We're offering two colors in the Long Haul Trucker framesets this year to replace the Sage Green color. The new colors are Utility Blue and Black Cherry Pearl.

This specific color of paint has been a pain in the ass to work with and it looks like we may only get one or two production runs out of it. We do not yet have ETAs on this Black Cherry color and once they are gone,…

Frostbike, the QBP open house thing, is in full swing, complete with a Tyr tri clothing fashion show. What? In spite of that, and in spite of the colder-than-a-witch's-tittie-in-a-brass-bra climate which descended upon our fair city one day before the event (from upper twenties to 10 below zero in a couple of days), everybody seems to be having a good time.
