HISTORY

 

The Sifty History of Wellington's Most Purple Bike Shop (1991 - 2000)

This section contains stuff pertaining to the nine year history of the Cycle Services Cuba Street shop. If you were there, you may be here... If you know what you are looking for there is an INDEX below, or for a more general sift start with History Part 1.

Most of the contents of the original CS Cyberfrot site (circa 98) can still be found on this site, but in addition to the original stuff, we are gradually adding extra pictures and rantings, and hope to eventually complete an in depth coverage of sifty CS history.

Some of the sections that used to be in the original CS site have left home and set up their own living arrangements. In 2000 the food section moved to Deb's new food and nutrition site DietNet New photos and art by Wheels are being posted on the Wheels site, and Oli has his own bike site -  Roadworks. Our other new sites can all be accessed through the FROT website portal.
