Industry Veteran Ed Lancaster Picks Up Three New Roles

Those of you with long industry backgrounds might remember the Lancaster brothers, Wally and Edward, from bicycle racing days in the 1980’s and 90’s.

After partnering in a bicycle apparel distribution business, Wally left the industry and now runs gyms in Stanthorpe and Tenterfield through his business Granite Belt Fitness.

Meanwhile, Edward, who has been the longtime Queensland representative for Bicycle Parts Wholesale and GKA Sports through his business Arnsberg Sales & Marketing Management, has recently taken up three new national roles:

National Manager for Limar Helmets
National Manager for Aurum Bikes
National Manager GSPORT Apparel

Aurum is the brand of former Grand Tour winner Alberto Contador, who won the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia twice each and the Vuelta a Espana three times.
GSPORT Apparel is Spanish made custom and standard range cycle clothing and the suppliers of Alberto’s Team Polti Kometa professional road cycling team.
