Thank you Alex for the nice letter to Ceepo!

Alex sent a nice emial to Ceepo head office.
He purchased a Viper in the UK

Dear Mr Tanaka,

I met you briefly in England at the Triathlon show in February, and ordered one of your Ceepo Viper bikes. It arrived last week, and I am writing to you to tell you how pleased I am with it.........

I tried it out on my local sprint triathlon course, and was very happy indeed. I was 3:20 faster than a ride two weeks ago on my old race bike. This is not all though - it was quite windy, so I was riding without my rear disc wheel, and without an aero helmet. Also, because I am not used to the position on the bike and the handling yet, I did not ride very aggressively, and sat up once or twice for a break from the aero position.

My overall impression on the ride was that the bike felt very fast. On the straights and downhill, it feels really quick. Uphill, I'm blasting over small hills without slowing down, and even bigger hills are easier to climb - hills I would be out of the saddle on my old bike I span up quite easily on the Viper. By the time I got to the halfway point I knew I was going to have a fast time - the only question was, how fast?

Did I also say it looks great? I've had a lot of admiring glances from everyone who has seen it this week.

I love it!

Alex



........ Thanks Alex!


Here are some features about the Viper frame.

CEEPO has 3 special points in its geometry.
1. Longer Front Center length.(Front wheel center to BB center)
This long lenghth allows you to maintain a high cycing speed.
2. Chain stay length.(Best length for energy transfer and comfort)
You can transfer pedaling power to wheel effectively, and you yet save power for your running, resulting faster running time.
3. Lower BB position.
You do not feel any stress while riding long distances.

Material and structure of carbon production.
1. 100% 40T HM carbon.
2. Special carbon layup production system.
3. New carbon moulding system that can reduce weight and keep higher stiffness.
The stiffness level of VIPER BB area is particularlyhigh.
This kind of aero frame weight often becomes very heavy, however the Viper is only 1.5kg.

Gina Ferguson won Ironman New Zealand 2009!

Congratulations to our Gina!
Another truly amazing accomplishment.
Gina zoomed on her Ceepo bike and conquered Ironman NZ. (9:18:26)

Here's the quote from article on Ironman.com:

Ferguson pinpointed one aspect of her race and training that she felt made the difference today. "I’ve been working hard on my cycling, and I’m pleased it is coming along nicely. I came off the bike six or seven minutes down on Jo last year, but this year was a 1:45. So I think that was the difference today, I didn’t have to chase her down so much on the run.”

Hi All,

"I have just won the Challenge Wanaka Iron Distance event on the weekend for the second time and I broke my own course record and won by 35 minutes. I swam well coming out first women and second person overall and then I biked really well breaking Belinda Granger's bike course record by 6 minutes. I had a big lead going onto the run which I was able to maintain. I have a full story on my website www.ginaferguson.comNow I will train very hard for Ironman New Zealand in march."

Gina won IM Western Australia!

Gina FERGUSON won IM Western Australia on 8th December in 2008!
She did the fastest bike split of the day 4:58:12 !

The bike she rides is the Ceepo KILLER 650C.
Here is her comment!

"I am so happy to win Ironman Western Australia and this completes a great year for me, with two ironman distance victories both in course records (Ironman Western Australia and Challenge Wanaka), a top 10 finish in Hawaii, and two sub 9 hour performances (at Ironman Western Australia and at Challenge Roth). I was so happy to win this race despite having to deal with several problems including being stung by a jellyfish just before the start of the race and racing for 100km with a broken aero bar. This may have stopped me racing a PB but not from winning the race. I have been working very hard at my cycling the last month and I won this race with my fast bike split. Thank-you Ceepo for giving me the best bike in the sport to enable me to win."



also, congratulations to Simon BILLEAU (France) who finished 5th.
it was his first ever IM!
His bike time is 04:27:08. He rides the Ceepo Venom !
