I wouldn't buy a Pinarello

Second frame that has self-destructed on this customer...

The first was a few months ago. Customer dropped his front wheel off of a curb and the bike sheers in half. There was no damage to the wheels, fork or any other components.

The one pictured here collapsed when the customer ran into a curb. He hit the curb hard enough to put a good, solid dent in the front wheel, but still not what I would say enough to do this to a frame.

Trails Meeting in St. George


To all of you out there...

The trails in Washington County are under review. This means we could lose trails or, if we are motivated and organized, we could possibly gain some new areas and create some new legal trails. If you have ever ridden the Goose, Little Creek, the Bear Claw Poppy, Santa Clara River Reserve, or plan to ride them in the future, then now is the time to act.

Attached is a flyer from the Dixie Mountain Bike Trails Association which is working hard to make sure that we don't lose any trails and also to move forward in maintaining our current system as well as hopefully creating new trails in the future.

If you can, attend at least one of the open houses this coming week. And if you can't then send an email. All the info is in the attached flyer.

Ride more. Out.

Mr. Gurr's Ride.

I guess this is kind of an "anti" this bike is fucked post. After weeks of preparation (read: not having enough time to build) Mr. Gurr's ride is finally together, kind of. We are still waiting for some carbon brake pads compatible with the Edge rims. What you see here is an SL3 Team Astana frame assembled with a complete Super Record 11 group with Edge stem/bars and 45 mm wheels. Mmm, Mmm beautiful. And that scale is not lying, she came in at 14.5 lbs. Pretty damn impressive.

Once I finished the build, I promptly carried the bike up the stairs to his office where she will stay until he decides to let someone else ride her....

Out.

You got taken to the cleaners.

I built two Landriders today. These are the infomercial bikes that have "auto" shifting that doesn't work. You can see from the receipt that these bikes are more a scam than anything else. Add our bill for assembly and the total for two bikes was over $1200.

Holy Shut Batman!
