New FBC site is up


"Would you like some air on that, sir?"
Fit Bikes do dirt ramps in France with Chase Hawk and Justin Inman.


The new Fit Bike Co site is finally up & running, stacked full of Fit Team rider profiles, full parts catalogue, cool tees, sweats and hats, neat photography... you name it.

You can post up pics of your build to the riders bikes section at FBC Trust. Don't have one yet? Get yours here, or just rate the dozens already there. Best of all, you get to view their latest vids as they come out in all their insane glory.

Half blog & half website, it's been updated almost daily since its launch last week. Recommended.

Wacky saddle

This just popped up via The Scotsman. At first glance it looks like a joke, then its pure genius starts to dawn on you...

They're a creative bunch, the Scots, and even though their claims to inventing the rear-wheel-drive bicycle might be a bit dodgy, this one is very much for real and about to go into production after eight years' development.

Edinburgh-based Manta Design (slogan: No Fear for the Rear) reckon that once you try it your conventional saddle is the one that feels weird...

AND HE DOES IT AGAIN

Cavendish does it again, 2 stage wins 2 days in a row, pipping Boonen yet again, right on the line. This now puts him in the green jersey position. He dominates!! ..oh, ....Lance is still 4th

Go Mark Go !!!!

At last Mark Cavendish pulled it out the bag yesterday with a stage win in the tour of california. Boonen came a close second in what was literally a mass sprint for the line, with 100 riders sharing the same time of 4.42'38''. Armstrong came in strong and moved up the rankings to 4th...30 seconds behind the leader Levi Leipheimer.

Livestrong for your head

Just to continue the ''Lance is Back'' theme, Giro are releasing 4 ltd edition livestrong helmets.
Cool looking helmets ! and a percentage of the profit goes to the Livestrong Foundation. a worthy cause i'm sure you will all agree.
Breaking news as we speak is that 4 of the Astana team time trial bikes have been stolen from the team van during the tour of california, including Lance's. Good job they don't need them for the rest of the tour.......keep an eye on ebay!!
