New Shimano for 2007

I picked this up off of Cycling News. It was leaked to a Norwegian site. I heard Shimano was working on new XTR but it looks like they're carrying it all the way down the line to XT & LX. The shifter is labeled Dual Release which leads me to believe that one of the levers performs both upshifts and downshifts. Looks like they've shaved some grams of the stuff as well.

Steve's custom Madone SSLx OCLV 55 Boron

Bikes don't come too much sweeter than this. Carbon frame, fork, rims, hubs, cranks, stem, seatpost and handlebars. I think that covers it! Steve upgraded to the must have Chris King headset, flat resistent Vittoria Diamante Pro tire and traded out the Dura-Ace crank for a Bontrager Carbon Compact. The Crown Jewel of the handlebar command center is the brand new Garmin 305 wireless GPS/heartrate/cadence/speed computer. The setup is awesome.

Saturday Morning Ladies Ride

Hey there ladies,
As you've probably noticed the weather has improved a bit providing us with an opportunity to ride this weekend. It'll be about 25-30 degrees this coming Saturday morning and I'm curious to know if anyone will be joining Lori and I. Remember, it's a casual ride designed to have fun and meet other riders. As usual we'll stop off at Caribou for some relaxation and a cup of coffee/tea. Please post a comment if you plan to come! We'll meet in the parking lot of the Trek Store at 9:45 so we can be ready to ride at 10:00. Thanks! -C
