Now days you have countless choices of frames, wheels, handle bars, saddles, pedals, helmets, nutritional products and even clothing. In fact there are so many mass-produced choices that it’s just plain confusing at the best of times.

Having had a sneak preview of some of the 2011 bike ranges from the recent Eurobike show, I can’t help but wonder how many products are actually made in a factory both owned and based in the same country, let alone the same town, as the actual brand.

It’s common knowledge that a number of large brand companies have a large portion of their range made in the Far East. I think that the Chinese and Taiwanese factory owners must be laughing all the way to the bank. Good on them.

They say that when you come across a Black Mamba in the wild you have two options: to die now or to run and die later. Either way you’re not getting out of there alive. It is the single most feared predator on the African Savannah. The Black Mamba attacks with ferocity, it is unforgiving. In the wild only the strongest survive; but against the Black Mamba even they don’t stand a chance.

The CEEPO MAMBA is the road bike for triathletes.

I can hear you thinking “who are CEEPO?” and “why should I trust them?”
The official bike partner of Ironman Triathlon; CEEPO are a Japanese company who specialise in triathlon specific frames. The MAMBA was the result of demand from their ITU athletes to provide a light, aerodynamic frame that was ITU compliant.
