Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Seeing as how Rock Racing currently races on Kestrels, which is part of advanced sports, and mentioned that advanced sports had a role in designing it, I'm guessing that these are going to be something like Kestrel RT900s with a sassy in your face paint job.

Oh well........I did a search by post date before I posted....guess I missed it. I am sure others missed it as well. Consider this a public service announcement for the Flash in the pan bike company.

These frames are built with a secret opening to store your prescription medicine.

i like the way people say things like "they are making bikes now". anyone can "make" bikes. just buy them from giant, stick your label on and voila.

He shouldn't have any problem finding a frame builder. He can go to the factory next door to his jeans manufacturer in China and get it done. In fact, the same fabric workers that cut and stitch his jeans can do the cf layup.

He'll also set a huge price margin on the bikes so that buyers think they are getting something special because it has that neo-gothic/demonic crap all over it. Look for photos of trendy, hot entertainment types to be "caught" riding one of his rigs.

let's say for argument's sake, the bike is the same as a fuji, made by the same manufacturer of fuji bikes. how much cooler will this bike be because it is called rock racing?
