Photo: Trek's 3 Series is the third up in its seven-model road bike range.

Photo: the new bike is said to be the tallest bicycle in the world..

Photo: Sven Nys is the one most bike manufacturers want. Trek Bicycle landed him. photo: Cross Vegas 2013. © Cyclocross Magazine.
There is no bigger name in cyclocross than Sven Nys. Nys has dominated professional cyclocross since he won his first Superprestige series in 1999. (cxmagazine.com)





Photo: we anticipate that this may end up being billed as a CX-specific model that may not even use the XTR designation.
While the bike itself is newsworthy, what also stood out was a pair of prototype Shimano pedals on Nys's machine. (bikeradar.com)





Photo: Ivan Santaromita shows off his new Orica-GreenEdge Italian national champion's jersey.
The New Year marks the official start of the 2014 season in the professional peloton, with riders and teams finally able to show off their new team kit, bikes and sponsors. (cyclingnews.com)





Photo: we’re seeing listings from 23 states for brands like Look, Pinarello, Orbea, Cannondale, Cervelo, Scott, Colnago, Felt, Niner and more.
The site will let riders like you and I search a global inventory of new/old stock and get a deal on new bikes that just didn’t sell before the latest and greatest diverted eyeballs from them. (bikerumor.com)

"The irony is that it didn't help, because this year I had the worst results of my life." (cyclingnews.com)





Photo: The month started with Belgian Jan Bakelants in yellow before passing the reins over to South African Daryl Impey, who became the first African rider in history to lead the Tour de France.
In part two of his year review, Blazin' Saddles looks at July through to December. (uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)





Photo: Our on-the-road experience suggests that even 42 mm-wide tires do not roll slower than 25 mm tires.
It’s now a well-established fact that wider tires roll faster than narrow ones. Professional racers now use 25 mm tires, which are 20% wider than the tires that most racers used just 20 years ago. (janheine.wordpress.com)

After more than a decade on Colnago cyclocross bikes, Sven Nys made the official swap to Trek on Wednesday, riding the new Boone in his home race at the G.P. Sven Nys in Baal, Belgium. (velonews.com)
