Turners are in…
We’ve just had a few of the new TNT linkage Turner 5 Spot. They ride just like the old version, but Dave Turner no longer has to pay Specialized for the fun of using something they should never have been given a patent on. The fact that he’s done a u-turn on years of praise for the Horst link hasn’t gone un-noticed, so we’re planning on offering something else as well, just for the true four bar officianado.
Here’s a photo of the new anodized blue 5 Spot - it’s purdy.
Personally, I’ve always thought it was the geometry and handling that made Turners nice, so the change of platform don’t bother me none.

I noticed while flicking through the new Cyclingplus in Smiths on Sat that the advert for the Titus importers has Sideways Cycles listed as a dealer. So will this be your Four Bar/Horst Link alternative? Assuming Titus are 4-Bar?

Does the S in your moniker stand for Sherlock?

Spot badges, velocity rims, and spanky anodised Turners.
It’s not safe in Cheshire at the moment!

I thought that you said you were going to buy that purple Spot hanging up in the shop Matt?

So I take it Tim they will be considerably less to buy as there are now no patent fees?!

Yeah - right!
The fee for using a Horst is only $1 per frame I seem to recall.

so they’ll be $1 cheaper then?
