A couple of updates later, but wanted to lead off with some bikes! And of course, being a faithful rider of Ti, here's the newest version (ok, prototype) of the Litespeed Blade. It was sneaked by slowtwitch.com, and is only described as "very, very expensive". Sweet!
What actually got me most excited this week was when Felt launched their 2009 website. They have finally figured it out. 116 different bikes for sale in 2009, and they look great. The biggest news is their new aero road bike, the AR. It will be going head-to-head with Cervelo's new Soloist Carbon (or S3 or whatever they'll call it). I like it, especially in the Garmin-Chipotle team colours!
They also have added some colours to their triathlon line, with a bunch of different models now available.
And for those who want to look cool when riding to a coffee shop, i present the Curbside!
I also found a cool new bike called a Canyon Speedmax CF. Canyon bikes are apparently very popular in Europe as they were all over the Ironman Germany course. They are apparently moving to North America with this beast. Take a look.
For those of you who already have a dream bike, then do i have a crank for you! This is the new Zipp VumaChrono crankset. And if you have to ask how much, it's probably not for you...
More bikes to come next week, but i did want to touch on the Lance and Tyler Hamilton updates. First off, Lance did race the 100-mile Leadville mountain bike race in August, and he did well. But not well enough - he finished second to legend Dave Wiens despite breaking the course record. Surprisingly, Lance said he couldn't climb as well as he used to! Too bad old man! Actually, I love seeing Lance compete, as he will forever be known as one of the greatest competitors ever.
Finally, guess who else is back? Tyler Hamilton won the US Road Race Championships this week by less than a cm! 115 miles, and it comes down to a photo finish. Check out the picture below. But it looks as though Tyler will continue racing for Rock Racing for at least 2 more years.
Anyhow, that's it for this week...see you next week!
