Analysis time. What happened to Andy...
Black Mountain Cycles &bull Jul 21, 2010
Truth be told, I haven't really followed this year's Tour de France. I'm still interested, but not overly interested. I do like to give the day's stage a glance at and I'm especially interested in the tour bikes and how they are set up. However, even that doesn't seem to be of much interest because they are all pretty much the same, but with… Full Story »

Black Mountain Cycles frame pre-order special...
Black Mountain Cycles &bull Jun 28, 2010
After much too long, my frames are going to happen. I got word that the frame maker has tubing and that they will (should) have frames finished by the end of July. Then they have to go for paint and decals, get boxed up and consolidated in an ocean container. I'm thinking that sometime around… Full Story »

A set of wheels ready for any occasion...
Black Mountain Cycles &bull Jun 25, 2010
Maybe a set of wheels MacGyver would ride? This is the kind of wheel that needs to be under 95% of the road riders out there. The kind of wheel that can go anywhere, do anything. It's got enough spokes.… Full Story »
