TRANS-Iowa

Our boy Sam is off racing across Iowa on gravel and "B" roads. At last report they were waiting for the first group to arrive in Alton. The first section of B road was total mud and slowed the rides to a stand still.

The race is almost 340 miles long. I'll throw up reports if I get any. Good Luck Sam!!!

LeMond TRIOMPHE


LeMond introduced it's first ALL carbon frame at the Tour of Georgia this weekend with the help of 3 time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond. The new frame was designed entirely in house at Trek/LeMonds headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin. The frame has very striking features including highly ovalized tubes at the head tube and seat tube. In addition to the very unique mono-seatstay, the new frame includes asymetric chainstay that help resist torsional flex. We should have these bikes in stock as soon as they are available, stay tuned...

The Triomphe in full profile

The most striking feature of the new frame is the ultra thin profile of the rear monostay. Load is actually transferred from the seatstays into the top tube for a very smooth compliant ride. The seatpost clamp area has three slots instead of one to distribute load evenly around crush sensitive carbon seatposts
