So the hunt is on for my new CX frame. I've ridden for the past few season on a too small for me orbea and I'm sucking it up  getting something that fits well and help me improve my handling.  

I'm thinking a low BB frame seems like a good idea given my penchant for slow turns and questionable technical skills.

The local shop carries Redline, Trek/GF and Scott.  

Anyone have an idea, Bueller?

I know it ain't a CX bike, but so effing what? Most people around here seem to know what a mountain bike is. I drooled over a number of CX rigs during my SF vacation and I will talk about that in the not too distant future. Finish reading this, go ride and disseminate chaos.

Yeaaaaah Baby! I know…

So it's May and October seems an awful long way off.  My bike is nearly completely disassembled in the shop.  The bare frame and fork are sitting there on the stand.  I don't know what to do.

I think I made need to go  sniff the new griffos or fangos in the basement.

Maybe I need to buy a new frame.

Anyone have a training plan?

Maybe I need to get serious about buying my tubular wheels.

How do I stop the shakes or…

The offseason. It's officially here. I don't want to....but I have to accept it. The last race this past Sunday was a true nail biter. For the first time in years, one of the three major series was up for grabs on the last day of the series. Sven Nys' experience and ability to handle pressure saw him come out on top of the young challenger in Kevin Pauwels. Ya, there's one more race tomorrow, but thats really just more of a parade than anything else.

Fox Antifreeze Gloves

MSRP: $49.95

Sizes: SM(8), MD(9), LG(10), XL(11)

I'll be right up front and tell you; I'm not a big fan of winter gloves. They're often thick and bulky, leading to a disconnected feel when braking or shifting using the componentry found on most modern machines. However, left with the option of racking the bike for five months per year, or donning the walrus mits for a cold-weather spin, I'll…

Anyone ever ride FMB Grippo XL in the mud? I am looking to buy. Does anyone know of a shop that has Dugast Rhino 32's in stock? Many places on the net list them but area actually sold out.

Looking for a Bianchi Roger in a 52cm. $$ or Trade.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Last week we posted the challenge for Halloween -- make a donation to the Wounded Warrior Project and you get to vote on what costume I wear to race my bike in. The grand winner is . . . the 187s! Chief 187 picked me to dress up as a old-west Marshall, perhaps Wyatt Earp. Well, you asked for it:…
