Chris Hoy bikes

iGaz

was in Evan cycles yesterday and the shop assistant told me that they are getting in Chris Hoy bikes, I asked what they bike are called or what will they be branded with and he didn't know, I then asked who is making them and again he didn't know. I asked him if it was Giant making them and he said know chris's company lol so I left it at that as I am unsure he knew a great deal about it and wasn't expecting me to ambush him with questions. I was surprised about him not knowing that Chris Hoy doesn't have a company making bikes and that Giant didn't just build Giant bikes. I mentioned that they Make Trek to and he seemed totally shocked that Giant made other brands.

I question whether he was having a laugh at my expense but he seemed real in the lack of knowledge on a few simple questions.

Does anyone know more about the Hoy branded bikes or how this is going to look. It must be all done because he said he was waiting for the order to arrive at the shop

Yes a mate has seen them and given them a ride, rated them. I don't think they are off the shelf frames and you certainly asked some niche forum nerd questions!

More the new Pendleton (if you have seen her bike range in Halfords :oops: ) by the looks/sounds of things.

3 road bikes and 4 'city' (is that a typo ) bikes! Kids Bikes.
He looks like just a face for a brand in the photo's in that BR link/article.
I think it would have been better to see Hoy bikes but no Hoy, or Hoy bikes and then Hoy, rather than Hoy with no bikes!

Could be great (and hope it is), but I would not put my money on him getting even close to Boardman status at this point in time.
