Meet the team

DAMIEN LACK....
Hi, im the Head Honcho. I've been doing the bike thing for most of my life. I started in My Dad's bike shop when I was about 8, from there I did the school thing, went to Uni, worked in a few bike shops around Melbourne then opened Flemington Cycles in May 1995. I helped build the up with the support of some great staff ( and some not so great) "those stories over a beer one day".Many people say "why do you want to be a bike mechanic"? Simple answer I love doing it! I enjoy seeing people getting on bikes and having fun, yer there are days when I want to strangle everybody but they're rare and seeing the smile on those out riding is awesome. So next time you see me say g'day and have a chat.
Loves: My wife and kids, Cycling ( when Im not being Lazy ), fishing, food and drinks
Hates: The cold,warm beer and not being on my bike.
My duties at the shop: I do it all! Suspension forks and rear shocks are not my thing, I leave that to the other boys, I enjoy building wheels and have some weird fasination with pulling Bottom brackets apart ( I like it for some reason).
Favorite bike ever: I always wanted the green and yellow "Klien". (never did get one)
Favorite bike now: This is a bit sucky too the designer of the web page but his new Giant Rabobank road bike is damm sexy.
Where I want to be when im sixty: In a bar that has a MTB track, A game fishing tank, great friend, free beer, awesome food and a golf course out the back, In Fiji with heaps of hot weather.
