What do you get when you combine the quickness and agility of Anthem X with the control and stability of 29-inch wheels? You get this, the bike that has won the hearts of XC speed freaks and trail enthusiasts everywhere. Developed with Giant pro riders, it features a lightweight ALUXX SL frameset with Maestro Suspension, both optimized for larger-diameter wheels. The frame is designed with Giant’s OverDrive 2 steerer tube for pinpoint steering precision and PowerCore bottom bracket for maximum power transfer.

Why Cycling Kicks A__!

If I could summarize why cycling is such a great sport, I’d say look at this icon of the sport for answers. In what other sport can you win the National TT Title at AGE 51? With cycling, you get out of it what you put into it….

Jeannie Longo won her 57th national title at the French national championships on Thursday, decisively winning the women’s time trial event for the third successive year. The 51-year-old Longo covered the 24.7-kilometer course in Chantonnay a full 1:19 faster than two-time national champion Edwige Pitel, 43. Former national road champion Christel Ferrier-Bruneau, 30, finished third at 1:45.

This story plays out for me every spring when we go to Naples, FL and I ride in the daily 7:00 AM hammerfest. I consistently have my arse handed to me by guys who are 20years my elder. AWESOME!!!

The big picture here? Keep riding!!

Something old and something new…

Everyone knows that we here at Cyclesmith love our Bianchi’s… We ride them… work on them… some of us even have celeste green blood running through our veins. If you are one of us, you might need to sit down because these pictures I am about to show might take your breath away….

Something new….

New for 2011 The Oltre (see more pics at Italian Cycling Journal) comes with Campy Super Record. Just knowing that she is out there and some day soon she will be mine makes this moment one of the happiest of my life! The joy of Bianchi ownership!!

Something old…

A 1964 Bianchi Pista… the essence of cycling. No gears or brakes, straight up steel, just you, the bike, the road!! Just knowing that she is out there and will probably never be mine makes this moment one of the saddest days of my life! The envy of someone elses Bianchi ownership!

If you own a Bianchi this post makes sense… If you don’t own a Bianchi come down to the shop and ride one…. and then you will.
