My good friend J.D. brought back a saddle for me from Nepal. It looks pretty great on my Madone, don’tcha think?

We apologize for the lack of posts. Well, to be honest we’re not really sorry. It’s been a busy few weeks for us and we’ve had our hands full.

We picked up a few cool things this week.

And finally we present the Trek 7.9FX – the smartest fitness bike in the biz.
