Tunnel time for Yoder, Dibens

Andrew Yoder and Julie Dibens spent the day in the A2 Wind Tunnel in Mooresville, NC with folks from bike sponsor Trek and bike fitting system Retul. Slowtwitch was there to check it out.

A picture tour of ABG

On a recent trip through Chattanooga, TN we managed to get a look inside the American Bicycle Group and managed to snap a few images of the people there and some of the ongoing projects.

Andy Potts wind tunnel time

With the 2011 racing season almost upon us, Andy Potts traveled to the A2 wind tunnel in Mooresville, NC to get checked out and dialed on his new Kestrel 4000.

Transition Expert (2011)

This is the sweet spot in the Specialized Transition line-up. Were I a dealer selling Specialized, I've had ordered pallet after pallet of this model. If a Transition is in your future, get it soon, while the getting's good.

The Scott Plasma 3 build

The current bike build project is the highly anticipated Scott Plasma 3 and the initial setup of this bike is done. Enjoy this Scott Plasma 3 gallery.

Quintana Roo CD0.1 (2011)

The CD0.1 has a unique narrative. Clever, really. An asymmetric down tube that moves air from the drive side of the bike to the left side, with a smartly-spec'd midrange kit at $3300 for a complete bike.

Kestrel 4000 Ult (2011)

If a Cervelo P3 and a Kestrel Airfoil Pro mated and had a baby, it would be the 4000. It is, stylistically, a fair representation of the heritage of high style that has distinguished the Kestrel brand.

Felt B2 (2011)

Felt correctly understands a trend and a truth the rest of the bike industry is slower to grasp: The more the price of a complete tri bike exceeds $5000, the more Di2 elbows its way to the forefront of the discussion.

Blue Triad EX (2011)

This was essentially Andreas Raelert's bike for the 09 Ironman. Except for the aerobar and stem, this version of the EX has the best parts spec of any tri bike made by any company for 2011. And the aerobar is okay too.

Cervelo P3 Ultegra (2011)

Cervelo is to tri what Colnago is to road: a storied headbadge with a tradition and a caché unmatched by any bike brand. But the cycling world is catching up, or has caught up. How does the P3 fare in 2011?

Felt B12 (2011)

Like the resuscitated Dodge Challengers and Chargers, and Ford's Mustang, the mid-price, $3500 Felt B12 is reminiscent of muscle cars of the 1970s. It's all go and no show (well, there's a little bit of show).
