while i’m at it today i might as well finish up the tour stuff with the legendary colnago, sponsors of teams rabobank and milram. rabobank is a pretty old team and has been around, under various names, since 1984. they were very impressive in the tour with denis menchov finishing fourth overall and óscar freire [...]
tour de france – time

almost done here, time are another big boy who sponsor two teams: cofidis and bouygues télécom. time is pretty well known for its carbon frame technology and i would say that they are so dedicated to technological innovation that there is almost zero romance surrounding their bikes. these are racing machines pure and simple. you [...]
tour de france – specialized

ok, starting to finally finish this up with the big boys who sponsor more then one team. i don’t know why, but i just can never get into specialized…i owned one for ten years, i tested out the allez trip and it was awesome…but still, something is just not that interesting to me (probably that [...]
tour de france – look

what can you say about look, they were a small french ski equipment company that turned its attention to bicycles, now they make super light (and pricey) frames, and they really popularized clipless pedals. during the tour they sponsored team crédit agricole, whose most recognizable rider is definitely thor hushovd. when i was looking for [...]
tour de france – ridley

again, better late then never or something. i find that ridleys can be kinda weird looking most of the time, but they have a fantastic reputation. ridley is a fairly young company being founded in 1990 and i don’t think they’re too well known outside of belgium and its neighbors. they sponsor team silence-lotto, which [...]
tour de france – kuota
Posted in bikes, tagged bikes, kuota, tour de france on July 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
kuota are another one of those companies i’m pretty sure i’ve never heard of before the tor this year and they seam pretty small. somewhat fittingly they sponsor the tiny team agritubel that just sort of quietly goes about their business every day. agritubel’s sponsor is a farm equipment manufacturer too, so the whole thing [...]
tour de france – cervélo
Posted in bikes, tagged bikes, cervélo, tour de france on July 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
cervélo is one of the most hardcore bike companies around. they are all about the science of a good ride and really obsess about aerodynamics and engineering and, not surprisingly started out making nothing but time trial bikes. this little canadian company sponsors the danish team csc saxo bank on the tour, which has probably [...]
tour de france – felt

felt bikes are pretty much awesome looking and have a great rep. in the tour they are being ridden by the solid team garmin-chipotle. from what i’ve seen felts are also super reasonably priced. in the tour garmin-chipotle’s star is undoubtedly american christian vande velde (currently riding 3rd overall), so if your a yay america [...]
