SITE SPONSOR – SAINT CLOUD

Nick — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:31:38 +0000

Very special thanks to Melbourne concept store ‘Saint Cloud’ for coming onboard as a site sponsor – This site costs real money to maintain, and their assistance is greatly appreciated. A little about them:

Saint Cloud is a concept store fusing together fashion and fixed gear bicycle culture. Founded by Nick Mahoney – a fixed enthusiast with a dream to create a place that becomes a centerpiece among the track bike community. With a keen interest to transcend the typical consumer based retail outlet, Nick intends to create a space where customers have a large impact on the stores direction. The Gertrude Street shop is a place for people to share their passions for bikes, fashion, art and lifestyle.

Nick is a strong believer in supporting and endorsing unique and exclusive fixed gear products and fashion on a local and international level.

Saint Cloud is a commune in the western suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 9.6 kilometers from the centre of Paris. The first bicycle race was a 1,200 metre race on the 31 May 1868 at the Parc de Saint-Cloud, Paris. It was won by expatriate Englishman James Moore who rode a wooden bicycle with iron tyres. The machine is now on display at the museum in Ely, Cambridgeshire, England. Saint-Cloud is one of the wealthiest cities in France, ranked 22nd out of the 36500 in average household income.
