I built up the brushed aluminium version at work on Friday, looked very nice once finished. Very tempted to purchase one.

Will be hot property in 2033, beardos don't do innovation until 20+ years later, most beardos are begrudgingly accepting indexed down tube shifters just now...

Yeah, and these crazy things called Clinchers?

Is tiagra any good?

[nexus]

Not beardo. For mtb'rs wanting to make the jump to drop bars. They can't get their heads around cantis.

[ascension]

Didn't Tiagra get an overhaul with the rest of the Shimano range? Still sporting the 7800 style.

The secteur disc is an interesting addition to the 2013 line as well.

Good article here with bike weights too:

I don't really understand who is going to buy an s-works allez... is this a crit thing?

Kanye better look out, at 13lbs off the rack, every chump will have access to a weight weenie.

Seems several of the big companies are getting in on the 'boutique' market
this is a trek sawyer


Back to the Tricross-check, wonder if they will offer frame only, and hopefully the price will be competitive with Surlys framesets.

Did they ever! Oh well. You snooze you loose. Nice looking bike. Pity the spec is a bit too middle of the road.
