LAPIERRE FACTORY VISIT 2010 LAUNCH








We have just returned from Dijon, France where we were lucky enough to be invited to see the lapierre factory and pre launch of the 2010 Lapierre Cycles. The trip began with test rides on the new Lapierre , Spicy Zesty and X control (All of which exceeded expcetations) They then treated us to a tour of the biggest Wine makers in Dijon followed by a rather intensive wine tasting activity. Mr Lapierre himselff then took us to a 15 century restaurant for a five course meal which you guessed it! more wine. An early start the next morning was planned to visit the Lapierre Factory in Dijon. Expectation of the company mirrored the hospitally we reicieved of the weekend, These guys are truly a very proffesional company with everything down to the smallest of detail planned and executed to the highest of levell. Mr Lapierre himself is very much a part of the day to day running of the company, His passion still obvious in his brand whilst he talked through the running procedures of the company.




Photos of the 2010 bikes will be reavealed her shortly! So stay tuned!

Have Lapierre thought about designing a model with the GravityDropper incorporated into the post?

Now there's an idea....

The Lapierre bike line has been released and it could never be better! I loved the feel of the ride. The frame was built well and the designs are absolutely fantastic. I am kind of worried about certain compatibility issues.
