Custom Morewood Makulu For Sale

I don't update this site since Devil Bear became part of Singletrack Minds.  BUT...I have another Morewood Makulu for sale.  This isn't your standard Makulu and no it's not the raw from a couple years ago (Those had a Maxle threaded rear end, this is X12).  This Makulu was welded traditionally (No smooth welds), rubbed down with scotchbrite, and powdercoated clear.  It is dead sexy.

"The lion of the Morewood range. The Makulu has progressive suspension for those technical sections, precise handling for corners and a rock solid look on the podium. 3 years of design progression has led to the downhill frame that many consider the industry benchmark." - Morewood Bikes

So Blue...Custom Painted Makulu!

Kyle wanted a new Makulu frame...he wanted a blue Makulu.  This year's colors did not include blue so the factory in South Africa turned out this beautiful 2013 Makulu.  For you young guns looking for extra bling, be sure to check out the Makulu etching on the Cane Creek Double Barrel!  Kyle is the owner of the Alpine Hut in Seattle.  On the floor you can also check out a sweet Sukuma on the floor that needs an owner.

Hutchinson United Ride : Crankworx and French Champs

One week! That's how long was the race. One week, 4 races and 2 podiums.

Starts with the dual climb on Tuesday. Basically you have to go up and down on the dual course, first to arrive at the bottom win. Mick was the only one from the team to race it cause he wanted to go for the overall. It has been a really hard race and after 8 up and down mick ended up with an impressive 2nd place. Good start of the week.
 

Next was the downhill race, Fabien, Tracey and Mick were racing it. It was a long and hard track, with some steep sections. After a few practice runs Fabien decided not to race it  anymore because of the pain in his arms. Mick had a lot of fun on this track, he qualified 6th and finished 6th in the end. Tracey struggled a little bit on practice day but finally came down with a great time which put her in 2nd spot on quali and race day, she has also been the only girl to jump the big road gap on her race run!

Thursday, speed and style day. Mick and Fabien were doing it. It was on the same track as the dual climb. Rules are simple, it's a dual timed run. The fastest win BUT if you  trick the jumps on the track the best trick wins 1sec time bonus. On a 25sec run, 1sec is quite a lot! So Mick, after getting the fatest time in quali got eliminated by a young dirter who sent bigger tricks than him. Pretty much the same for Fabien who had Cam Zink in his first run!

Sunday, it was finally the last race for Mick. Unfortunately when the alarm rang at 5am mick wasn't able to ride anymore and he decided to go for the safe way, not to race. He ended up 3rd overall!

Same time as the Crankworx was the French Champs in Les Gets. Fabien and Guillaume went there.
First day of practice went pretty good on a dry and really nice track. Unfortunately it rained and the track became slow and really hard to ride. In those conditions Fabien's arms weren't hurting to bad, he had a good start but crashed and broke his ankle.

Guillaume wanted the national title in Junior, owned by Loic Bruni at that moment. He had no choice but go for it, so he did and didn't go really well. He had the best spit time and crashed. He finished 4th in Junior, 1.8sec back.

Team is now resting, Hannah's family is in Tignes, Guillaume is at home, Tim is still recovering and should start physio soon. Fabien is gonna get his arms surgery and recover from his broken ankle.
Bye!

Hi everyone!

It was a dry, dusty and super hot weekend here in Windham for the team. Everybody enjoyed the track and had fun on the big jumps. Friday was the qualification and Tracey did the third time. Mick felt good and ended up with the 13th time. Fabien was still struggling with arm pumps on this short track and made a few mistakes which cost him the top 80 by just 0.3s. Fabien is going to try to get surgery for his arms as soon as possible when he will be back in France. Our junior, Guillaume, missed the qualif by a few seconds.

Tracey and Mick were ready to rip it on Sunday on a dry and fast track like they love. The women race was very tight with the top 3 girls in the same second. Tracey did a great run and wowed us by hitting the last jump. She did the second time of the day. It was fantastic to see her back on the podium. Mick looked very good on the bike for his race run and on the bottom section we could see how fast he was. He finished with the 8th time today. It was good the see the Hannah familly represent ing the team so well this weekend. Mick now has plate number 7 at the standings and Tracey is keeping the number 4. We are looking forward for the next world cup in France but now it’s time to pack and go back on the other side of the ocean. 

We want to thank the Hutchinson guys who came this weekend to cheer for us and Lama Cycles who lent us their tents and material.

See you soon!
