    Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

    A month ago I needed a couple CO2 refills.  There is a shop that is a couple miles away so I stopped in on my way to grab coffee.  Quickly I was hit by sticker shock for the little CO2 cartridges.  I hadn’t purchased CO2 and full retail, nor had I bought any in almost […]

    The Bike Industry and the Wave

    Thursday, March 27th, 2008

    Masi-Guy wrote an awesome post of where the cycling industry is currently going and how it is getting there. The US economy is in a fritz with taxes, gas and the housing market. Recession is the talk on most news channels and being a small fish in the cycling community can be pretty […]

    Originally from Guitar Ted’s Blog :

    Holy Cow BMC

    Hopefully you got past the cheesy title. JensonUSA is BLOWING out ‘07 BMC Superstroke frames. Last time I checked frames were available from 17″ through 21.” How much is blowing out? 53% off.
    I’m a big fan of the BMC Virtual Pivot System. Last summer I spent some […]

    Arm Warmers

    Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

    Recently I have been wearing arm warmers more and more. I warm up quickly on the mountain bike so the fact that arm warmers pull off quickly helps with layering. Also investing in expensive long sleeve jerseys for a 2 month season isn’t worth it to me. A warm vest and […]

    Tire Levers Gone Bad

    Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

    I will be working on video how to’s for Blue Collar.   If you have something you can’t understand by text or photos please let me know!  I will be starting with the basics and working towards harder projects.
    For now a rant :
