BMC in the HOUSE
Thats right folks we got the Tour De France winning bike company right here at the shop. We currently have the Street Racer and Team Elite 29er in stock. The Street Machines are your perfect do it all aluminum race bike that leave you with enough money left in your pocket to actually make it to the races. The uber engineered BMC 29ers are quick and responsive making them ideal race bikes or great for those who like to have “trail candy” to show off to their friends!
Cervelo S5 is here
Every year in the bike industry, companies come out with better or new products that make the bike you bought last year completely out of date- what the heck? However, there are a few companies that produce a product that is soo good there is little to no reason to improve on it more the next year; one of those companies is Cervelo. One of their bikes that clearly demonstrates this was the Cervelo P3. If you look back all the way to 2006 the Cervelo P3 (the carbon version that is- for those who were going to point out it was made previously as the P3-sl) has made little to no changes even for 2012- the bike just worked; and it looked really cool too.
If you already know Cervelo then you would also be farmilliar with the classic S series (soloist series) road bikes. They were one of the first truely aero road bikes on the market and are still available today as the S2. This bike was and still is awesome, however, the guys at Cervelo went the next step and came up with the S5. When we first saw the bike it looked oddly similar to this:
which leaves us to believe maybe NASA built this bike and they just labeled it a “Cervelo”, but either way, this thing is great. This bike unlike the previous S series doesn’t ride like an aero road bike at all. It has the bottom bracket stiffness of the R- series bikes, handles like it is on rails, and looks even better than the previous generation aero road bikes. Word!
If you were to strap two rocket boosters to this thing it would look remarkably similar to the Space Shuttle- see! And this is only the SRAM Rival Version- imagine the possibilities! This model retails for $3800 which costs $449.9 Million Dollars less than a typical shuttle mission. So it is actually a really good deal; why not just buy two?
Come in and check it out! More info can be found on the Cervelo Web site- http://www.cervelo.com/en_us/
2012 brings the HEAT from Kona! The New Kona Carbon King Kahuna and Honzo
If your a 29er geek, like us, then you already know about the new Carbon King Kahuna from Kona. And, if you did know about the bike then you also would know they are not yet available, but if you ride a 19inch then Lifecycle may have the bike for you. In other 29er news the new Kona Honzo is here! 29er (check), all mountain (check), Maxxis Ardent tires(check 2.4 front and 2.25 rear- make that a tripple check!), and a Rock Shox Revelaiton (double-tripple check); what else could you possibly want? Ok enough about the bikes, here is some photo’s:

And a little up close action:

And of course…
