Team Rides

I've been saying... I want to put the team bikes up for while now and now is as good a time as any. I'm gonna start it off with my personal mob only because I'm the easiest guy I know to get in touch with. So without further ado...

personal touches... I cut my bars .75" on each side... shorten my travel to 60mm with 150 psi.

I'm currently exploring the possibility of producing a run of chrome frames... any takers?

Who? What??? Me? The cover of Dirt? Hell yeah!!!

I just got my hands on the June issue of Dirt Magazine from the UK and guess who the coverboy is... yup, me. I'm so stoked!!! This is my 2nd cover on Dirt and taste twice as sweet. I'm very thankful for the coverage. I've known about this for almost a month but wanted to wait until I could finally get a copy and check it out. Inside are a few good photos of Kovarik and the rest of the Chain Reaction Cycles team from their trip to So. Cal. Get to a Barnes & Noble and check out dirt... look at the size of the field at the local four cross race... the American race scene needs help!
