Cycleast, an Austin, Texas bike shop, has partnered with Festka Bicycles of the Czech Republic, to import and distribute new product models including high end carbon road frame ZERO, track frame Motol Chrom and the limited edition Festka Pablo to the US market.
The Cycleast/Festka Bicycles partnership is creating a collaborative relationship through custom tailored bikes, geared towards developing an international community of cycling enthusiasts and racers. In addition, the duo plan to establish a competitive racing squad and help young riders in their development. In a joint effort, Cycleast and Festka will promote and support a racing team with special pricing on frames, accessories and product.
“Cycleast is proud to be the US distributor of Festka because we see in them the same fire and passion we have for bicycles and the people who ride them, said Russell Pickavance, co-founder and co-owner of Cycleast. We are excited to create more stories, with more riders and continue to discover the romance of the bicycle, the spirit of the mountain and the speed of the descent while collaborating with Festka.”
Cycleast is a full service shop specializing in restorations and custom bicycles. They provide a full complement of fitting services and are experts at taking old bikes and giving them new life.
Festka Bicycles designs and hand manufactures unique custom carbon and steel bicycles and accessories. Festka frames are tailored to maximally enhance the riding experience of each customer. The Czech company has made successful appearances at two major international bicycle shows this year. First, NAHBS 2013 in Denver and then Berliner Fahrrad Schau in Germany a month later.
