Pinarello Dogma F8 in 953 Black Yellow Fluo

The Dogma F8 is an aerodynamic frame which balances frame design, lowering overall weight, and improving lateral rigidity. Having partnered with Jaguar, an English automotive giant, the aerodynamics of the F8 was reduced by an astounding 47% over the Dogma 65.1.

We just had to show off this gorgeous color combination for our client! 

Don't particularly like the Yellow Fluo? The F8 comes in a variety of color combinations with the option of customizing your own!

The Not-So-Traditional Pinarello Dogma F8.

Black, white, red, silver, and carbon have fairly been the traditional colors seen on road bikes. Luckily, Pinarello, a few other manufacturers, provide their clients with the option to custom paint their frames. Pinarello MyWay is one example of how you are able to custom color your paint and the release of the 2015 Spring collection seen in the images below showcases just a fraction of Pinarello's ability to do some pretty crazy colorway combinations. 

I recently had the pleasure of ogling at a Dogma F8 Titan Orange color - some photos that you find online just does not do the color combinations justice. What color combinations would you like on your Dogma F8? 

Is there a certain model you prefer in the 2015 Pinarello lineup aside from the Dogma F8? Which is your favorite color combination?

Litespeed T5G - A Through-Axle Titanium Mountain and Cyclocross Hybrid.

The 2015 Litespeed T5G is an adventure bike. It is a versatile, performance adventure bike built with additional clearance to accommodate up to 40mm tires. This Titanium frame and fork is built with thinner chainstays for better compliance and 12mm rear thru-axles for efficient power transfer. With the same taller oversized 44mm head tube, this comfortable design of the T5g is here for the long haul.

The Litespeed T5 Gravel is a classic bike built with bigger tire clearance and disc brakes for some modern day fun.

Jens Voigt is the new "Hour Record" holder!

Just one day after his 42nd birthday, Jens Voigt (Germany) is the current Hour Record holder. Riding 51.11k km in an hour, he takes the title from Ondrej Sosenka (CZ) who rode 49.700 km on July 19, 2005. 

Eddy Merckx, an Hour Record holder in 1972 of 49.431 km on a steel bike, stated that Voigt's attempt of the Hour Record will bring more awareness of this challenge and encourage other riders to attempt to break this record. 

Trek specially designed a bike for Jens' record attempt. See below for some awesome photos! This Hour Record attempt was being streamed live on YouTube, but if you missed it, you can still watch it here. 

We included additional photos on our Flickr Page. Congratulations and Happy Belated Birthday, Jens!

Rock Shox steps up their game in a huge way with the new Pike RCT3 fork and Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock!

Rock Shox made a splash back in April with their product launch resurrecting the beloved Pike fork and new Monarch RC3 rear shock. By now you have probably heard of the new Pike and how it has taken the suspension market by storm and is essentially the fork to have on your trail / all mountain bike. Features such as the 35mm stanchions, new Charger damper cartridge and RCT3 adjustment (open, pedal and lock) in a sub 4 lb. package makes for a fork that targets Fox's 34mm and 36mm designs. After a couple hundred miles and a weekend in Downieville I thought I would share my thoughts on the new suspension.

My Knolly Endorphin with 140mm of rear travel was the ideal platform for the Rock Shox Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock and Rock Shox Pike RCT3 150mm Solo Air fork. With it's confidence inspiring geometry, the Endorphin begs to be ridden hard through rough technical terrain which is ideal for testing out the new Rock Shox suspension.

The Pike looks great on just about every bike I have seen one on! The black stanchions really stand out and keep the front end looking really clean! Looks aside, the Pike is packed with tuning features that every rider can appreciate. The RCT3 adjustment (open, pedal and lock) work really well as I found that I kept the fork in the "pedal" position most of the time until I came up to a technical descent and really wanted to put the fork through it's paces. In the "open" position the Pike literally floats over whatever is in front of me as it really soaks up technical features and rough terrain while asking for more! Rock Shox's new Charger damper is really the crown jewel of the new Rock Shox Pike RCT3 in my opinion as it provides buttery smooth suspension that usually isn't synonymous with air suspension forks. Another great feature of the Pike is the low speed compression adjustment that allows you to dial in the fork when it comes to small bump compliance and controlling brake dive. Sweet!

Sag gradient lines on the right leg paired with an air pressure table on the left leg make setting up the suspension to your weight and rider preference really easy. And yes, Rock Shox includes shock pump and an extra set of oil seals and dust wipers for your first service, nice! Check out those beefy 35mm stanchions!

While many riders choose to run the shock that comes stock on their frame, there may be room for a significant performance gain by upgrading your rear shock. The Monarch Plus RC3 has proven this to me! While I was content with the performance stock Fox Float CTD rear shock that came on my Knolly Endorphin, I had no idea what I was missing! The Monarch Plus RC3 has the same (open, pedal and lock) compression positions of the Pike fork which is really nice as it is easy to balance your front and rear suspension based on the riding you are doing. Supple, plush suspension is the name of the game with this shock! Compared to what I was running, this shock feels more linear like a coil shock (without the weight penalty) but has no problem ramping up on big hits and getting you back up in the travel (thanks to Rapid Recovery). Akin to the Rock Shox Pike RCT3, the Monarch Plus RC3 also has sag gradient lines making setting up your suspension sag a breeze. I recently set up a client with the new Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock and here is what he had to say: "Set up and just back from first rip. Great call, transformed the bike. Love the shock!" Ken Nickel-Lane Alberta, Canada

In conclusion, a couple years ago I would've never considered myself a "Rock Shox guy".
However the amazing new Rock Shox Pike RCT3 fork and Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock have really changed my view on Rock Shox and I strongly feel as though they have hit a home run with this suspension combination. If you are considering building up a new bike or upgrading the suspension on your current rig, take a long look Rock Shox's new offerings. The Rock Shox Pike RCT3 forks have travel options ranging from 140mm to 160mm, with Solo Air (full travel) and Dual Position (drop the travel down 30mm) options that can accommodate 26", 27.5" and 29" wheel options.

If you have any questions about the Rock Shox Pike RCT3 fork or Monarch Plus RC3 rear shock, please conatact:
