The new Kinesis TK3 – King of the affordable winter bikes?
I’m a big fan of the UK’s Kinesis bikes and in fact had a proper love affair (or was it more of a fling thanks to the limited time we spent together?) with the Granfondo Ti or GF_Ti early in 2012 ( http://girodilento.com/first-ride-kinesis-gf_ti/ & http://girodilento.com/further-thoughts-kinesis-gf-ti).

How can you not love the motto: Stoemper are about to launch some new road bikes Stoepid […]
First look: Reynolds Forty Six Carbon Clincher aero wheels
Something that’s really stood out to me in watching the beginning of this season’s pro-cycling coverage is how many team bikes are now running 40mm+ deep section aero wheels on every stage – even those with a lot of climbing. Seriously, take a look at any pro road race going on and check it out […]
