If you want great value together with decent quality - 4-Jeri is the brand to stock.
All-City
The Mr. Pink is everything we ever wanted in a road bike. It’s got a Columbus Zona tubeset, a press fit 30 bottom bracket, internal brake cable routing, hidden fender mounts, and clearance for 32c tires. It’s geometry is pure race, but the extra tire clearance allows it to handle a variety of surfaces and provides all day comfort.
The Space Horse is the most versatile bike in the AC lineup, it can handle front and rear racks, fenders, and has clearance for 42c tires. It also has some super swanky custom semi horizontal dropouts for riding it geared or single. If you have to classify it, it’d probably be light touring, but let’s just leave it at this: this bike was made to get you into and out of trouble and adventure, to be your companion on exploration missions and all day benders, to ferry you and your stuff around as quickly as possible, and most importantly to become a trusted ally in the war against boredom and B.S..
Run by two committed riders, All-City has that underground feel to it and the attention to detail is astonishing. By riders for riders fits All-City perfectly.
Civia
Civia have also launched two new models for 2012, the Twin Cities, both based on mixte style frames for urban commuting and featuring either a 7 spd Nexus drivetrain or a single speed set up. Both are available in Mens and Womens versions and both have unique welded on rear racks and painted to match mudguards. Prices start at £500.
Civia will also be launching a range of parts and accessories to match their bikes. There parts are subtly branded and would look good on any brand of bike as well as their own.
Come and have look at Core and find out what you need to do to become a stockist of these exciting new American bicycles.
Diatech/Dia Compe
Most BMX'ers and Fixed Gear riders use DC levers - especially the Goldfinger and Dirty Harry (both come in 25.4mm clamp size with shims for 22.2mm making them universal fitting). With this compatability and the vast range of colours (and you can buy them individually) these are THE lever to stock to satisfy both markets.
Road riders aren't forgotten either with a large selection of brake calipers, levers and spares with something to suit everyone.
Many more new items for 2012 will be on display.

Identiti
These superlight race frames have been designed and tested by top UK racers and have many unique features such as twin box chainstays and Taper-Lock dropouts. They caused quite a buzz when they were unveiled at Eurobike.
For the past few years, since their release, the Identiti P66 bikes have received much acclaim in the media and we have updated them again for 2012 with an improved parts package and fresh new colours for both frames and parts.
The Krisis SL 4X race frame has become the most popular frame for UK 4X racers (go to any NPS 4X event for proof). The SL continued the original Krisis' winning ways in 2011 with World Cup podiums and more National Championships!
The Persona Fixed Gear bikes now come with the option to run them as Singlespeed Urban as they have a 16t freewheel and brakes included in the package. Still offering fantastic value for money for such well-specced bikes.

Light Blue
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.
We will have one of the original Light Blue track bikes on show at Core - come and marvel at the 100 tooth front chainringed bike. Over 100 years old yet features many design points that continue to be used today!
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 LB had two commuter/comfort models available: the 7spd Chesterton and the SA 3spd Parkside.
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.
2010 saw the limited edition Light Blue Trinity Reynolds 531 lugged Track frame released which received fantastic reviews in the cycling media and has almost sold-out!.
In fact we believe that Reynolds is still THE cycle tubing that others compare themselves to!
2012 will see LB go from strength to strength with the release of the Kings frameset which a a geared road version of the Trinity made with Reynolds 853 tubing.
Two colourways in a classic paint to chrome design make these one of the most classicly beautiful frames available.

The 1X (one-by) guide is still THE guide of choice for many XC and singlespeed riders due to its simplicity,
performance, weight and price. And it is now available in more fitments than ever with the edition of the new E-mount.

Last, several serious competition riders use Powergrips in the winter, and they don't freeze or clog-up with snow & ice.

Salsa's new 2012 Horsethief is their new 29er full suspension trail bike, designed for all-day riding on rugged terrain. It features a tapered headtube and 120mm of rear travel through a custom tuned Fox RP23 Kashima coated shock (UK exclusive) and can be paired with either a 120 or 140mm fork depending on your riding style. The unique pivot minimising suspension system features 'flex stays' and a 142 x 12mm Maxle to help keep the rear end tight and tracking straight. Removing the rear pivot reduces complexity, chassis weight and potential maintenance issues. The bottom bracket has ISCG 05 tabs to protect your chainset and the frame has guides for dropper seatpost cable runs. The perfect bike for the UK.
Devour terrain. Conquer obstacles. Enjoy life.
Horsethief: There's a new sheriff in town.
From 2012 onwards Salsa have developed three levels of kit for the bikes. Level 1 is the highest level and is generally a US custom option based around the top end frame option or Ti option and the best parts available. Level 2 is more affordable and based around Sram X9 & X7 components and Level 3 is the most affordable being based on X7 & X5. Similar distinction applies to the road bikes.
Salsa have also added to their parts line up with new bars for Mountain, Cross and Road, 2 new seatposts, a new value for money stem, and a Frame bag for the Mukluk bike.

Society Forks
Society was 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. Society forks have received great reviews from the media including Dirt and MBUK.
Initially three dirt jump models were available and 2012 sees a great leap forward with a large expansion of the range that will now include forks for many other disciplines including Trail, AM, XC Race, 29" Trail and more...

Vincero Design
Vincero Design have developed an integrated system offering cyclists, regardless of discipline, the ability to quickly, easily, and efficiently mate our water bottles to their bicycles. The system’s patent pending design is comprised of a combination of complementary geometries as well as a magnetic pair of rare earth metals. These two features provide a cyclist with an unparalleled user experience with many advantages over other bottle & cage implementations.
What came out of research and subsequent field trials was a system which makes the bottle float on the bike. The interaction between the geometry of the mount and bottle create a seamless fit limiting the bottle on five of the six axes of movement. The remaining axis is tempered by adding a rare earth magnetic pair which negates the effects of vibration and shock loading experienced when riding a bike.
Lastly, we simply wanted a system which offered superior performance while not detracting from the beauty of the bike. We accomplished this by having the mount hidden under the bottle when a bottle is present, and by having a minimal footprint when there are no bottles.
What you get is a system which offers superior performance and restores the beauty of the bicycle.
Come and have a play at Core you'll be amazed.

release of the new Snowpack, a premium fork for all fat bikes out there.

with Ison as suppliers.
