Welcome

Welcome to www.TheBikeExpress.com. Happy New Year. As we put 2011 into the books. We'd like to thank all our friends and customers. You are what keeps us here. As we look ahead to all that 2012 has to offer we hope that you will see it as we do. On two wheels..

 

Finally the long awaited Ultegra Electronic systems are finally here. New simplified wiring and affordable precision shifting. The shifters can be connected to your PC for diagnosis or re-programming of the shifter controls. We'll see if Shimano thought ahead enough to be able to re-program it for eleven speed.

What we're riding

GiantP-SLR1 Wheelset. For 2012 Giant Bicycles has partnered with DT Swiss to offer three complete wheel packages. The SLR-1 is the lightest of the three. While many will scoff at the fact that Giant has bothered to enter the wheel market at all. The fact is that these are a well built, light weight quality set of wheels. The name isn't enough to turn heads and open pockets for those looking to replace their current hoops. But if you take home a Giant Road bike with these on it, there would be no reason to bother upgrading.

• Ultra-light 21mm deep Scandium alloy rims, welded
• 21mm wide rim for better tire and aerodynamic performance
• CNC-machined braking surface
• Asymmetric rear rim design for increased lateral rigidity and more uniform spoke tension for a stronger, stiffer wheel
• Aerolite bladed stainless steel spokes — 16 front (radial), 20 rear (radial/2-cross)
• Locking alloy nipples
• Swiss hub internals
• Precision-sealed cartridge hub bearings
• Single-handed wheel release design
• Tubeless ready rim design
• 1390 grams/pair

 

What we're listening to.

Straight up Memphis Rock. Put your brain aside grab a cold one, or better yet hit the indoor trainer.

What we're eating.

 

Le Fleur des Monts, is an uncooked pressed cheese - aged for up to 9 months.The sheep milk cheeses made in the French Pyrenees were its inspiration and it is this heritage that lends it so much character. Le Fleur des Monts is typically aged from 3 to 6 months.

Whether consumed young or aged, Le Fleur des Monts tickles the palate with its delicate flavor and hint of almonds.

Once in a while when things are just right. Hands forward, head down, flying over the ground......you feel like superman.
