Carbon treats
When I fired up NetNewsWire and found the 1200 unread articles I knew it was going to be a long drag. Against my better judgment I found a passion for the ‘Mark all as read’ button, that was until I got down the the cycling feeds, something caught my eye; it was carbon related goodies.
First up the new Time Trial machine from Trek, come on that just looks amazing, if your not convinced just check out those bars and that view! I’ve noticed that nearly all TT rigs this year feature a brake on the ego bars, so that you can still brake without coming up from the tuck.
The second treat was the new Look 595 frameset.
Having spent a couple of days following Rob on his 585 I have grown found of the Look carbon tubular frame. This frame improves upon the design that shot Thor into the sprints at least year’s TdF, that seat post is something else.

What type of bike would you recommend for a novice? I want ride rather than run for my cardio. Sounds like you know quite a bit about cycling.
It would totally depend on the what type of cycling you want to do and how much your willing to spend.
For general use I ride a mountain bike; robust easy to get up and down kerbs and takes most thing’s you through at it.
When training or going seriously I use a road bike.
The off roader weighs more so you work a bit harder but when on road you use different muscle groups and ride more freely.
Not sure about dealers or makes in your area but to be honest 9 out of 10 bikes come from the same factory, they just have different stickers put on them. It’s only when you start paying serious money do you get some special treatment.
