Bike Rumor

Click here to see the latest interview with Dejay and I.

Planning for the 2009 season

I think the hardest part about getting for the 2009 race season is choosing the right hair style. here are a few Ideas that I have found. What do you think?

I like the freedom of this style.

A more classic look....

Maybe try and be a little more like Dejay.

I'm so confused, So many choices.

I don't know which way to look.

So you thought you were flying...

Not like these guys.

Bike swap Fuzzy begins...

When I bought this bike it was my life time bike! I never thought I would get rid of it. Maybe replace some parts here and there, but never get rid of the frame. 

Well, old faithful has become neglected...I don't think I have ridden this bike for 2 or 3 years...I can't remember. The wheels have fewer than 15 rides on them. the brakes are some what new also. One of the gems of this bike is the NEW Boone Tech 33t spiderless Chainring.

I'm not sure how much to sell it for, I know Ti is expensive but the economy sucks, so if your interested let me know and we can try and strike a deal.

What is on this bike:

Dean Colonel single speed

Fox F80X fork

Avid Juice Carbon Disc Brakes

DT Swiss 240 Hubs Center lock SS

Stan's No Tubes 355 rims

WTB tires 

Thompson seatpost

Easton EA70 Stem

Easton Monkeylite Low rise bars

Salsa QRs

Truvativ Stylo SS cranks

Boone Tech Ti Chainring

Specialized alias seat

The bike is in great shape, there is some wear on the crank arms from my shoes, the tires are almost new. I will include some extras, a custom made tool for adjusting the Eccentric BB, a 26" tube, the spider for the cranks with a 34t chainring and 2 Elite Ciussi Water bottle cages.

A cool week!

I just got back to Riverside after spending a long weekend in Arcata. I am so glad to be back in the sun, today the wind is blowing hard but when you go outside it's hot, a little strange but I like it.

I got a little press coverage(and a boost to my ego) from the last race(training race), check it out here.

Here are some pictures from the race as well.

Looking relaxed on the start line.

Moving fast into the switchbacks, a few seconds back from Brad.

I also was interviewed for a pretty big magazine, I let you know if it comes out in print!

Is it next year already?

I know it's not, but I am getting ready for it already. Training has begun, the miles are adding up and I am feeling good. Last weekend I did my 92 mile road ride on Saturday, in about 4 hours and 15 minutes. then on Sunday I went out and did a XC race. The field was maybe 100 strong in the Pro/Semi/Expert race. Some how I pulled out 2nd overall on my singlespeed, only about 10 seconds of the win. I think I might do more XC next year.... ; )  

So back to getting ready for next year, I need to plan my race schedule. does anyone out there have great races to recommend? if so please let me know. I like big climbs, lots of single track  and long walks on the beach(I mean up hike-a-bikes). 

I got a new camera! I have been taking so many of pictures of Ian,  bear with me...
