    We are cheaper than in the US which is a turn out. Back in the late 90's friends of mine would go to Canada, buy a bike, ride it in the dirt, repack it and fly back after their holiday. Saved bigs bucks. Now you don't need to.

    Peter Sagan has won all three stages of the Amgen Tour of California so far. Sly little man. Rides the outside middle of the peloton until about 5km left, sprints to the mid front of the leaders, and finishes his sprint with 1km left. Has done it in all three stages so far this tour. Garmin-Barracuda has been doing pretty good. Seems like team Colombia all they do is sprint the hills, and fall back into nothingness elsewhere.

    Thanks. I made a few changes since this pic, but I not going to change my rigid for anything else. I have this ones since 1995, and its a beauty, a classic.

    Anyone share the opinion that some MTB trails events are nothing more than glorified BMX events under the MTB guise , Even how some MTB 's fit those effing cringeworthy front guards to the bikes looking like a Dirtbike's that partake in Motocross
