 Litespeed Archon T1

The exciting new Litespeed Archon is being launched at the end of June, so we are giving you a sneak preview here.


Head of Litespeed's engineering department, Brad DeVaney describes the Archon as hitting "the note perfectly" between optimum stiffness and compliance. Adding 200g to the Ghisallo, the 1KG Archon T1's extra weight equates to a more responsive frame that still has the ride of titanium, with every tube being redesigned.


Frame, fork and headset price is £2,999


 

Shimano Custom-Fit shoes now in stock

Because every body (and foot) is unique, Shimano's fully customizable SH-R300s could well be the ultimate road shoes. Thanks to Shimano's Thermo-Form technology we can heat mold plastic panels in the upper and insole to conform exactly to the contours of your foot. Your foot will track perfectly, pedal more powerfully and reduce the possibility of injury to the knees and other joints as well. 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.

Parlee sale

We have a Parlee Z2 ex demo bike in 55cm on offer at only £3000 (£4250 normally) the bike is built up with Ultergra  and  Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels. Give us a call for more details.


 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.


Lower Build Up pricing

At Mosquito we strive to bring you a combination of the best service and the best pricing. We have recently been able to lower our groupset prcing on both Campagnolo and Shimano components for custom builds. You can check out complete bike costs by viewing one of our special Price Calculators such as this one for Pegoretti http://www.mosquito-bikes.co.uk/htdocs/calculators/CalculatorPegoretti.html . And remember that only at Mosquito do you get a LIFETIME FREE SERVICING on all custom builds!


2007 Road Bikes


We reckon we have got all bases covered for the coming year with a great range of exciting brands. We have plenty to choose from as suppliers have been very keen to see their bikes in Mosquito, a great compliment and acknowledgement of our expertise and high level of customer service. I guess it is also a reflection of the fact that nowadays in London it is pretty difficult to find a non 'corporate' bike shop! There aren't many of us truly Independent shops left.

So this is what the range looks like for now:

  • Titanium - Litespeed (we are London's only Litespeed Pro Shop), Merlin (exclusive London dealer), Independent Fabrications (exclusive UK dealer for road and cross) and Moots (exclusive UK dealer) .
  • Carbon- Colnago and Scott.
  • Steel frames - Pegoretti (exclusive UK dealer), Independent Fabrications (exclusive UK dealer), Colnago and Soma.
  • Aluminium - Scott, Pegoretti and Colnago.

The majority of frames we sell are built up as custom builds by us to customers specification. Check out our handy bike build price calculators on the bike pages to give yourself an idea of complete bike costs.


 Mosquito Demo Bikes

We have demo bikes available for extended test rides. The current collection includes an Independent Steel Crown Jewel SEC, an Independent Factory Lightweight, an Independent XS, and a Pegoretti Marcelo. To book a test ride on any of these fabulous bikes contact us on 020 7226 8765 or email [email protected]


Mosquito Finance Packages


It has never been easier to buy a bike from Mosquito as we have negotiated a great deal with Paragon Retail Finance and are really pleased to be able to offer the following options. (All require a minimum 10% deposit.) Bikes or frames purchases over £1000 = 6 months Interest Free or 12, 24, 36, 48 months at 14.9% APR. Bike or frame purchases over £500 = 12, 24, 36, 48 months at 14.9% APR.


2007 Commuting and Folding Bikes


It's great to see more cyclists on the streets of London, lets hope facilities can be improved to cope with this increase. We have strengthened our commuting bike range by adding the Scott range of hybrid bikes to our already very strong Marin range. We will be aiming to keep all the main sizes of Marin bikes in stock at all times.
Sales of folding bikes have gone through the roof over the last 12 months and the Mezzo range is increasing in popularity all the time, no doubt helped by endorsement by Ken Livingstone!


2007 Mountain Bikes

We are  finding a big increase in the number of custom build mountain bikes we are being asked for. Litespeed and Merlin have some great new offerings for 2007, Moots continue to set the benchmark with the YBB and Rigor Mootis whilst at the other end of the scale it is great for us to have the Soma geared and single speed frames available to build up individual, stylish yet well priced hardtails. So if you are looking for something special come and talk to us, you'll have plenty to choose from; Litespeed, Merlin, Moots, Soma.....
