Zoncolan, 4 days, 162 miles Last week I got the new Selle San Marco Zoncolan to ride and review and I have been dutifully putting it through the motions since. I have been on three long rides and several 20 milers now and I must say it is better than I first expected. Here is my 150 mile update: | Click here to read more 2008-07-28 21:30:59
Free Bike Schwag!! Today was a big day for me at Main Street Bikes as it marked the arrival of my first piece of free bike schwag (or swag, whichever you prefer). Sure, I have gotten tons of stickers, posters, supplement samples and so forth, but i ahve been looking forward to the day when some big company sends me a real, live piece of free stuff that I can put to use on my bike. The schwag in question is a free demo of the all new Selle San Marco Zoncolan, named after a ridiculously large and steep mountain in Italy. The Zoncolan currently rests beneath the tush of current tour contender Cadel Evans. In exchange for the free saddle, I have to test it out for a few weeks and fill out a short survey. Along the way, I plan to post updates as to how it is. | End of text. 2008-07-24 07:09:06

It's a Hardknock life. While I try to stick to human powered vehicles, sometime time and distance do not allow a bicycle as one's mode of transport. As of today, Main Street Bikes is Shelbyville's official Hardknock dealer. Hardknocks are bobber style mini bikes that are streetable, fast, and get 75mpg! The DIY crowd can get one of these unassembled for 1500 dollars, or for a limited time, you can get yours assembled starting at 1800. If you are on a budget, we have interest free financing available through GE moneysport. You can get a fully assembled Hardknock for just 150 a month. That is less than five dollars a day. Check out the Hardknock at http://www.kikker5150.com/hardknock.html | End of text. 2008-03-20 14:40:03
The Full Lynskey Western Kentucky University was kind enough to grant me an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design about 10 years ago. That worked out so well that I returned in 2005 to get a Masters of Arts in Folk studies. During my 6 years of study in seemingly unrelated topics, there was much discussion about the nature, and definition, of art. Several thousand dollars of student loans later, I am still lacking in a decent, working definition. As arbitrary as art may be, I believe I have truly experienced it twice in my life. Once when I purchased an F-Style Mandolin from Jimmy Robertson in Metcalf County. Jimmy has made a number of mandolins, and when asked how he started he would always reply, "I went out to the woods, chopped down a tree, and carved away everything that didn't look like a mandolin." Jimmy's humility is apparent when you see one of his instruments in person. My second first-hand experience with art came this Tuesday, as I assembled a painted Lynskey R420 road bike, with full Dura Ace and Fulcrum 3's. Words cannot do this bike justice. I have seen and ridden a lot of high end carbon, and while they are wonderful bikes, carbon frames always have a certain manufactured quality that leaves their appearance somewhat lacking. On the other hand, Lynskey's meticulous welds and perfect finish shine, and speak of a maker obsessed with perfection. This bike is truly a work of art. While I hate to think of parting with such a beauty, it is for sale. The price on this complete bike in M/L size is little more than the regular cost of a painted frame and fork. | End of text. 2008-03-20 14:30:30
The Lynskey has landed Main Street Bikes is officially a Lynskey dealer now and Thursday marked the first arrival. Now in stock is a M/L R220 road frame and fork in a gorgeous brushed titanium finish. These retail for 2650. If you are in the market, we would be happy to talk kits and build this baby up with Shimano, SRAM, Campy or whatever your heart so desires. Pictures to come. | End of text. 2008-03-14 21:10:39
Who needs gears Tired of messing with derailleurs? Miss the simplicity of that first bike you had as a kid? Try a fixed gear or a single speed. Going to one gear not only helps keep down the maintenance headaches, it is also a great way to keep your legs honest. Fixed gears are known for being off season trainers for lots of roadies. The constant spinning really irons out weak spots on your cadence and forces you to put more power into the hills. Come check out the Jamis Sputnik at Main Street Bikes. The sputnik is a light weight city fixed gear ready for commuting or training. Its steel frame and easton carbon fork make a buttery smooth ride. For the off roaders we have an Exile SS from Jamis. The SS is equipped with Hayes Disc brakes and a Manitou Relic fork for the rough stuff. This Exile was lightly demoed, so you can pick it up at a bargain price. | End of text. 2008-02-01 13:11:37
Club news update For those of you who marked this Sunday down for the initial Shelbyville cycling group meeting, then you, like me, were completely unaware of this sporting event which will be held in a closed arena somewhere in the US and feature two football clubs of different cities. Apparently, many people set this date aside to drink heavily and watch the event on something called a "big screen". while, I don't understand this Super Bowl thing, I have decided to move the meeting to February 9th so that those of you who plan to watch can get your nacho on. Anyway, the meeting to discuss Shelbyville's riding club, events, schedules, and advocacy will be at the coffee shop on February 9th at 5:30 PM. | End of text. 2008-01-28 20:38:26 |
