As the Christmas rush gets under-way our long-term fleet is continually growing so there are a lot of new machines at MBUK Towers. We delved in and dragged a few of them out for you to have a Geoff Duke at...

Jamer's latest bike arrived yesterday evening and has the wee man more excited than a weasel in a microwave. His new LaPierre Zesty 714 is one of the gems of the lock-up at the minute, it's beautiful. It's now just waiting to have a spanner waggled at it and set-up properly for Bath's answer to Samwise The Brave. Keep your eyes peeled in MBUK for it very soon.

Also new with Jamer is his Merida FLX 1000 D. A carbon hardtail in MBUK?! Yep, Jamer's planning a few sly events this year so we're planning to load it up with more carbon than you could wave a dog at and see how fast he can really go!

Ric's Sunday is in there too wearing some new Burgtec bars and an E13 stem along with some snazzy Monster Energy graphics. The hairy Ulsterman is still on a mission to drop the Sunday's weight lower than a Snakes bottom bracket whilst trying to make it look like a SX Kawasaki. He's even been seen in there weighing bolts...

The Merida One-Five-O 880 D is also Ric's for a First Ride in an upcoming issue. It also wins the 'dirtiest bike in the lock-up' prize for that very reason...
