After two years of good work with SC Distribution, a mutual agreement was found to switch to a fixed bikes distributor in the Netherlands. Pristine Fixed Gear will received their first factory-direct delivery in the coming weeks. We wish Pristine to sell tons and tons of Focale 44 bikes and parts. And thanks again to SC Distribution for those 2 years.

Après 2 années de bon travail avec SC Distribution, nous avons trouvé un accord pour travailler avec un distributeur du milieu du pignon fixe pour les Pays-Bas. Pristine Fixed Gear va recevoir sa première livraison en direct dans les semaines qui viennent. Nous souhaitons à Pristine de vendre beaucoup de vélos et pièces Focale 44. Et merci encore à SC Distribution pour ces 2 années.

American owned Relax in France : Ryan Jones


Ryan Jones is a student living in Montpellier, France. His ride : custom Focale 44 Relax.

Frame/Fork: Focale 44 Relax, size 52cm
Wheels: Weinmann DP18 track wheelset laced to Formula hubs
Steering: Mavic drops bar
Seating: Seatpost and saddle from a Bianchi Pista
Drivetrain: Sugino XD2 cranks with 42 tooth chainring, Dura-Ace 15-tooth fixed cog, Bianchi Pista pedals.
Brake : Diatech BMX lever, black caliper.

His words on his bike :
"While living in France I wanted a fixed bike made here and this Focale exceeds my expectations. The geometry is a aggressive enough to make it fun and nimble without sacrificing stability, and the CroMo frame is surprisingly light and stiff while retaining enough compliance for comfort. It honestly doesn't feel much different than my cyclocross bike made of Reynolds 853 steel."
