Old school downhill mountain biking
Gilligan wrote this 5 months, 20 days ago.
Yes, this is what it looked like in the old days of the early 90′s… rigid hardtails, neon lycra, body armor and plenty of bright anodized parts… only the top factory riders got the advantages of 60mm travel forks.
Check out some video footy of the brutal crash-n-action:

2010 Specialized Transition

I was looking for a bike that would allow me to get my frontal exposure low, but still give me the
comfort and feel of a road bike. When the boys presented me with the Transition, I was blown away.
It just wanted to go. The handling was exceptional and the feel perfect. Ten weeks later, I rode the
Transition to victory at the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii.

2010 Specialized Tarmac SL3

To be a pro rider, you have to pay meticulous attention to every aspect of your fitness—training,
nutrition, rest—and Specialized shows that same care with their bikes. My Tarmac is the best bike
Ive ever had. Its seriously stiff, accelerates fast and is so light that I still cant believe how well it
handles, even on fast descents.

Shimano announces 11-speed Alfine hub
Gilligan wrote this 5 months, 26 days ago.
Shimano has announced an 11 speed internal hub, primarily for upscale commuter and light touring bikes. The gearing range will be 409% (Alfine 8 speed is 307%). The hub runs in a oil bath similar to the Rohloff Speedhub, and should result in higher efficiency and longer service life. The price will be 300€, set for European release in September. If this hub proves strong enough, it may be a cheaper option to the Rohloff for no-derailleur off-road applications.

Lynskey’s Capabilities
Gilligan wrote this 5 months, 28 days ago.
Many of you may not realize that our hometown titanium wizards, Lynskey Performance, also make bikes for several other companies. We recently came across this hardcore long forked trail hardtail, made for Ragley Bikes of Britain.
J. Pills claims the designer, Brant Richards, is insane… but I am thinking seriously about something like this for the sort of super-technical hiking trail pickery, rock drops and gravel road bombing I do around the homestead.
The brits have some strange ideas regarding what makes a proper hardtail: this thing is made for 130-160mm freeride forks and 2.5″ rubber. It has a slack head angle, an upright seat tube, short stays and a stretched out top tube. Sort of like the old Gary Fisher Genesis geometry taken to the extreme. Maybe if you rode the slimy, rocky trails those limeys ride, you’d understand.
At any rate, this frame is interesting, and it shows the capabilities of Lynskey to build just about anything you can imagine.
Here’s a nice, unbiased review of the Ragley: Ragley Ti on Bike Radar

North American Handmade Bicycle Show

North American Handmade Bicycle Show
Our favorite drool-fest of custom cycle creativity is happening in Richmond in late February, and Shimano has signed on as title sponsor of the boutique builders’ big get together.
Do you dream of one day owning a custom bike? Come talk to us and let’s see how we can make your dreams come true. If you see something you like, chances are we can help you assemble something using off-the-shelf production frames and components that will be nearly as nice, though not so personal or spendy.
Or, maybe you’d like a retro ride similar to the new customs… well, we can help there too. We are experts at rebuilding old bikes, repainting, and updating… maybe you have an old faithful steed that you’d like to dress up… maybe add fenders, a Brooks saddle and moustache bars to an old road bike? Or maybe you’d like a fixed gear like all the young hipsters around town? We do that.
