Lots of work went into this stand and we think it paid off, easily the most appealing display at the Africa Cycle Fair.

An afternoon storm brought the Fair to a premature end on the first day. We’re hoping for still clear skies tomorrow.

I made the trip today & it was worth it. I think it was better than last year & I think the attendance numbers were up too. The venue also offered more Ito testing bikes. Well done!!
