I raced all rear on my 65 carbon clinchers and never had to touch them with a spoke wrench. Climbing, crits, TT's one wheel for it all!

Campy gets colors!

2010-12-20T04:14:00.001-08:00

After SRAM dominated the pro peloton with flashy colors and matching hoods Campy jumps in with a few offerings for colored hoods and a splash of red on the new components. The interesting part will be now that SRAM Red has been out for a while what will they roll out next other than a red group that is black with yellow accents? Maybe they will go back to matte black like campy groups have been for the last 10 years...

The winning team!

New Teschner 703 Aero

2010-12-03T04:59:00.000-08:00

New straight from Australia comes the Teschner 703 built by Peter Teschner using his Pro Geometry that he has been known for in the unspoken professional circles for years! He has built bikes for countless pros through the years. You may already seen his bikes and not known it under different riders at the TDF branded with their bike sponsors name on it!

New 3T Zefiro bar

2010-06-22T05:08:00.000-07:00

This bar would be a good choice for the rider that has one bike and can't decide if they are a road, TT or triathlon rider! *Note- As of now it is still UCI legal so you can get your road race on with it! This paired with a set of Zipp 808's could lead to some interesting breakaway situations?

2 New really great data options!

2010-06-22T05:00:00.000-07:00

I'm not much of one for little computers and gadgets strapped all over my bike but I can get into the simplicity and easy to use style of these two!

Serotta Colorado custom super commuter!

2010-04-23T11:10:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I have posted because we have been super busy in the shop with projects like this one off custom steel bomb shell! Price as shown $2500.00 Not cheap and not for everyone but if you want the ultimate commuter/club/urban machine this is the one. Make no mistake, this bike is built to ride as far and hard as you want! Every part is about performance as well as looks right down to the Fizik carbon saddle and new Fizik seat post. The frame is totally custom built in New York by the guys at Serotta. Size 55. This build also includes the new SRAM Torpedo hub that can be changed from fixed gear to free wheel with the turn of a flat head screw driver just in case you feel the need to coast once in a while but don't want to get busted on by fixie purists at the local coffee spot!

First shop ride of the season!

Tacx Trainer software, version II

Tacx Trainer software turns your training into an exciting experience. How would you like to take on twenty other riders for instance? You will see them as cycling figurines on your display, just like your own position. You will also be able to clearly read distance covered, distance left till end of ride and heart rate zone. But there is more that meets the eye. Set up is easy as pie, pop-ups help you work through the menus.

Combination screens
Operation has been simplified. You can now switch very quickly between the different on-screen possibilities. You will determine your preferred training set up. Set up the wide screen or combine several small format screens. Like showing Real Life Video, Google Earth and rider positions in one single screen. This way you can see exactly where you are and how far you have left to go.

Direct link with VR site

The Analyser software is integrated in the start up menus and www.tacxvr.com and your trainer software enjoy a direct link. This is very convenient for the up- and downloading of GPS rides. Because web site and software communicate Tacx Trainer software is extremely user friendly. The menus have been programmed such that they can serve as the basis for future extensions.

The Tacx Trainer software is sold with Catalyst, Catalyst 3D, a Real Life Video demo so you can experience first hand what it’s like to ride inside film and Real Life training, to help you explore itineraries you would never have been able to ride on thru 3D maps by Google Earth.

The excitement on your screen
If you purchase the Trainer software that is also suited for the Tacx Fortius Multiplayer, Fortius or i-Magic VR trainer, you will have the new advanced menus at your disposal. Are you interested? Then order the Tacx Trainer software installation DVD now.

The Tacx Trainer software runs independently from the Fortius software. It is quite easy to import the Real Life Videos and ErgoVideos installed on your computer so you can also use them with this new software. And the Catalyst Fortius training programs can also be transferred making them suitable for the Trainer software. Multiplayer and Virtual Reality are not yet possible in this First version of the Tacx Trainer software. We plan to also add these in the course of 2009.

Transporting your bike does not have to suck! Yakima or Thule makes a rack system for almost every car or SUV out there! Not cheap but well worth it every time you get finished with a muddy mountain bike ride and you don't have to jam your expensive bike in the back of your expensive car and risk damage to both!

2010 RZ 140 upgrade and weight reduction!

2009-11-11T07:05:00.000-08:00

After riding the 2010 RZ140 (2) I decided I loved the bike but I would love it even more after changing a few things so I started operation upgrade! I am swapping out the FSA alloy bar for the TruVative NOIR team Hi mod carbon bar. I changed the shifters from SRAM X9 to the new XO red colored! Last but not least I ordered what I think is the sickest MTB crank produced yet! The FSA K force light double with a 40/27 Tooth ring set up. Up until now Cannondale has had the best crank with their Si 2x9 BB30 set up, the nice thing about the FSA is the there is no spider the 3 chain rings bolts attach from the back directly to the carbon fiber crank arm! I will post a review of the finished product as well as details about how the 2x9 set up works on the trail!

Brooks Barbican now in stock!

2009-11-10T06:11:00.000-08:00

This is by far the sickest messenger style brief case, lap top, man bag that I have ever come across! The Barbican works walking into a board meeting, taking the lap top to the coffee shop or strapping it on for your long or short commute. The Barbican bag works with casual clothes (so you don't look like a bike messenger) or it works when your outfitted in a team kit head to toe! Brooks offers it in two different sizes and two different colors, black and moss. They are not cheap but well worth it for the function and they will last for ever! Every bag is hand made in England by the well known Brooks saddle company.

If you like to go down hill and still be able to climb with the boys on the up hills the Cannondale RZ 140 is the tool for the job!

2009-11-10T06:01:00.000-08:00

Riding the regular trails with the regular crew I can rip the down hills and have that feeling of the first time I ever rode a mountain bike but what goes down must come up and the RZ 140 got me up the hills within sight of the guys at the front and in most cases in the group! You have to ride it to believe it! Call me and demo this bike!!

Mountain bike season is here! Great time to get your mountain bike in for a tune up!

The bad news keeps coming for the US Autos industry. In the first quarter of 2009, bicycles outsold cars and trucks.

2009-10-14T07:27:00.001-07:00

Despite being down more than 30% on last year, bikes are outselling cars, which are experiencing a larger decline. Many see the again rising cost of gasoline, as well as the not so good press coverage of the failing car industry, are making people think twice about buying a motor. The large savings from riding a bike over short distances rather than driving can help consumer confidence and support economic recovery.

Even longer trips are becoming more accessible for cyclists. Visionary activists are creating opportunities for cyclists to safely travel longer distances. Not only are there cost savings from such local and intercity rides, but there are environmental benefits too, especially in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. While an average solo car trip or airplane ride emits more than 1 pound of CO2 per mile, bicycling or walking emits close to zero. If we need to travel hundreds of miles, there are great low-carbon strategies for travel that include mass transit and carpooling, keeping our average emissions less than 1/2 a pound of CO2 per mile."

Trans-Sylvania Epic 2010

Central Pennsylvania to host new mountain bike stage race
By:Sue George, Mountain Bike EditorPublished: August 13, 19:00, Updated: August 13, 21:25Edition:MTB News & Racing Round-up, August 14, 2009

visitPA.com Team racer Wes Schempf prepping for Trans-Sylvania 2010
Trans-Sylvania Epic to State College area in 2010

Pennsylvania joined the list of states hosting multi-day mountain bike stage races with the inaugural Trans-Sylvania Mountain Bike Epic, a seven-day race through the mountains of central Pennsylvania, to be held from May 30 through June 5, 2010, in and around State College, Pennsylvania. The race will feature plenty of singletrack and showcase central Pennsylvania's off-road riding.

"The race will include four stages that start and finish near the race headquarters," said race Executive Director Mike Kuhn to Cyclingnews. "The others will be within an hour's drive. We may have stages at the new Allegrippis trails (near Raystown Lake), R.B. Winter State Park to the east, and Black Moshanon to the north."

Stage one will be a 10-mile time trial while all other stages will be single-lap cross country races ranging from 25 to 60 miles. There will be categories for solo competitors, two-person teams, open teams and corporate teams.

The race is located within a few hours of major metropolitan areas such as Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, and Philadelphia. "It is very easy to get to State College and participants will find trails that are as good as anything anywhere in the world," said Director at large Ray Adams, who is currently racing the TransRockies (in third overall after stage 4 - ed.).

Adams and Kuhn have led the visitPA.com mountain bike team for five years of racing, promoting tourism in their home state. Kuhn has also promoted some of the largest mountain bike events in the mid-Atlantic.

"We've been working on this event for a few years," said Kuhn. "We almost launched it two years ago, but then had to return to the planning stages. Now we're ready."

The Corporate Category is unique to the Trans-Sylvania. Within this category the fastest three team member's times on each stage will count toward the overall while permitting teams to start as many riders as they like on any given day. This allows riders of all abilities to participate as often as they like through the week without penalizing team members who want to ride every day.

The Trans-Sylvania Epic is a production of The Outdoor Experience Organization, a non-profit Pennsylvania organization whose mission is to build and create, improve upon, and document forest trails in the state of Pennsylvania for the use of foot traffic, bicycles, cross-country skiers, equestrians and other user groups in order to increase interest in sustainable, healthy, and enjoyable outdoor oriented activities; build outdoor recreation tourism in Pennsylvania.

The State College area is already the home of two well-known mountain bike races: the Stoopid 50 regional event and the National Ultra-Endurance Series' Wilderness 101.

2009 has seen the addition of several stage races to the American calendar, including the Breck Epic in Colorado and the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage race in North Carolina.

Product Review: Cannondale SI SL Hollowgram Crankset

By editor on August 29th, 2009

The Cannondale SI SL Hollowgram crankset weighs in at a remarkable 580 grams. No you didn’t read that wrong: only 580 grams. And when used with the BB30 system it is the lightest production crankset in the cycling universe.

So how did Cannondale engineer the Hollowgram SI SL to be both super stiff, yet super light? They did this by enlarging the core pocket (which is the hollow space in the crank arm), which trimmed the weight and retained their trademark stiffness. They use 2000-series aluminum, which has twice the fatigue life of 7000-series aluminum. Crank arms are also mated to a thin-walled, hollow, oversized 30mm aluminum bottom bracket axle for excellent balance of strength, weight, and stiffness. And of course they are CNC machined to optimize strength and ensure light weight.

Gram for gram, there’s no other crankset that can claim the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the Cannondale Hollowgram.

Enough with the specifications and onto our real life experience with the Hollowgram SI SL crankset. We installed them on our Cannondale CAAD9 company race bike, which runs SRAM Rival and HED wheels and have been riding them very hard for the last 3 months. We’ve put them through every abuse and condition our sadistic minds could dream up and logged at least 2,500 miles, every one in crankset heaven.

Our Hollowgram SI SL Crank After 2,500 Hard Miles

Hill Climbing – it was amazing how stiff these cranks are. Mash the pedals and the power is there, right there. There is instant power transfer from the cranks to the wheels. They are so stiff, in fact, that any other weakness in the drive train becomes obvious. Truly impressive that such a light weight crankset can be so responsive.

Racing – we have used the bike in every type of event, but it was in crits where the cranks’ performance is so noticeable. The power on/off nature of crit racing really puts your crankset to the test. They spun up instantly and had zero flex when out of the saddle and hammering to close a gap.

Bicycle.net is extremely impressed with the performance of the Cannondale Hollowgram SI SL crankset. It performs flawlessly, with the ultimate combination of light weight, and stiffness. This is the best crankset we have ever ridden. Well done Cannondale!

The dirt!

2009-08-21T09:46:00.001-07:00

After a several year hiatus, Pinarello is resurrecting the Dogma name with a totally new for 2010 racing road bike: the Pinarello Dogma 60.1. It takes the award-winning, highly regarded Prince frame and creates a new top-of-the-line road bike with some very interesting features.

Technical specs in a moment, we just can’t wait to say that it comes in a whopping 12 color schemes, all of which are dead sexy (“Black on Black” shown above, pictures of the other 11 colors after the break).

Now, about those specs…the frame uses asymetrical stays and differing features on each side of the bike. Pinarello calls it “the beginning of a new generation of frames that will revolutionize the concept of racing bicycles.” They claim it’s the first completely asymetric racing frame, with the right and left side having different shapes and sections.

Starting with the Prince’s frame, Pinarello used the proven shapes and geometry, then added a lot of new technology:

TECHNOLOGIES:

Asymetrical Frame Design - Pinarello says lab testing shows a difference of 1 - 2 mm frame distortion from one side to the other during sprinting, showing that the load on the pedals combines with the torque of the chain pulling on the frame differently on the drive side versus non-drive side. Their solutions to this were:

We have decided to move upstairs in the same center and go to mostly appointment only. It's not that different from what we do know being that almost all of our sales and most of our service business is already set up by appointment and has been for a number of years. This gives us the ability to spend the needed time on the custom bike sales and fitting as well as dial in our service procedure at the same time giving the client the flexablilty of knowing exactly when their bike will be ready and even have a pick up and delivery option.

Call or email us for details or to schedule an appointment or to stop by and see our new show room and fit studio.

KOM!

2009-07-29T13:33:00.000-07:00

The accolades for Team Liquigas' Tour de France performance continue to arrive. After the podium celebration for Franco Pellizotti's KOM title were over, the Venetian climber was awarded the Tour's most combatative rider by the ASO. Pelli's was recognized for his attacking performance that saw him animate the race throughout the three weeks of the Tour.

Race director Jean François Pescheux explained: "We had to choose between Pellizotti, Andy Schleck and Jurgen Van Den Broeck, but in the end we chose Pellizotti who attacked in the Pyrenees, was in the break in the Vosges, and was present also in the Alps, even searching for the stage win on Ventoux!"

Pellizotti won the KOM competition with 210 points, 75 points clear of Egoi Martinez. He was also the first across eleven KOM finish line summits, proving the Cannondale Super Six as the ultimate climbing weapon of choice.

Pellizotti was not the only Liquigas rider with impressive results in France. Young general classification hopefuls for the future Vincenzo Nibali (seventh) and Roman Kreuziger (ninth) both achieved their goals of top-ten finishes, improving on their 2008 Tour de France debuts. On the penultimate stage to Mont Ventoux, the two Liquigas riders remained with the lead riders, even attacking on the fearsome climb.

Team Liquigas also jumped one spot to fourth on the UCI's World Ranking, confirming their place amongst the world's best cycling teams.

New 2010 Super Six is a climber!
