One way to beat the early onset winter blahs is to check out the cool new bikes for 2012 and get excited for next season. To help this along we’ve gotten in a number of awesome bikes that are drool worthy and as good as Vitamin D in battling the effects of seasonal affected disorder.

Eye candy that can be your road candy for Canadian

Here is a list of the hotrods we’ve just gotten in.

• Guru Photon Road Frameset
• Argon 18 Gallium with Ultegra DI2 (that’s electronic shifting)
• Guru Evolo R Road Frameset
• Argon 18 E-112 Triathlon Bike
• Guru Cr.901 Triathlon Frameset
• Argon 18 Krypton with Shimano 105
• Guru Cr.701 Triathlon Frameset
• Argon 18 Radon

Drop by the Kitchener and Cambridge stores to see the newest gear in the flesh. Get a jump on next season and say good bye to the blahs.

When looking for a bike that will actually make you faster on the triathlon or time trial course look no further than the Argon 18 E-118.  There is so much going on with this bike to cut through the wind that it boggles the mind.

• UCI legal frame that has been shaped and tweaked to slide like butter through the wind while still handling well.
• Aero fork with external steerer tube to further improve the aerodynamic profile.
• Integrated aero bar, base bar and stem. Because it all works together you get tunable fit with optimized aerodynamics.
• 3D head tube allowing for the stack height to be tuned to the rider without sacrificing strength and safety.
• Custom  aerobrakes that are easy to adjust ( doesn’t seem like a big deal until you have to adjust the brakes on an tri bike. Most are a nightmare to adjust and don’t work very well.)

Local boy and Spidertech pro, Ryan Roth won the Univest Grand Prix by out sprinting his 2 breakaway companions.  Read the full story on Velonews.

Roth who will be one of the leaders of Spidertech next season powered his Argon 18 Gallium Pro to take victory in what will probably be his last race of the year.

Ryan Roth, of Team Spidertech powered by C10, finished 10th in the 8.3 km prologue of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado yesterday within a couple of seconds of Tour de France winner Cadel Evans.  Roth was born in Kitchener and lives in Cambridge so we’ve got a hometown boy to cheer for who is beating world class racers you’ve seen in the Tour.  A couple of years ago he was winning the Ontario Provincials and now he’s racing against and beating some of the best in the world.

Riding the Argon 18 E-114 he started early when wind conditions favoured a fast time.

Hey everyone,

It has been a long and rainy week, and I have not been able to enjoy as many rides as I normally do. This has allowed me to further appreciate my morning commutes into the shop and made me analyze the many different styles of bikes available and the different applications they are designed for.

In this post, I hope to identify and distinguish between the different bikes that are available and the applications and riding styles for which they are designed. This can be significant when looking at purchasing a bike or when determining if the bike you have is the correct one for you. Read More …

Hey all,

So my new Argon 18 is steering me in the wrong direction.  It’s making road riding fun again.  After several posts of how I prefer the trails to the open roads, now I find myself on  road rides of increasing frequency and having second thoughts about my cycling direction in life. Read More …

Well I had my new Argon 18 Radon road bike outside, pavement bound, for the first time this season and initial reaction was a big grin.

It was great to finally get off the trainer and get some fresh air and sunshine.  Read More …
