Tacx i-Magic features:
  • Sophisticated virtual reality, computerized training in an easy to use package.

  • The quality of the scenery and road like feel is excellent. Bold music and the occasional roar from the spectators creates a dramatic training session.
  • The i-Magic unit is sensitive enough so you can actually feel the difference between asphalt and grass when you pull off the road.

More Tacx i-Magic features:
  • Soft, oversize, no slip buttons on a stem mounted control unit are easy to use.
  • Requires a Pentium or AMD 233 Mhz processor with 64 MB of memory, an OpenGL compatible accelerator card with 32 MB of memory and one free USB port. Confused?

Branford Bike Online Catalog - Archival Edition
brought to you by the former owner of Branford Bike, Tim Brockett via his personal web site, TimsLife.Com
This is an archival edition of the Branford Bike web site from February 2006. Complete with product photos, prices, how to articles and technical specifications it is a treasure trove of accurate, detailed and historical information.

In July of 2006 Branford Bike was incinerated by a huge forest fire. No one was hurt but the inventory and buildings were completely destroyed. I witnessed the fire and stayed until the trees were burning in my driveway. At that point I hiked from Branford Bike, through the smoke and embers, down the mountain to my Jeep 3 miles away. I took photos and wrote about the harrowing experience so everyone could see what I saw. My insurance was generous and I later rebuilt my home and started another business selling books. Read the story here.

Branford Bike was a huge part of my life for over 30 years; June 1976 to July 2006. I enjoyed those years tremendously and Branford Bike was often a labor of love. I hope you enjoy browsing through the archival catalog. If your visit brings back pleasant memories please share them with me via e-mail at timbrockett@gmail.com .

If you find any printed Branford Bike catalogs, advertisments or flyers please scan them as a PDF and email. Or you may mail them via US Post to Tim Brockett, PO Box 1711, Emigrant, MT 59027. Eventually I will post them in a Memorabilia catalog section.

Many Thanks and Best Wishes,
Tim Brockett
