    Fishy Could be the case. It is the time of year where UPS and FedEx trucks are followed so that parcels can be picked from porches. I'd like to think this sale is legit, but it is odd. The person who buys a Cruzbike has probably spent time on the site and ordered it because he or she really...

    Version 1 Vendetta That's what I'm talking about...I'd love to get my hands on an original Vendetta. I love the look of the angular frame.

    Let the V20 build begin

    On Polished Aluminum $60 is a banging deal for a strip and polish! I have owned a Cannondale that was a bare polished finish, and while it was a beauty, it would quickly become dull with use. Clearcoat preserves the surface like we've seen with the previous Vendetta's fork, but not everyone...
