17 Prompt d211s complete Paris Roubaix

13 Apr

I have to admit I was a little nervous watching the prompt D211 road bikes heading off with their new hire owners for the weekend to compete in the notoriously tough (on bike and body) paris roubaix challenge.

image

I should not have worried though all the bikes returned successfully, a little dirtier , having had one puncture and with a couple of headsets needing attention. Nothing major but I will be in the Prompt workshop in Bourg d’Oisans for a few days servicing them for their probable next attack up Alpe d’Huez.

Is it about the bike?

6 Jul

Here at station PROMPT we get to ride with a different set of fantastic people every week. People come because of the mountains and they come here because of the bikes. Add a person in between these two things and you have a life changing experience. Think that is hyperbole- you should read our feedback sheets!  Anyway it means we get to see a lot of bikes- usually bikes from the expensive end of the spectrum from all the big brands. All of them sporting that years shape or technology or design cue and all of them brilliant machines. In our two day Marmotte tour last week one of the eight riders was on a PROMPT that he hired from us. We rode the Telegraphe first. The PROMPT was first up. Then the tough side of the Galibier. First up again. Finally the 21 bends of Alpe d’Huez. You guessed it. Is it about the bike?
