El Cajon, California, Formula Bicycles announced today that it has reached an agreement with Elite Women’s rider and ABA World Champ Amanda Geving. “I have been friends with Amanda and her dad Bill for a while now,” stated Formula owner Will Rells, “I’m really excited to finally get to work with both of them. She definitely meets the high standards that we have set for the Formula Factory team.” After a successful amateur career that included, just in 2004, 78 national main event wins and 11 of 14 possible titles, Amanda decided to make the jump to the Pro class in ‘05.

Only 16 years old, Geving’s rookie year in the Elite Women’s class was a successful one. She added to her long list of accomplishments an ABA Women’s Pro World Champion title, Florida State Champion title, President’s Cup Champion title, and finished National #2 in the NBL and National #4 in the ABA. Geving’s first race for Formula will be this weekend’s RM59 Tropical Challenge race in Puerto Rico hosted by the NBL.

Amanda was the perfect fit for Formula’s “Solution” Pro Minus frame, a “Formula-Hybrid” frame built specifically for riders in the transition stage of frame sizing. Formula has a frame size for just about every sized rider out there. Look for a future press release regarding Formula’s all-new chrome-moly frame lineup.

Amanda Geving joins Elite Men’s/AA Pro Donny Robinson, Superclass/A Pro Mike Lundy, 17 Expert Warren McDow, and 11 Expert Chad Kerley on Formula’s exclusive ’06 Factory Team.
