Many cycling enthusiasts have read this article in the past week. http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/04/19/first-look-open-mountain-bike-1-0-29er-photod-weighed-ridden/

Sounds really neat right?  a 19.5 lb 29er hard tail prototype.  That got us thinking and we decided to weigh our very real as in here and now Cannondale Flash 29er Ultimate.  Now to be fair the weight in the picture was for the medium it came in at 18.44 lbs and the large came in at 18.50 lbs.  Come weigh it for yourself and if it weighs less than your road bike well Cannondale has you covered there as well with the sub 14 lb Super Six Evo.

Big Ring is now carrying Eddy Merckx bikes!  The first one is built up with Campy Record and it looks great.  The Merckx geometry is just a little different making it a perfect fit for riders who want a slightly more aggressive stance.

Kevin came to us with two goals, drop weight and add speed…  Mission accomplished.

By upgrading to a Parlee TT frame and adding a new crank we were able to shave 2 pounds and 3 ounces off his previous set up.

The Trails are still muddy and snowy.  But there is no doubt you’ve already gotten more than a few emails from your riding buddies about the annual Moab or Fruita trip.  Next thing you know its going to be April and the trails will be prime!  P.S. registration for the Firecracker 50 and the Honey Stinger 50 open Thursday!  That’s right Thursday the 1st of March.  Make it your best season yet with the new Ibis Mojo SL-R.  We just got this beauty in the picture with a Sram X-9 kit in Medium.  Also for you Marathon riders (i.e. Firecracker 50) we have size runs of the 2012 Cannondale Scalpel 29er Carbon 1 and 2.  Did I mention demos?  Well we have the Scalpel 29ers ready for you to demo.  Just remember the Front Range 60 is only 10 weeks away!
