Been wresting with this in my head since is was roomer 2 months ago..Dak is now NOT young. needs to get paid.. Bummed as we all are about not FW or Intense. He also is prob. gonna marry Frida who has not had a ride for the last 2 years. I totally get it. Get that $ DAK, And the bike works.

having BC and DAK on your squad and you become the people’s team immediately.

He likes BCoulanges. Obviously, as everyone does, since Coulanges is fantastic, but still: sounds 100% not lame to me!

Watching the Downtime Podcast with guest Wyn Masters, he mentioned a rumour that Dak is going to Scott Factory. Interesting. Really good episode, always enjoy listening to Wyn yak about bikes

random: i spotted what i'm pretty sure was another one of these on the shore yesterday. (same profile, cover, swingarm config, etc). his buddy was on what looked like a proto mule (raw alu) single crown thing. no indication of company affiliation on bikes nor clothing. entirely non-useful info, sorry.

Odd that they would brand a new/proto fork with the old (superior, seriously, I didn't see a single positive comment on the whole internet) branding...

Funny screen grab… oops… But more production ready frames… more brembos, and different Ohlins stanchions.. I think frame and brakes are soon! Let’s hope. I want the brakes. Not sure on Ohlins but will be interesting to see that direction

Darren Baum already did this so I'd be shocked if Cannondale isn't all over it... "Less easy was the fork, and rather than going the rigid route, Baum customised a Cannondale Lefty Ocho mountain bike fork (if you can call it that). “There’s no arch to get in the way of the tyre, but it had too much travel. The front wheel would have ended up hitting the down tube during compression, too, so we did some work in house to reduce the travel to 80 mm, which is what we were after for a gravel bike,” shared Baum of...

Honestly, we're probably all just huge nerds. Or maybe, the sad reality of it is that cycling in general is such an expensive and elitist sport that it mainly attracts people who are financially quite well off. And in most western countries, academic success is very strongly linked to financial prosperity. Rich people, statistically speaking, still have much better chances in academia and generally much better access to higher education. Therefor it is probably not a coincidence that people who ride bikes seem have above average education. I'd like to see a venn diagram on this sociology of cycling.

New Mezzer inbound?

They won't even let us see their Lenkwinkel.

Reach: 500mm Stack: TOP SECRET!!!

Saw pics of him beeing in medical care because of the last bail, that could be a reason for not showing up.

Peatys latest instagram with syndicate ride doesn’t tag Laurie in it. If anybody on the team could make it to Sheffield it would be him surely.

What the hell is wrong with these companies? Both Stoll and DirtySixer think they can sell bikes without telling people the geometry. Is this just some kind of rug pull because they don't know what they're doing, and until Trek or Specialized or whoever comes out with a sorted 32inch bike they can trick people into being early adopters with the alure of new-new (be the first on your block!)? This is some fly by night nonsense.

One thing that became almost immediately clear in the relatively short time that I have been reading and participating in bike-related internet forums is that the proportion of posters that are good at math is extremely high. It seems that 1 in 10 is an actual engineer, and the proportion of math-brained folks among the remainder is way higher than the public at large. As such, holding back geometry information strikes me as misguided because one's efforts are destined to be futile unless they also refuse to release pictures of the product. From the moment the bike is portrayed in...

The one thing I notice about this spreadsheet is how Norco doesn't really have a viable Elite Male. Has this changed since last year? Without citing the Men's personnel, specifically, it's worth noting that Gracey was maybe THE most exciting new Elite female. Aren't there some available top 20 men out there that should be slotting-into this suddenly successful team?

Full list of rumors this year: Oisin to Trek Everyone else to Frameworks

I don't understand what you are getting at. YT made a financial commitment to those racers, those racers fulfilled their end of the agreement and Markus failed to pay them what he owed them. Whether you think a race team is a good investment or not, a business owner should pay their obligations. While it may be legal to not pay the team members it isn't ethical.

I know Kolb said he had offers for much more money but chose YT because apparently it was a long (think 5 year) contract. I really feel sorry for him thinking he was going to be at a place for the long haul to only loose everything before the end of the first season.
