proving to be the hot bike of 2008. New to the range is the sub 900g Silk SL road frame which has allready received rave reviews in the magazines.
Independent Fabrication Mountain Bikes - Up until now we have been stocking only the IF road and cross frames. However we are now stocking in their fine MTB frames - the steel Deluxe and the Ti Deluxe. Sweet riding hardtails which simply can't be beaten!
Solo - A unique clothing brand from New Zealand who have been causing quite a stir over the last year. Previously only available online but coming soon to your favourite store. We are pleased to see that Lance is following us on this one as well and stocking Solo, he keeps good company!
Pegoretti Trip
Phil, Roger and Gill (Mosquito owners) recently visited Dario Pegoretti in Italy. We found Dario in fine form, a great thing after his battle with cancer over the past 12 months. Dario is a great man and a fantastic frame builder and we are really proud to be his representative in the UK. Here is the man himself with apprentice Bepe (that's Rogers cap but Dario took a shine to it!)
Mosquito Blog
Matt Seaton, Mosquito sponsored rider, has started posting on the new Mosquito Blog http://mosquito-bikes.co.uk/blog/ Matt will be writing regular race reports from the Mosquito London Cyclo Cross League as well as other race and training related stuff. We are hoping Matt will be joined by another of our 'Cross riders Ian Cleverly and some of the road boys during the season.
We will also be posting stuff up there ourselves - new developments at the shop, interesting stuff we have come across and general bike related chit-chat!

Of course, this top-notch shoe is complete with a carbon midsole, durable synthetic leather upper, grippy lugs, anti-slip heel cup, and micro-adjust buckle with dual offset straps. Our price includes Thermo-Forming the shoe to your foot with the special Shimano Thermo-Form oven.

Professional Bike Fitting
Every bike we sell is fitted to suit you and your riding style. We make comprehensive use of the Sizecycle Fitting System, the majority of our custom builds start with you spending a couple of hours with Roger on the Sizecycle jig, and then only when we are perfectly happy with your fit do we discuss frame options with you. In this way you can be sure that the bike you buy from Mosquito will not only be the best for your budget it will also fit you perfectly.
