Tom's Pro Bike: June 2013

Saturday, June 29, 2013

Weekly Saturday Wrap Up

Just a reminder that today is the final day of Tom's Pro Bike SUMMER SALE! Stop by the shop before 6:00pm for some great deals!

Monday we reminded you about the Tour Divide and it is still happening as this is typed and should still be going on over the next couple of weeks for the racers that departed from Banff. Due to flooding there will be no Canadian starts or finishes and the route was changed in New Mexico due to fire danger so there will be no "Official" record challengers. These racers are still awesome beyond description and it goes to show you just how many things can change over the course of a 2,000+ mile race that is not controlled like the Grand Tours are! We also discussed the Specialized Enduro Comp for an awesome Mountain Bike.

Tuesday we highlighted the Cervelo P2 Ultegra 2012 that is on sale for $1,999.00 with limited size availability.

We missed Wednesday's post due to travel arrangements for the blog writer so Thursday we came back with the Fuji Touring Bike. For a price of $999.00 you can't go wrong if you are in the market for a commuter/touring bike!

Friday we highlighted two Fuji UI2 Carbon Machines - the Altamira and the Gran Fondo. Once again these are on sale through this evening and we have limited size availability so stop by and take one for a test ride! You won't be disappointed!!!!

TOM'S SUMMER SALE - JUNE 17th - JUNE 29th! If you are in the market for a TT/Triathlon Bike you don't want to miss these prices. Purchase any 2013 full price bike and receive a gift card for 10% of the bike price for accessories at Tom's Pro Bike.

Mountain Bike Racing continues in Ellicottville WEDNESDAY (NOT THIS WEEK DUE TO THE 4th OF JULY HOLIDAY) - Show up at the Training Center at Holiday Valley before 6:00pm to register. NO ONLINE REGISTRATION!

Travel By Bike Thursday - FUJI TOURING BIKE

Summer Sale ends Saturday as a reminder. If you are in the market for a bike check out our sale prices and then stop by and look at current inventory. Even if you buy a 2013 model you are going to receive a Gift Card for 10% of purchase bike price.

Today we are highlighting the Fuji Touring Bike. This is a very durable entry level touring/commuting bike that will provide some valuable bike time whether you are riding to the store, doing a local tour, or riding a long mileage tour.

Let's see what Fuji has to say: A staple in our lineup, the Fuji Touring is one of the most respected bikes on the market for loaded travel. A bike handles differently when weighted with gear and needs to be designed for these extra stressors, which manifest themselves most when braking on long descents. With custom-tapered Elios 1 steel tubing, 36-hole rims, bar-end shifting, and a triple crankset from FSA, the Fuji Touring has the muscle for the challenge.

SPECIFICATIONS

COLOR(S) Dark Grey - Matte

We are heading into the last week of the Tom's Summer Sale - Remember if you purchase any 2013 Mountain Bike you will receive a Gift Card for Tom's in the amount of 10% of price of the bike for use on accessories for your new ride!

The Tour Divide is heading into it's second full week and there are many drops and many people halfway through and further.

Today's bike is the Specialized Enduro Comp. This is a bomber of a downhill bike and if that is your cup of tea this bike would be the perfect fit for you!

MSRP: $3,500.00

The 165mm-travel, M5 aluminum Enduro Comp features FSR suspension, a custom FOX Float CTD Evolution shock with AUTOSAG and Fox 34 Float CTD Evolution fork. Climb higher, descend faster.

All-new, fully manipulated M5 alloy FSR frame with ORE tubing is the centerpiece of this incredibly versatile 165mm-travel design; featuring sealed cartridge bearing pivots, 142mm + dropouts, ISCG '05 mount, and replaceable derailleur hanger
Custom tuned FOX Float CTD Evolution shock with AUTOSAG features 3 compression settings: Climb, Trail and Descend
FOX 34 Float CTD Evolution fork features 160mm of travel, settings specifically for climbing and descending, and a 15mm thru-axle for precise handling
Roval 26 all-mountain rims mated to Specialized Hi Lo hubs, 15mm thru-axle, and a 142+ rear hub spacing for durable, lightweight, and affordable package
2Bliss ready Specialized Butcher Control 2.3" dual-compound front tire for premium control on challenging trail conditions
Custom SRAM S-1250 AM double crankset with PF30 spindle and shiftguard, plus SRAM's 11-36 cassette for high-performance shifting and chain retention
All-new Sip Grip, a lock-on, Aramid infused, half-waffle MTB grip boosts durability, comfort and control
Custom Avid Elixir 5 R SL hydraulic disc brakes with alloy backed organic pads, 200mm front rotor and tool-less reach adjust for superb control and modulation

Mountain Bike Racing continues in Ellicottville for the last week of June and 4 weeks in July (not including 4th of July week). More details to follow but if it is half as much fun as the Sprague Brook Series was then you are in for a great time!
