As I was riding out with some girls last week they were asking how I like my IBEX trophy. I love my bike! Of all the bikes I have ridden, it just feels so light. The lighter the bike the more control I feel that I have. So one of the girls proceeded to lift…
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this, but Woodstock Bikes is allowing me to keep the 707 to let me do more things to it. A few days ago you saw me do a posting on how I installed a new fork, Marzocchi Bomber with ETA and a new front tire, Kenda Kinetic 2.6! I…

RL, Priscilla, Grace (my wife) and I got together for a pre-mother’s day ride at the Fullerton Loop. Today was a day full of ‘firsts’. Today was the first time I’ve ever ridden off-road with my wife. Usually one stays behind with the kids. The girls slept over Grandma’s house so it was the perfect…

Lunch Box (LenzSport), the new all mountain 29er, is being demo’d by Mike Curiak a well known wheel builder/29er rider in Colorado. Here he is taking the Lunch Box out and doing things he has never done on a 29er before. For those who didn’t believe that 29er wheels would ever be strong enough to…
In the past few month we’ve made some great friends in the bike business. Some I’ve known for a few years. But KHS Bicycles has always stood by our side in making sure we know the latest trends and gadgets the industry is coming out with. There are a few key players at KHS that…
Some photos of Gary Fisher’s new HiFi 29er are on mtbr.com forums. This is for Nat Ross, the Gary Fisher racer, hence the different paint job. The medium sized bike weighs in at a very light 24.5 lbs. Race ready indeed. This is not a replacement of the Supercaliber or Caliber (Gary Fisher’s current two…
