Despite his youth Burry had a long-term vision, stretching beyond his racing career, to share his love of cycling with others by creating retail spaces where new and experienced cyclists alike could come not just to buy the best product, but also get the best advice. In 2010 he opened Concept Cyclery Waterfall, followed in 2012 by Concept Cyclery Ballito in his home province KwaZulu-Natal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Specialized- Ballito image-15.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"1686900\" data-ratio=\"52.75\" data-unique=\"oik9ndhzg\" style=\"height: auto;\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1625875843_Specialized-Ballitoimage-15.281e69ffabfcb0ce2b6c48e80ef8743d.jpg\" >\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBurry was tragically killed by a taxi at the age of just 25 while out training early in 2013, and Charl and Roxanne Stander were thrown in the deep end of owning and running a retail store. Over the years they have done Burry\u2019s legacy proud. They have built a store firmly around family and bringing like-minded people together to celebrate an active and healthy lifestyle.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Specialized- Ballito image-2.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"1686899\" data-ratio=\"52.67\" data-unique=\"t7pp9s8n4\" style=\"height: auto;\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/264208788_Specialized-Ballitoimage-2.93516ca701befc1e503b423c2e1285b4.jpg\" ><br \/>\n\t\u00a0<br \/>\n\tThe move to a new location was driven by the expansion of the industrial area in which the original store was situated and the drive to provide the most accessible and convenient customer experience possible. With ample parking, and quick access from the N2 highway, it is now easier than ever for customers to drop bikes off, pick-up race weekend spares, or just browse the latest apparel and equipment range on display.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Specialized- Ballito image-16.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"1686901\" data-ratio=\"52.67\" data-unique=\"xifn6737e\" style=\"height: auto;\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1893409798_Specialized-Ballitoimage-16.b8a6d2c84548eb0f88323aed928a6042.jpg\" ><br \/>\n\t\u00a0<br \/>\n\tLeaving the original building in which Burry opened the store was bittersweet for the family and team, but key features of the original store like the Nguni cowhide Specialized branding and Burry\u2019s London Olympic S-Works Stumpjumper Hardtail were carefully relocated and are proudly on display in their new home. There is also a new very limited Burry Stander S-Works Epic which was especially designed to celebrate Burry\u2019s life following his tragic passing. This is bicycle number 250 of the 250 that were produced.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Specialized- Ballito image-26.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"1686906\" data-ratio=\"52.83\" data-unique=\"nnrb0wjp5\" style=\"height: auto;\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2050226346_Specialized-Ballitoimage-26.7b3982f1d1cd5745628f7cef8cf7b750.jpg\" >\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Specialized- Ballito image-23.jpg\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" data-fileid=\"1686905\" data-ratio=\"52.83\" data-unique=\"0t01z1u9k\" style=\"height: auto;\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1040891273_Specialized-Ballitoimage-23.94a532a1effc01d6a717bbea02444b40.jpg\" ><br \/>\n\t\u00a0<br \/>\n\tWalking into the new Concept Cyclery Ballito powered by Burry Stander, the space feels open and welcoming, and the experienced and friendly sales team are on hand to assist, whether you need specific technical guidance or are just browsing.
