VeloNews: 2003 Tour de France Special Coverage h4. Trek aims for new heights with Madone Waterloo has been particularly tight-lipped about its latest high-end road racer, which will replace the 5900 Superlight.

Rivendell Review…
PR3. One of my favorites sites, Roadbikerider reviews a all-purpose bike calledl the Rivendell Rambouillet. I almost bought it just because I’m a Lord of the Rings fan. In any case, for $2K, you get a 22 lb bike that is indestructible. Something to think about. Doesn’t have couplers though.

iRider
a little ludwig goes a long way: iRider. Ludwig like iRider as a browser. Gary likes Firebird. I’ve tried Firebird. A nice one, but it is kind of true that I’m satificed on browsers. What more is there. Now when you ask me about PTP programs its a whole different story. Or photo management.

Why Aren't PCs Faster?

Error blog

United Airlines — Not!
united.com. Yikes, after flying with them this week, I won’t do it again for a long time. It took us hours to get out of O’Hare but the scary thing is why given that it was clear and beautiful and it wasn’t about weather, but I think about minimum maintenance and a totally demoralized workforce:…

Campy 2004 and other cool hardware
Well, the Tour de France is about to start and delightful new gear is appearing. First there is the new Shimano Durace 10-speed coming out. No word on whether they are going to do a triple, but given that it is 1/3 less than Campagnolo Record, good to hear. Also, Campy Chorus is going to…

Ritchey Break-Away
Google Groups: View Thread “Ritchey “Break-Away” bike — opinions?”. Been looking at a bunch of custom bicycles with S&S couplings. Great in the $1300-1600 for the frame plus $400 for the couplings. The Break-Away is an $1,100 frame, but what about the quality. Here are some notes from rec.bicycles.tech. Great the way google caches and…
