Light Blue

A welcome return to comfortable, practical and traditional cycling...
First produced in 1895 by J.A. Townsend in Cambridge, "Light Blue" is an exclusive brand with over 100 years of heritage that deserves consideration in only the finest IBDs.
The Light Blue will retain a traditional look, whilst utilizing modern materials and production values. Appealing to both Cambridge University students and local commuter cyclists alike.
Initially, there are two models available: the 7spd Chesterton and the SA 3spd Parkside.
Both models will be available in lady's and Gent's frame styles and should sell for under £300.00.
Spec'd for comfort and practicality by the great grandson of the founder ... these bikes feature many items that are not generally seen on affordable bikes; e.g. lightweight alloy frames, super comfort memory foam saddles with Kevlar anti-skuff panels, ergonomic dual ply grips, Stainless steel spokes, doublewall - eyeleted rims, anti-puncture tyres, nutted axles, V-brakes with alloy spring tension adjusters, a quality alloy propstand with a welded on location plate and a secondary top plate, an alloy rear carrier with dog leg stays and a spring clip... etc etc...
Perhaps; a lot of small details - but experienced dealers should understand why...!
Exclusive dealer territories are available for a moderate stock-in commitment.

Mr Tuffy

The number one brand name for Anti-Punture tyre liners.
This stuff is Made in the USA with special dual compound materials and is re-usable, so unlike Kevlar belted tyres, is not a "one-tyre's life" only purchase.

MRP

The choice of double World Champions Steve Peat and Brian Lopes...

MRP, the long time pioneer in chain guide design has raised the bar for 2008 with the patented G2 chain guide system. The G2 will be the first model to go into production utilizing MRP's patented integrated chainguide/bash guard technology.
The G2 showcases a fully integrated skid plate, boomerang, and lower guide design never before seen on a bicycle. The result is a no-compromise guide that is light enough for the most weight conscious racers without sacrificing chain retention, rigidity, or protection of the chain and chainring.
Naturally, the complete range of World beating chain devices is still available exclusively via Ison...

N-Gear - Jump Stop

A one product brand... this neat little widget is a stainless steel guide plate to eliminate the chain dropping off the inner chainring... a growing issue with the new Freeride style riding...
Available in the 3 main seatube diameters, RRP £ 8.99
Very useful !

ODI

The USA's number one grip manufacturer continues to dominate the competition MTB grip scene. The innovative Lock-On grip technology option has taken the DH World by storm, and virtually nothing but ODI can be seen at many races. We all know there are half baked attempts to copy the Lock-On coming in, but riders know the difference and they can afford to buy the real thing... it's as simple as that.
ODI sells, day in and day out...
Ison carry every model in every size and in every colour... i.e. If ODI make it - Ison stock it... For 2008 look out for New Colourways of your favourite grips!
www.odigrips.com

Passport

A NEW range of high quality every day parts and accessories for all cyclists.
Saddles, Pedals, Multi tools, Pumps, Grips etc...
Great dealer margins and top level product features.

Powergrips

One of those older products, that actually is still a damn good idea.
Perfect for those who would like the power advantages of toeclips but don't want to be 'caught' in them, or have to buy expensive 'clipless' pedals and special cycling shoes to clip-in with. These exclusive straps offer toe-clip function with easy release and no special shoes or cleats required. (Great for commuters...).
Last, several serious competition riders use Powergrips in the winter, and they don't freeze or clog-up with snow & ice.
If you understand the reason that they are still being produced, so will your customers, and you'll sell them.

The handle bar range, especially the Carbon range has proved to be very popular.
Special attention should be turned to the award winning Salsa Scandium range of frames; MTB XC hardtail, Full Suss, Road and CX... and the all NEW Mamasita 29er.

Society Forks

This totally new suspension fork brand has been borne out of the need for a quality fork that is suitable for dirt jumping and 4X racing that is tailored to meet riders' exact needs without breaking the bank. With R&D from UK riders we have produced the Xeno 80 which outperforms many of the more established brands at a fraction of the price! Society Xeno 80's have received great reviews from the media including Dirt and MBUK.
2008 will see the introduction of a 100mm travel fork.

SST

Which brand of BMX detangler is on pretty much every bike ?
So... why not offer the original cables...
SST cables are display packaged with relatively easy to understand sizes.
We NOW also offer braided finish cables as well as black, and the New fashionable Twin Pull lowers.

Surly

Hardcore underground grunge brand from the Mid West USA.
Surly sales just keep on growing and growing.
With products as diverse as the Pugsley, some call it weird, some call it cool... but, whatever, it's certainly great product, and it sells.
Surly has become synonymous for the Singulator single speed chain tensioner. The new MkII is even sweeter than the original, and should be on every dealer's stock item list.
New for 2008 are Surly Steam Roller complete bikes with a RRP of under £600.00 !
(We expect these will be as hard for us to keep in stock as the Surly frames...)
Staff from Surly will be on hand to answer questions and show you more details.
