2010 Orange Pre Order

The On One pre order is finished tomorrow.

Move over now its time for the new Orange 2010 models.

Quite a few new items for this year:

3 New hardtails, the Reynolds tubed R8 and P7, and the Hydro formed Miii

Its hard to improve on perfection so not much changes with the single pivot bikes apart from bold new colors and graphics.

Initially we are offering a pre-order on the Crush, R8 and P7 frames with up to 20% off.

Click Here for more information

Watch also for some crazy bundles similar to those offered with the Inbreds

Any questions, you know who to call........

On One Pre Orders

Last few days for the On One pre order specials, we are sold out on the Frame / Carbon fork pre order and down to last 5 Frame / Reba fork packages. There is still good stock on the Frame / Dart package.

The Pre Order deals will end on Wednesday 30th December.

At this moment the container is due on January 4th, so providing all goes to plan through customs etc we will be able to commence shipping the pre ordered frames from 11th January.

We do intend to have some crazy end of year offers on Wednesday, but this will not include any of the new On One or Whyte frames, it will be aimed at existing stock items.

So this is Christmas..........

And what have you done?

Hopefully, got presents for everyone, stocked up on food, and procured copious amounts of alcohol for the long weekend ahead.

We have done as much as we can to assist, making the last expedited shipments yesterday, so with luck and a good wind, everyone got what they needed in time for the big day tomorrow.

Next week will be a short week for us.

Monday and Tuesday we will be closed and not shipping anything, so if you intended to place orders over the weekend we will address them on Wednesday.

Emails sent between now and Wednesday may be answered, but if they don't make sense its because they were addressed while in a drunken stupor or recovering from the annual food coma.

We will be working on a crazy end of year sale starting on Wednesday, some new features on the website, new products, and of course preparing for our next shipment of On One due January 4th

Simply remains for me to say

Eat, Drink and be Merry! (always in co operation with a designated driver)

if you are looking for a Complete Bike at a completely Unreal Price then we have what you need.

Unreal Update

Its hard to think at the moment, its cold (the heating is broken), its nearly Holiday time and last shipping day is tomorrow.

Just a quick update before my fingers fall off.

Soma: Back in the Groove

Soma have the groovy Groove back in stock, constructed with Prestige tube, this is now the only steel frame we carry with V brake mounts, so for all you guys looking for a retro rig, this is the one.

On One: The frame that time forgot (nearly)

While rummaging around in the warehouse the other day looking for things to burn, we found a small stash of Titanium On One Inbred frames circa 2006. This is a Taiwan model (not to be confused with the current Lynskey versions) but they are amazing quality with a matte blast finish, get one now before they are gone forever.

Whyte: All white mate!

First batch of Whyte 19c frames will be available in mid January, no geometry changes from the award winning featherweight of 2009, just new colors and graphics. Now I say new colors, in fact the forward thinking folks at Whyte have gone all out and the 2010 scheme is based around......white.

Orange: Juice

New from Orange for 2010, we will have the all new Miii in February along with the completely redesigned and re tubed P7 and R8 (replacement for the trusty Prestige).

For 2010 we will offer a full custom paint service on all models, we got the idea from a Lowes advert, so send us your favorite slippers, smoking ganzee, gummy bear, M&M wrapper (or Eminem rapper - you're choice! ) or detail description of the color that is the backdrop of your wildest fantasy (biking fantasy that is ) and we will work with the boffins at Creative Coatings to get the right shade of pale! Anodising will also be available for some models, call for more information.

Grammo: "That was NZ"

Too much news for this page, more later, but for now:-

New NZ button (a bit like the easy button, but with an accent !)
New 62mm Carbon/Alloy clincher
New CNC brakes
New Carbon forks (road and mountain)
New Carbon road frame

Plus we are hearing rumors about 3 (yes three) new carbon tubular rims being developed by the boys down under. Seems that the Flow line was not enough so those clever little Hobbits got busy again and came up with more groundbreaking designs for round things that make you go fast.

Unrealcycles: Members Only

Watch out in the New Year for an all new section to the web site which will be exclusive members only section.

Based on the CostCo model there will be a small annual fee to join, but benefits will include access to inside information, products, and pricing not available on the main site. Limited edition items, industry close outs, specials, and just generally crazy prices.

All this and you won't have to queue to park, then buy a case of beans, when you only want 1 can.

Find out how to get your all access pass in the next newsletter (not signed up? you know what to do)


With that it just remains to say:

Here is wishing all our customers a very Happy Holiday and a Prosperous and Healthy New Year.

From everyone at Unrealcycles

Glitch in the Matrix

From recent feedback it seems that not everyone is getting a confirmation e-mail after they check out through the website.

We turned to our Web Nija for advice on this and it seems that there has been an oversight after a recent software update which basically disabled the automatic feature.

We took our frustration out on an old Microsoft Windows package and beat it severely with a big stick, we all now feel better !

On further investigation it seems that the automatic feature is no longer available (there's progress for you !) but fear not, it has now fallen to me to send each and everyone who orders from us, a personal confirmation note via e-mail crafted by my own fair hands, until said Ninja and Software supplier can get their heads around the issue and fix it.

Sometimes one step back is two steps forward.
