Specialized 2010 Stumpjumper Mountain Bike Video You Will Watch Over and Over

This video is so fascinating to watch, because you get to see the front fork suspension in action.  It is amazing to see how it totally absorbs everything the road can throw at it.  This is double fun because it is taken in winter in the snow.  Check it out.



Then check out everything else at this blog site about the Stumpjumper.

Nominated Best Road Race Bike for 2010 - Trek Madone 6.9

  Bicycling Magazine has announced its Road Bike best of class for 2010. Here's their review of the Trek Madone.

RACE ROAD:
Trek Madone 6.9 $8,305


Perhaps the most recognized race bike in the world, Trek has continued to revamp the Madone into one of the best-performing race bikes as well. It's light, very well outfitted right off the showroom floor (including deep dish carbon clincher wheels) and praised by testers as a fantastic climbing machine as well as for its excellent vibration damping qualities through the OCLV2 carbon frame.
Testers Said:
  • The ride feel of the Madone is superb, very smooth yet feels connected to the road.

  • It's a subtle speed that maximizes comfort and agility all in one. The Madone is a very fun bike to ride.

  • It's one of those rare can't-go-wrong purchases for anyone on the fence about what is the best race bike for his or her own particular style.

  • Trek 1.5 Nominated by Bicycling - See it, Ride it at Montrose Bike Shop

    See What Bicycling Magazine had to say about this bike.  It is a winner and you will see why when you test ride at Montrose Bike

    "ENTRY-LEVEL ROAD:
    Trek 1.5 $1100


    Last year's winner returns to defend its crown. The price remains the same, but the shifters have been upgraded to Shimano Tiagra, which allow shifting from the drops and the hoods. (Sora shifters, spec'd on last years 1.5, may only be shifted from the hoods.)
    Testers said:
  • It felt sturdy through the bottom bracket under climbing and accelerating pedaling forces.

  • Whether it's the power of economy of scale, or years of trickle-down, this bike performs way beyond its price point.

  • Very stable, confident descender."
