Hi. I have a Trek Madone 5.9SL all Dura Ace components and I'm looking for a
book/manual or web site that has repair/ maintenance info on this specific

I want to buy a tandem but I keep calling bike shops in the San
Gabriel Valley, and no one has what I want.  Everyone can offer me a

I'm mostly a Toronto-local road rider; I prefer longer 150+ km rides

sproket cluster in back going from 12 to 25.  I want more climbing
geers and wonder how to do it.  Should I simply go to a 42 36 chain

(Hey, this is getting political, but anyway the solution lies in
politics)
This is a statement I put in my webpage. I saw it all from the inside,

I know that Sacramento County has a minimum bike lane width of 5' but
