Triathlon/TT Tuesday - SPECIALIZED CRAVE EXPERT 29

We have our local WNYMBA chapter trying to win grant money (which you can help by voting for them at THIS LINK), a 6 week Tuesday night race series is 2 weeks away at Sprague Brook, and I love mountain biking so I figured an Off-Road Triathlon Bike post today would not be a bad thing.

We are highlighting the Specialized Crave Expert 29:

With an all-new frame, the Crave is designed for fast cross-country racers. It delivers great performance with the help of a RockShox Reba RL 29 fork, a Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur, and Shimano Deore Hydraulic disc brakes provide confidence to attack each corner.

• New, fully butted, smooth-welded M4 Premium Aluminum frame is super-lightweight, stiff, and features XC 29er Geometry, integrated headset, tapered headtube for front-end stiffness, plus bridge-less seatstays for compliance over bumps
• 100mm-travel RockShox Reba RL 29 fork features a Solo Air spring, TurnKey damping remote Push-Loc, tapered steerer tube and externally adjustable rebound for plush and lightweight performance
• Specialized Stout SL Disc 29" wheels feature double-wall rims with sealed bearings for lightweight, durable wheels
• Custom SRAM 10-speed XC double-ring crankset with 29er gearing and GXP bottom bracket offers lightweight and durable performance paired with Shimano Deore XT Shadow Plus 10-speed rear derailleur for exceptional shifting performance
• Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes use 180mm front rotor for increased braking power, while 160mm rear rotor keeps weight low. Shimano levers feature lever reach adjustment

For more information on the Crave or any other mountain bike that we inventory stop by the shop.  The trails are drying out and the forecast calls for warmer temperatures so that means fun times in the woods!

Mountain Bike Monday - IT'S A FATBIKE

The weather held off on "all" the rain we were supposed to get so we held an informal Tom's Pro Bike Mountain Bike ride at Sprague Brook yesterday afternoon.  It was funny that only fat bikes showed up to play.  Lynskey and Specialized were represented by Tom's Pro Bike sold bikes at the ride and it was a great time.

The Lynskey Stratus is the titanium version of the Fat Bike and rode solidly for the first time in the dirt:

Float along on our new Stratus all terrain fatbike and you’ll find yourself enjoying muddy, sandy, slushy, icy, and other downright nasty trail conditions like never before. You can also assault those ruthless potholes, curbs, and cobblestones of your local asphalt jungle with ease, comfort, and fun!
At the core of this beauty is our 3Al-2.5V titanium frame. As you can imagine titanium is the perfect material for a fatbike. It’s superstrong, extra-lightweight, and it will never rust, corrode, or tarnish even if you live and ride on nothing but oceanfront saltwater beaches.

The frame is packed full of features such as rear rack mounts, slider dropouts that allow to you run either geared or single speed, a versatile 44mm (i.d.) headtube that accepts both straight and tapered fork steerer tubes, and the rear seatstays and chainstays have clearance for up to a 4.0” rear tire. Several of you have already asked about the possibility of running a 29" wheel/tire package, move the sliders back a smidge from center, you're set.

The Specialized Fatboy is an aluminum version with carbon fork and it's owner had a blast riding it on the dirt for the first time as well:

All the fun of a fat bike with the performance of a Specialized. The Fatboy combines a lightweight frame and fork with 4.6" Specialized Ground Control tires for nimble handling in the most extreme conditions.

• New, fully butted M4 Premium Aluminum frame with 190mm rear spacing and a tapered headtube for a lightweight platform with stiffness where you need it and clearance for 5" tires
• New, full monocoque, Specialized FACT carbon fiber fork with 5-inch tire clearance is super-lightweight and stiff
• Wide, 4.6" Specialized Ground Control tires with foldable aramid bead are light, fast rolling, and provide excellent traction regardless of the terrain
• Custom 2x10 PF30 crankset with 100mm spindle provides tough and dependable performance
• Tektro Draco 2 hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful and consistent braking, regardless of the weather, temperature or terrain
• SRAM X7 10-speed rear derailleur provides fast and reliable shifting that can handle all the elements

Tom's currently has a Medium Surly Puglsey in stock and a Large Specialized Fatboy.  We can order in your size and also the Lynskey.  These bikes are versatile and you are guaranteed to have a great time no matter where you are riding the bike - including riding in the creeks!  Stop by for more information.

May is National Bike Month - why don't you try and commit one more bike commute to work than you did in April as a motivational tool. Remember we have all the tools available to make your commute dry, safe, and comfortable!

Fast & Furious Friday - CERVELO S3

Looking back over the past 1 1/2 years I realized we have never highlighted a Cervelo on Fast & Furious Friday and that is strange because these bikes are Fast and they allow you to be Furious so here we go.  Today we are highlighting the Cervelo S3:

The world championship-winning S3 is back… and even better than before. A completely redesigned chassis combines new, more robust airfoil sections with a rear triangle borrowed from our revolutionary RCA road frame. Future-Proof cables allow for easy set up of internal electronic, mechanical, or hydraulic shifting and braking lines.  Increased clearance allows you to choose up to a 700x25mm tires. Stiffer, better-riding, aero as ever. And all with zero weight penalty.

For more information or to test ride an S3 stop by the shop.  We are open from 10-6 Friday and Saturday and yes the ducks are happy this weekend but next week is looking pretty nice so you want to have your bike all set up to ride when the roads dry out!

May is National Bike Month - why don't you try and commit one more bike commute to work than you did in April as a motivational tool.  Remember we have all the tools available to make your commute dry, safe, and comfortable!
