As our freinds at Twin Six describe...
Pick up your copy of New World Disorder 8 "Smack Down", featuring 16 of the world's best freeride mountain bikers stretch the limits in this creative and mind blowing collection.
Introducing the *NEW* Niterider Sol at only $149.99. Some of the features of this ultimate commuter lite are; 4 hours of regulated run time, a light power of 115 lumens, and an 8 hour smart charger. This is a great introductory rechargeable headlight for the commutter friendly crowd, or if you want to tear through any of our great MTB parks for a little night ride action. 
The Niterider MiNewt X2 has two different styles. One has one headlamp(above), but you can also get the dual version, which has two headlamps. It is available for $189.99 for one headlamp, and $229.99. The MiNewt has three different light setting, a low battery indicator, run time from 3:30-7:00. It charges quickly with a 4.5 hour smart charger. This light is great for those off trail night rides and for the now famous Taco ride.
The Niterider Trailrat/Roadrat is a great introductory halogen bulb rechargeable headlight. At only $79.99, how could you pass this one up? It has a little over 2 hours of run time, and charges off of a 9 hour charger. Another great idea for those late nights/early evenings on the Wabash, or your favorite trail.
The Niterider Evolution Smart, the king of the halogen headlamps, packs a lot of punch in a small headlight. 1:45-7:00 hours of run time are packed into this 2 hour rechargeable headlamp. Comes with handlebar and helmet mount for only $249.99.
The Niterider HID Flight, king of headlights, is at the top of the line rechargeable headlamp from Niterider. This thing is like the sun coming out at night when you have it on. It does not get much better than this HID headlamp. This headlight has; 3 HID light settings, fuel gauge, 2:15 – 3:30 HR HID run time, lamp out protection, 3 LED modes: Steady/Flash/SOS, 1:30 HR Charge Time, 100:00 HR LED run time. The system also includes; HID+LED headlamp, 52” extension cable, Li-Ion Battery, 20” extension cable, handlebar mount - fits up to 31.8 mm, and a Helmet Mount. Like I said, not much better than the Flight. $499.99.

The Eurobike show is in full swing in Germany and cyclingnews.com got the scoop on the latest Yeti mountain bikes. Chris and the boys in Golden have been hard at work with revised versions of the AS-R and 575 frames. The new swoopy lines are easy on the eyes and will bring Yeti's designs on par with current offerings from Santa Cruz, Specialized and Trek.
Trek has teamed up with the Friends of the Omaha Zoo and a host of others to bring you the 2007 Critter Ride. Join us September 22nd (rain or shine) for this fun event that will include a 10 mile race directed towards avid cyclists 13+ and a 1.5 mile ride for kids and families. 10 mile riders will complete two laps through the Zoo and surrounding areas, while 1.5 mile riders will stay on Zoo grounds.
The difference between the 2007 and 2008 line is as different as black and white. Like it's Madone big brother, the 1.2 get's a 30mm taller headtube (Performance geometry). What that means to you is a much more comfortable fit while still maintaining a bike the looks sleek and fast. The slightly shorter seattube offers a bit more adjustability and creates a smoother more comfortable ride as well. But don't be fooled by the look, this is not a compact geometry road frame. The 1.2 still comes in a full range of 7 frame sizes so you get the optimum fit desired. At only $770, the Trek 1.2 is bound to grab the attention of riders looking to get into road cycling. Upgrades for 2008 include a new Sora rear derailleur, oversized handlebar and stem. Plus, the 1.2 still comes with Trek's carbon fork and seatpost that decrease high frequency road vibration.
The difference is clear, good position, fast looks!
The Livestrong ride was a huge success this past Saturday. Over a hundred Omaha cyclists took part in bike rides and enjoyed pancakes from the Pancake Man. Mike, Stacey and crew did a great job getting this event together and we were proud to be a part of it. Keep an eye on the calendar for next years event.
Like so many good things, the final three weeks in July and therefore the Tour de France are coming to an end. While many of you will fall into a deep depression, finding nothing to replace the hours and hours of coverage, recaps and Roll-isms, others will look back on the blood, sweat, and tears left on the roads of the Alps and be thankful (for the riders' sake) that its over.
We've been pretty lucky lately, having mulitple opportunities to build some pretty sweet rides. Dan's Cervelo has been an ongoing project for month's now. It's rideable but not quite complete. The CSC edition frame, compliments of Highgear, is an amazing piece of engineering artistry.
Couple that with full Shimano Dura-Ace, FSA carbon bar and stem, Zipp 404 powertap wheels and you have one serious pro peloton worthy machine.
The fine details will be trimmed out later this week with Zipp carbon waterbottle cages and Vision Tech clip-on bars, Arione TT saddle and 76 degree seatpost for races against the clock.
Here's a glimpse of Fred's new stealth ride. Explicitly designed for Ironman Germany, he's now armed and ready for his european assault. Fred picked up the frame from our brothers in Kansas City. Acceleration duties are handled by SRAM Force along with Shimano compact hollowtech II cranks. Decceleration by Zero Gravity and SRAM. Throw in some Zipp and Vision tech speed goodies and you come up with a 100 mile killer.
Not much frontal area here. The only wind drag will be Fred and from what I've seen, he's looking pretty svelte (or is it sFELTe) these days!

SRAM is getting ready to launch it's new bar end shifters and brake levers. We were able to pull some strings and get one of the first pairs available. These little beauties are going on Fred's new Felt DA that he picked up from our KC store. Then he's off to Ironman Germany.
After 2 years and 40 designers, engineers, and scientists totally dedicated to the project doing countless prototype runs, the completely redesigned Madone is here and in stock.
The first ever carbon steer tube on an all new lighter weight carbon fork. The carbon steer tube itself saves 100 grams over other aluminum versions.
The Madone's new integrated bottom bracket is 40 grams lighter than traditional designs, has the industry's widest BB/downtube junction, and has a 48% increase in lateral downtube stiffness.
