Selle Italia Launches 63g Carbon SLR C59
Saddle.
"As
someone who has ridden a carbon-only saddle for more than 15 years now,
I can attest to the validity of its comfort – with the caveat of
course, that it’s not everyone.
Having said that, it’s nice to see that certain companies such as Selle Italia recognize this, and continue to push the boundaries of carbon saddle development. " (capovelo.com) September

Diamondback Unveils Radical New Andean Time
Trial/Triathlon Bike.
"Diamondback
unveiled details of its new Time Trial/Triathlon bike called the Andean
today, which by all accounts qualifies as one of the more, if not most,
sophisticated looking bikes of its kind to date. Indeed, claiming to be
the “the fastest TT/Triathlon bike in the world”, the Andean looks more

Book Review: Triumphs and Turbulence.
"Confession
time. There’s a conveyor belt of books about British cycling and when
this came out during the summer it wasn’t a pressing read. Boardman’s
enjoyed an impressive career but the story of track and time trial
rider famous for his calculating ways didn’t appeal at first. Surely
rival Graham Obree’s story is the more interesting? Add to this the
fact that Boardman comes across as dryer than an indoor velodrome and
this wasn’t a pressing read. Was it worth waiting for?" (inrng.com)

VYNL Road frame review: Aluminum, better than
ever?
"Aluminum
is in the midst of a comeback, even among some major bike brands.
Recent advances in metallurgy and processing has made modern aluminum
more reliable than ever, and it’s still a more economical
high-performance option than carbon fiber or titanium. Numerous studies
have demonstrated that aluminum’s modest weight penalty over a
composite frame doesn’t have as significant a negative impact as once
thought, either."
