Saturday's Miscellaneous Musings - HEATED BAR TAPE

Picture to follow once we get into the shop and upload one but believe what you just read - Heated Coil runs under your handlebar tape and warms your hands for up to 2 hours of run time!

It is new to the market place but we have one customer running it already on his bike and Tom just installed it on his machine as well.  The customer raved about it and has high hopes for some glove free or lighter weight glove riding all winter long!  This tape would be perfect for early or late season riding as well when the temps cool off enough to effect blood circulation to the extremities but you are covered nicely in your core area.

The price is $250.00 and that does not include installation if you want us to run it for you!  Stop by and check the set up out on Tom's bike - you won't be disappointed!

We will be taking a Blog Break Monday & Tuesday but look for our return on Wednesday with some ideas to pick up some Post-Christmas treats for the bike rider!

Just a reminder that the shop will be open Sunday from 10-3 for those last minute gifts!

Travel By Bike Thursday - ALL-CITY MACHO MAN

All-City is not a well known bike like the big boys that we stock, but they are well manufactured and you would not be disappointed in making the choice to purchase one of these fine bikes as a commuter/cross race bike!  The brand is related to the Surley and Salsa line and is distributed by QBP out of Minnesota.

This bike is explained by the fine folks at All-City as:

The geared tag team partner of the Nature Boy has finally arrived in the form of the Macho Man.  Same geo, same fork, same awesomeness but with our signature vertical dropouts.  The AC hallmarks are all still there too, headbadge, hidden fender mounts, reinforced bottle bosses, etc., but the Macho loses the internal brake routing in favor of a triple top tube guide.
That last part was quite a conundrum for us as the internal routing has been an AC calling card, but with a CX bike it didn't make sense to put the shift cables on the downtube. Which is why we elected to put them all up top and out of the way of the muck.  This also allowed us to put a nice barrel adjuster on the front derailleur stop, and to take advantage of Shimano's new CX 70 top pull cyclocross specific front derailleur.  Of course if you want to run a standard road front derailleur, there is a pulley mount to allow you to do so. 
As far as complete bike spec goes, we're very proud of the rock solid parts kit.  It’s got a Salsa bar/stem, FSA post, 105 shifters and rear derailleur, Shimano CX70 front derailleur, FSA Gossamer crankset, Conti tires, etc, etc.  In short, it is stacked with good stuff.  The color is a lovely citroen, and not at all banana-y as the photos might suggest.
The Macho continues and expounds upon the Nature Boy's legacy, we're proud to bring it to you, and proud to loudly send the message that we're taking over steel cyclocross.

The build incorporates:

Frame | All-City Macho Man 612 Select ChroMoly steel. Double butted down, top, and seat tubes. Externally tapered, ovalized, and dimpled chain stays, tapered seat stays 130mm rear spacing, 1 1/8th headtube, English bottom bracket, 27.2 seatpost
Fork | All-City Nature Boy 100% 4130 ChroMoly tapered fork blades, lugged crown and matching dropout.
Headset | Cane Creek 10 Series Black
Stem | Salsa Pro Moto 3 Black, four bolt, 1 1/8th threadless, 31.8 clamp
Handlebar | Salsa Cowbell 3 Black, 12 degree flare, 31.8
Tape | Velo Cork Black
Shift / Brake Lever | Shimano 105 10 speed
Front Derailleur | Shimano CX70
Rear Derailleur | Shimano 105 Black
Brake | Tektro R720 Black
Crankset | FSA Gossamer Black, 46-36t

Bottom Bracket | FSA MegaExo
Seatpost | FSA SL 280 Black, 27.2mm
Saddle | All-City Gonzo Black
Cassette | Shimano Tiagra 12-28t, ten speed
Chain | KMC X-10 Silver
Hubs | Tiagra Silver
Rims | Alex Race 24 Black, 32 hole
Tires | Continental Cyclocross Race 700 X 35c, steel bead
Tubes | Cheng Shin 700 X 32 Presta Valve

We do not stock this bike currently but we are able to order you one!

I love the front fork on this bike.  I have the Single Speed Nature Boy -Woooooooooooooooooooo! (Big Props to you if know how the name came about - just leave a comment) and love the bike's design and ridability level.  I did a custom build on mine because I had some spare parts laying around but there is nothing wrong with the Macho Man's build specs at all.  You can race this bike during cross season and then commute on it year round.

If you need more information on this bike stop by the shop or give us a call!

Just a reminder that the shop will be open Sunday from 10-3 for those last minute gifts!

• 43%  less effort at the end of the lever stroke than FD-7900

Cassette Sprockets:

Rider-tuned means Dura-Ace works the way you want it. The new 11-speed cassettes are available in a range of sizes including a wide-range 11-28 option - one cassette to use all year round. Smooth, fast shifting guaranteed.

• Titanium sprockets (16T and bigger)
• 11-speed, Rider-tuned gear combinations 11-23T/11-25T/11-28T/12-25T/12-28T

Brakes:

Long, fast descents demand confidence. Dura-Ace brakes deliver, with a new symmetrical dual pivot design and twin bearings reducing pivot friction and improving efficiency and controllability. Along with new low-friction BC-9000 cables, Dura-Ace brakes give smooth, light operation with excellent modulation. Available with conventional mount or direct mount for aero road bikes (BR-9010).

• 10% more power than BR-7900
• Smooth and light operation with increased modulation
• Also available in direct mount version (BR-9010) for aero applications

Front Derailleur:

With a revised actuation ratio in combination with the ST-9000 shifter and polymer-coated cables, the new Dura-Ace front derailleur delivers both a shorter stroke at the lever and reduced effort.

• New designed pull arm for more direct and easy shifting
• More equal shifting effort across the range
• New support bolt for more stable contact to the frame

Rear Derailleur:

The 11-speed Dura-Ace rear derailleur has been redesigned for lighter operation with the help of new low-friction polymer-coated cables. Shifting effort is now more even across the range, with similar force required at both ends of the cassette.

• Fast and accurate shifting
• 11-speed design
• Maximum sprocket 28t
• More equal shifting effort through the range
