Need advice on wheels for the lady Well, the lady has taken the plunge of her own volition! She has picked up a BMC Streetracer at an insanely good price. Now, on to the matter of some new wheels to replace the Alex boat anchors on that bike... I am looking for advice for a reasonable...

Our group "club" rides are far more civilized affairs than anything being described in this thread. The Saturday morning "easy cruise" ride at 28-30kph is just that, with experienced ride leaders/team members running the show. No-drop is the policy. If there are any stallions who want to...

If you prefer quantity over quality, absolutely.

Your assumption is not too far off the mark - I work for Sugoi which is the new kit provider for Liquigas as part of Dorel's (our parent company) overall sponsorship of the team which of course is co-branded as Liquigas-Cannondale. No images have been leaked as our ship is tightly run ;)...

Work for a cycling apparel manufacturer as well as working as a professional sea kayaking instructor and guide during spring/summer months.

The HTC jersey looks like a poor attempt at channelling their inner Renault-Elf. FYI I got a first hand look at the new Liquigas-Cannondale 2011 kit that their new apparel sponsor Sugoi is providing. In a word - WOW. Beautiful kit and a big improvement over the full green kit they wore last...

Hi all Booking a trip to Sedona for late March/Early April to get some dirt riding (and maybe some road as well) in. Anyone have any recommendations for can't miss trails in the area or within a 60 mile radius?

I forget which Italian team it was, but whichever team was using Cipollini's bikes swapped out in the last half of the season for re-branded bikes. this story was well circulated in Italian cycling circles, so this is probably what Cycling Weekly is re-reporting. It's a pretty common...

DanSmith, it's always nice to see attempts at guerilla marketing using the same story on various message boards come to fruition. Mr Crud sent me new fenders! Mr Crud sent me the bolt i dropped and lost when i opened the package! Mr Crud personally crushed the recycled pop bottles that went...

winter bike/commuter/all around exploration rig - Salsa Vaya w/disc brakes (i live in perpetually rainy Vancouver and have a very, very hilly commute to work. disc brakes rule) Moots RSR - almost having to sell a kidney for this, but it will be my forever bike. Building up with '11 Campy...

Masters 35-40 Cat. 3. Fastest I hit according to my Garmin this past season in interval workouts was 56.8km/hr. I am not built for sprint speed, I am a more of an barouder. I tend not to work on top end sprint speed very much.

neither is genetic good fortune, or the fact that he established both on bicycles of dubious legality.

such a subjective question, but here are my current favourites undershirts - I swear by Patagonia Merino Wool base layers, both short and long sleeved. long sleeve jersey - Assos Intermediate Evo jersey Short sleeve jersey -Castelli Aero jersey Sleeveless - Sugoi Evolution sleeveless...

for folks in North America cycles Marinoni in Montreal are an official distributor for Ambrosio, and they have NO problems providing rims. If you live on the west coast Campione Bike Shop in Vancouver are the west coast distributors, and again they likewise have no issues getting inventory...

I would be very surprised if Michael Barry does not get on the Tour squad - with all his years of experience and service to others it would be a bit of a shocker if they did not give him that opportunity to finally ride his first TDF. People do not give him anywhere near the credit he...
