My guess? He is applying the same work ethic that made CC successful to the large bike division of backcountry.com. Patience kids, it's just a blog.

Appears Brendan Quirk is too busy driving his new Porsche, vacationing in Europe or basking in the Hawaiian sun. He's definitely NO longer part of the 99%!

I understand CC's new approach, if they wait it out it is like the post is new again!!! Man I must admit hats off on that one. That is the type of betterment we can learn to expect since the "merge". Guess I am going to have to get my kicks through slamthatstem,com

This displays the pain that is required to win the tour. Time has not changed this experience of the peloton cyclist.

Epic needs to be added to the list but you guys use it quite often. Maybe try replacing with spiffy...

How does Co-motion get lumped in with Soma, Gios and Tommassini. Co-Motions are US made, the rest are Taiwan? Also, Co-Motion has been doing steel for quite a while --- oh, yeah, that's right, their entire exisitence. What's old is new?

Co-signed from below: please add "PRO" to the stupid cliche list asap.
Umm, it was CC that was "adopted" the real cyclist team already existed. It just got a rebadge as part of the buy-out of your company. BTW- so much for the Little Rock love letters. . . It would be nice if you didn't constantly slag things you can't sell- handmade high end steel (note the super long wait lists for Vanilla and R Sachs still in place), Trek, Specialized ect. It sounds insecure in the real world. BTW- $500 for a set of Sidis? 100% stock BTW. Have they upgraded the insole from the crappy wafer thin piece yet? Or do you need to budget another $75 for a proper insole? Have they even seen what other shoes companies are selling for 50% of that?
If you are going to have an unrepentant doper on "your" squad, prepare for some mocking when you try an slag other riders.

Talk about a study of stark contrasts-- a 2 minute snippet of 2011 Interbike vs. vintage footage from the 1962 TDF. Say what you will about the "old school" (another one for your banned list)-- the riders are more recognizable without their being hidden by helmets and sunglasses and it is far easier to make out the sponsors names on those simple yet effective jersey designs. Also, maybe it's just the passage of time and/or the mental adaptation of so many years of hideous design, but those examples of "neon" just don't seem nearly as hideous as those from the past. (Although whoever paired the neon yellow hoods with white tape and black levers should be made to ride a soggy 100K in a pair of shorts from 1962).

Near universal use of "Honey Badger "??

PS: I believe this column has jumped the shark, as it were. Hopefully, that is an acceptable term to use. If not, I do not really care

maybe you should add a few things to your banned list like Operation Puerto, and Rock Racing. But I guess that would mean your team needs a new captain.

Still haven't seen "PRO" as a banned adjective. Is that coming soon, or is it too close to home?
Also, neon isn't back. It never left!
Finally, Quebec deserves a place as a neo-classic. Fantastic city. Fantastic race.

Absolutely loved the video. After the neon fades, how about purple, like Poulidor?

Glad you came up North. The weather was awesome this year and the crowds were a little bigger. The 11-25's strapped on Montreal either gave an indication of how hard that hill was or how insignificant UCI point races are after the big ones. Hope you return in 2012 for the poutine and strong beer eh!

Best part of that video: No idiots in costume running next to the riders. Common sense.

I love neon! Neon says "Look at me! I'm a living being on a bike. Do not run over me with your car."
