Many of you have been asking us what Acai is and why we choose to put it in our smoothies or breakfast bowls. Acai is a berry native to Central and South America. It contains anthocyanins, flavonoids and is full of antioxidants that help repair damaged cells. We choose to put it in our smoothies and bowls along with banana, honey, avocado and cinnamon.

So instead of grabbing a burger or another meal that will make you feel bloated and lethargic today, come grab an Acai! We promise you won’t regret it.

OMG… No. 22 Reactor

IMG_0779Despite using the most visually disturbing background ever for their booth, No.22 Bicycle Company have proved once again that they are the masters of understated beauty. Shown above is the new Reactor frameset; featuring a more aggressive race geometry than the Great Divide and dropping a lot of weight through several design tweaks including the use of a carbon seat tube/mast.

This show bike tips the scales at 5.9lbs, which is well below UCI limits, thanks to the ee cycleworks brakes, Cannondale cranks & the bankruptcy inducing Reynolds RZR wheelset.

UK pricing is yet to be confirmed but expect to find your wallet up to 4k lighter… Oh, and if you’d like to replicate this show build you’d be looking at 5 figures… Time to sell an organ or 2 (it’ll be worth it).
