For sale: 2005 Giant TCR 2 Frame & Fork (MEDIUM). Please check out my craigslist ad for all of the details. Price is $200. Delivery to buyers in the Denver metro area. Out of state buyers pay actual...
Thanks for the link! They seem to promote the qualities I am looking for. I am just not sure about making the drive to Boulder from midtown Denver several times a week. I as hoping to find a team...
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a women's cycling club based out of the Denver metro area. I have been an avid rider for years now, training mostly on my own....
I am in Colorado, and would have to vote against a fit at Wheatridge Cycle. There may nothing particularly terrible about the way in which they perform their fits, but they push sales a bit too hard...
It seems that alot of riders use the Shimano XTR's or Crank Brothers Eggbeaters or Candy pedals. I have the Crank Bros. Candy SL, which have the same features of the Eggbeaters with a bit of...
If you find a great deal on the cross frameset of your choice, go for it. I wound up getting my conquest pro brand new on ebay for $280. After swapping out parts, and selling the Bianchi Vigorelli...
I will also weigh in on gearing. As it is a dedicated cross bike, I use a 12-27 in the back and a 38/44 up front. I also alternate between that and a single 42t ring in the front.
The only part I...
I also have the conquest pro which I built up from a frameset. It is a great bike and extremely comfortable. But I second the idea of looking around and seeing what all is out there. The new and...
If we had cat 4's I know there would be tons more women coming out to race. If there is one thing that Colorado does not lack it's women cyclists. My feeling is that alot of them are too intimidated...
I wish more races here were organized in the same way as the race that you did. Having no cat 4's for women seems to be counter productive for increasing women's participation in the sport. After...
I am new to cyclocross and have recently attempted to race. However, I am a bit confused about the classification system used at many of the ACA races here in Colorado. Often, the only categories...
In my opinion, a must have in any shop is female employees with real riding and technical experience. In the area where I live there are a ton of shops to choose from, but very few women wrenching or...
I have to second the vote for BikeSnob! His writing has never failed to make me laugh.
Here is the new craigslist link to the bike. http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/473797481.html
That is the slickest $200 frameset I have ever seen. Your bike is going to look really amazing! The combo of carbon SRAM bits, the ITM bars, red tape (my personal favorite) and white housing and...
I just completed my first dedicated cross bike, and I am running the TRP Euro X canti brakes. I am sure that my problem is not unique in that I do not have alot of stopping power. The shop that set...
For the money, my top contenders would be Campy Chorus or the Ultegra SL grouppo. Both of these groups offer many of the same features as the more expensive Record or D.A., while only having a...
I am also a smaller rider 5'4ish/110lbs. During the course of regular riding or even aggresive racing, there is not much I can do that can stress the frame to anywhere near the levels it was tested...
I recently spent a couple of months searching for the right bike myself, and I would second the idea of spending a good chunk of time test riding. I would also recommend spending the extra money to...
I am considering all reasonable offers on the bike.

The kryptonite New York u-lock seems to work really well (I still have my bike),especially in conjunction with a cable lock. It may seem like overkill, but after having the same bike stolen twice...
Ever since I caught the cyclocross bug, my apartment had been full of tools, frames,wheels...you name it! I guess the two main things I need now are funds and space, so something's got to give. Well,...
Hey all!
I just recently purchased my first cross frameset, and would like some suggestions for all round race gearing. I will be using a 12-27 9speed cassette swapped out from my Bianchi road...
Thanks! I really enjoyed this bike and hope it finds a good home very soon.
