Hey Marve,

I have a couple friends that help pay for your teener parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


That mtb prototype looks much lighter than most of your bikes. Is it?

No not lighter than most, it looks a lil strange because it has 29" wheels, and its a single speed, no derailleurs. The new Sept 2006 Mountain Bike Action magzine has a test on it called: Intense re-defines big wheels

I've never ridden a big tired bike (29") what are the bene's?

Marv, I've seen your stuff around, very cool! I had no idea that you owned that. I'm very jealous!

Do you guys have any white carbon 1" riser bars? I've been looking and can't find any.

I wish George, Popo, and Ace were doing better in the Tour this year but that's okay. Landis will wear yellow for the US! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)


Well since Ulrich and Vino are out I am glad to see Landis winning. He looked awesome in 2004 and I'm kinda gathering from the coverage that he got on a very strict program to get where he is. He had a very good spring season.

Hincape always falls apart when the pressure is put on.

I would like to see Hencapie do better also, he deserves it.

I ride 200-250 miles a week, took this season off of racing due to the 914 and family issues. It is a passion.

Specialized Tarmac pro(10,000 miles in 18 months) sweet ride
Leader TT bike
Giant NRS, front and rear disc
Ritchey plexus hard tail
2 Ritchey road logics

Anyone in the area want to go on a 70mile road ride an Sat.??

Dude, that's not cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) some of us avoid all press to watch OLN when we get home.

When I moved to Tahoe in 84' I sold my Gios Torino. The roads and visting drivers are not very road bike friendly. Thankfully the dirt and single track are abundant and some of the best in the west.
I now own an 02' Rocky Mountain Edge. One of the funnest things to go fast on!

Sorry if I spoiled it for someone...I just watched a fresh repeat on OLN this morning and couldn't believe how the Phonak team blew apart. There was simply no one around to help Landis...

Lots of bene's there are websites that are 29" specific, just Google to find out more.

this show's how strong Lance was, even being isolated from the team he was able to cover and counter all attacks. Man! he was great to watch!

Lance was an inspiration to millions of people including myself. You're right, he would have covered himself despite having no team help. It really does prove how superhuman he was (IS).
