Throwing yourself into the MTB market was always going to be tough, when there are so many established shops and manufacturers out there already. For some this would put them off, but through my own personal drive and motivation. I wanted a project and a change from what had become the “norm” both in myself and within the market. After much time thinking about options and talking with people and manufacturers I came to a decision.
After talking with Morpheus Cycles it was unanimous that we both had the same ideas and motivation for the sport and they were keen to support what we were aiming for. After discussing where the product line was going and plans for the future I was set on making a deal.
So here we are in 2012, we have just received the 1st order from Morpheus and we could not be more pleased with the quality and attention to detail that have been put into these bikes.
The Products on offer are all customisable with a wide range of parts available for custom builds.
