A purchase like that really cannot be rationalized when there are so many great bikes out there for a fraction of that. But buying a bike like the Corvid from Independent Fabrication is not rational, rather it is purely...

From Grant over at the Pamparius Pizza Blog: Carytown Bikes and Pamparius spent the night with each other, and about 80 other kiddos who braved some unusually cold weather to eat a few slices on the sidewalk.

The fine folks over at Bike Rumor just got the complete low down on the all new Mavic Cross Max SLR wheels. This wheel has been noticeably absent from the Mavic lineup for quite some time now. While they did have a 29er wheelset in their Crossmax series it was not exactly lightweight. It made...

Lieutenant Collier may have only been into road riding for a couple years not but that did not stop him from developing some good taste.
