I remember when Morewood just came out. I figured they were just another flash in the pan, single pivot copy that would be around for a couple of years, then blow away.

How very wrong I was. Michael Douven gets the lowdown from the Morewood guys themselves.

The mental aspect of racing is often overlooked, when really its the most important part of most sports. Dropmachine lucked out, and got an excellent article from Jamie Shankland, a former downhiller turned pro track cyclist (but still a dirtbag, thank god.)

Whether you race or not, this is an article you should read. 

This TopGear is a good one. We have goodies from Hope, SRAM, Santa Cruz, Kowa, Chromag, Kona, and Shimano. This is some primetime drool-worthy stuff!

Commencal has released a sneak peek at thier 2009 lineup. Really, there isn't much that can be said, its just better if you LOOK AT THE PICTURES.

Kona does this thing. They get a big trailer, dump a bunch of bikes in it, and drive it around. The point? The point is to let you try some Kona bikes. 

And really, you should.  

See, heres the thing. When it came time to build up the Dobermann frame (see here for history), it demanded some good stuff. No trivial bits. Choosing that in itself was almost as hard as building the bike itself.

Race day......

Sun and a nice track gave a great race.

Day one practice......a wet one
