Tom's Top 10 of 2015 - COLNAGO CLD

Slide background

Ladies are you looking for a new road bike for the upcoming 2015 and beyond season?  You should check out the Colnago CLD:

The CLD is a brand new bike. It is a car­bon fibre frame with geom­e­try and a car­bon lay-up designed specif­i­cally for women. It has a shorter top tube than our tra­di­tional frame geom­e­try to guar­an­tee more com­fort. The frame has a semi-integrated 1”1/8 to 1”1/4 steer­ing col­umn to give rigid­ity and pre­ci­sion bike han­dling. The com­po­nents have also been care­fully cho­sen to bet­ter suit women: the han­dle­bar stem is shorter and the han­dle­bars are nar­rower com­pared to our usual com­po­nent selec­tion. The bike is fit­ted with a Selle Italia Lady saddle.

CLD is avail­able in four sizes and four dif­fer­ent colours.


My first even "nice" road bike was an old steel frame Colnago with full Campagnola.  I miss that bike and if you are looking to add a top end carbon bike to your stable then the CLD is a great place to start.

Tom's Top 10 of 2015 - SPECIALIZED VENGE LUNCH RACE


Welcome back to the Top 10 of 2015 and today's edition of the 2015 Specialized Venge Lunch Race.  Tom had originally had the 2015 Specialized Venge Comp down but in doing my research I came across this bike and the look caught my eye, then the name, and finally the build.  Let's see what Specialized has to say:



The Venge is fast. Plain and simple. So is the Specialized Lunch Ride—often called the Specialized Lunch Race. This Venge LunchRace (LR) bike is inspired by our Friday ride and built for anyone looking for a simply fast ride. It's built with a 1X11 drivetrain saving more weight and aero drag than a traditional double crankset. Tested in our Win Tunnel so you can win your own LunchRace. Ride Hard, Earn Lunch.
  • Roval Rapide CL 60 full carbon clincher wheelset is light, stiff, and aero
  • Specialized Turbo Pro tires deliver low rolling resistance w/ superior cornering traction
  • Specialized Pro FACT carbon crankset w/ OSBB and 52T XSYNC 1X chainring delivers power directly to the rear wheel
  • S-Works Aerofly bar saves 17 seconds over 40 km versus a traditional bar and gives you style Watts
  • SRAM Force 22 rear derailleur for smooth, quiet and reliable shifting
  • SRAM Force 22 CX1 shifters offer clear, defined shifts that engage immediately
  • Romin EVO Expert saddle w/ hollow Ti rails delivers power in low, aerodynamic positions
There is more Technical Information Available if you CLICK HERE.

This awesome bike has a MSRP of $5,500.  For more information stop by the shop today.  We are open from 10-8 and you can check out our complete inventory of Road Aero Bikes and all others!
