BMC becomes title sponsor of renowned "Racer Bikes Cup"
press release: Grenchen/Switzerland, November 29th 2011

The threatening end
The foundation of Swiss Mountainbiking was shaking. The end seemed inevitable when the title sponsor of Switzerland's international cross country racing series terminated its engagement. "We are still looking for a new sponsor", exclaimed the series' website, looking for financial backing to secure its future existence. Founded in 1994 by former national coach Andreas Seeli, the series has long reached international recognition. There are few world or Olympic champions in the sport of cross country mountainbiking that have not lined up at one of the seven Swiss venues. Nevertheless, the series seemed destined to disappear from the UCI calendar. Until the shaking reached Grenchen.

"We would endanger Switzerland's dominance in MTB"
"The MTB segment is playing an important role at BMC. As a Swiss-based company, we need a Swiss racing series in order to create national and international impact", evaluates CEO Thomas Binggeli of new series title sponsor BMC. He adds: "There is no way we would lose our most important races and therefore threaten an important part of our domestic athlete development concept. We would endanger Switzerland's dominance in mountainbiking".

Gary recently took over the Cargocycles business from Tim and Bec after finding himself in need of a cargobike. For those who don't know, Cargocycles is Melbourne based bicycle store specialising in Cargo Bikes and Electric Bikes.

Gary has bikes in his blood having been on two wheels since not long after he get the whole two legs thing happening. Growing up in a family where building a Raleigh Chopper Tandem was seen as a quick project, Gary has spent more years building, riding and maintaining two wheeled vehicles than he can actually remember. He blames his parents...

By the way, if anyone has seen this tandem my dad would love to know where it ended up. Last seen circa 1980, Kidderminster, UK.

Tim Paton is a mechanical engineer with experience in the shipbuilding, publishing, air conditioning and automotive industries.
Since getting his first BMX at age 7, he has rarely been off a bike. A recreational mountain bike rider by preference and transport cyclist by choice, Tim has commuted by bike (at least occasionally) to every school, university and workplace he has attended; in Sydney, Perth, Canberra, Ballarat and Melbourne.
Tim has been an active contributor to the MTB-OZ email list for more than a decade, where he has a reputation for critically analysing all technical cycling matters - known as a "Timgineer". He is also a frequent poster on several other cycling forums, lists, newsgroups and websites.
Tim's first job was delivering prescriptions for the local pharmacy - on his bike.

History of Southcott Pty. Ltd.

Southcott Pty Limited was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in 1886 as a general engineering business by two brothers, James and Albert Southcott. Over a century later, the company remains entirely owned by the Southcott family and has expanded extensively around the original factory site, as well as operating Australia wide sales offices and service centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Devonport, Emerald and Perth.

Involvement in hydraulics began in 1954 with the design and development of axial piston pumps and motors. The Company remains the only Australian manufacturer of these complex units. State of the art facilities are now provided for hydraulic equipment manufacture, including complex manifold circuits and a wide range of hose coupling swaging machines up to 500 tonne capacity.

Southcott Cycle Division ceased the production of bicycles in the mid nineties due to economic climax and turned their focus on marketing and selling state of the art international brands. Southcott Cycle division now operates from two main distribution warehouses, Adelaide and Melbourne, supplying bicycles and parts and accessories to the independent bicycle shops across Australia.
