Pinkbike.com and Cycles Devinci unveil their 2007 Downhill Team

June 14, 2007

Pinkbike.com and Cycles Devinci are proud to introduce their 2007 Downhill team. Returning for their third year with Pinkbike.com are Derek Chambers (Men's Elite) and Fiona Taylor (Women's Elite), while Simon Stevenson (Master Expert) is returning for his second season with the team. The new comer to Pinkbike.com, but no stranger to Cycles Devinci is mister Geoff Pendrel (Men's Elite). The team will be sporting Wilson 2s that have been tricked out from the various outside team sponsors.

Have a look at who the team is and what they will be riding this season:
Over the past few years we at Pinkbike.com have been lending a hand to a few racers in their riding pursuits, so this year we were able to step it up with the help of Devinci Bikes and various sponsors that have come on board to lend a hand. We are proud to be supporting our racers while they travel around spreading the love of 2 wheels and passing on their adventures to the rest of us.

Here are the 2007 Pinkbike.com/Devinci DH team riders:

Derek Chambers:

Derek will be attending races on the Canada Cup circuit and any World Cups that he can get his two wheeler to. Looking for his adventures through out the season.
