April 17th, 2008 2 Comments
I have waited a year now to buy the perfect bike. For a while I was tempted to go with the 5.2, but why be responsible when you can spend an insane amount of money to shave a pound off your bike? This morning I went to Thanksgiving Point to an Apple Educator [...]

Just in time for riding season Trek has decided to turn on Project One. I am not sure if that means that they are planning on fulfilling those orders before the end of summer or not but it gives me something to drool over. I didn’t see prices, but I am betting that [...]
