  • Cervelo Rca

    Cervelo Rca

    Yesterday, Cervelo officially launched their new Project California Rca frameset which, according to the company, “integrates category-defining light weight, stiffness, and ride quality with S-series aerodynamics.” That claim of lighter and stiffer with better aerodynamics and great ride quality sounds a bit too good to be true, and would come across as nothing but marketing…

    The winning bikes at US Pro

    For the seventh year in a row, I had a great time watching and photographing the USA Pro Championship races here in Greenville, SC.  After a great run here, the road and time trial national move to Chattanooga, TN next year, but this last US Pro in Greenville (for a while at least) was definitely…

    Cervelo P5- rules are meant to be broken…or at least bent

    If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know that I have a weakness for time trial bikes. Like almost every new time trial machine, the new Cervelo P5 looks fast… even sitting still (and I am sure that it is a very fast bike with the right motor). What’s different about…

    The fastest bike at the US Pro time trial

    Keeping with the theme from last year, I wanted to post a few shots of the winning bike from the USA Pro Cycling Championship time trial today. It wasn’t to hard to guess that Zabriskie, fresh from a TT win in California last week, had a pretty good chance ending up on the top step…

    Seoul cycle design competition 2010

    Several readers have emailed me lately suggesting that I post a link to the designboom post about the Seoul Cycle Design Competition. I actually already mentioned it, but it was buried in a post full of links, so I can see how many people didn’t notice it. The competition has three categories: cycle design, infrastructure…

  • Links and troubleshooting

    A reader, Jim, sent me a couple of interesting links that I want to pass along to all of you. The first is an article in Design Engineering magazine about the development and engineering of a Devinci downhill bike. The amount of data they collected to measure forces at various points on the bike is…
