We’ve been keeping an eye on Quintana Roo the past few years. The company was very arguably the first dedicated triathlon specific bike company; they played a major role inventing what we now think of as the modern triathlon bike. Always based in offering high value parts for the dollar, QR has been a player…
A number of years ago, Zipp sold their carbon bicycle rims to shops so that custom wheels could be built. However, Zipp stopped this and only sold complete wheels from the factory. This meant that if you wanted a pair of Zipp rims on any other hub, you had to buy a complete wheelset and…

From a business perspective, the advent of the derailleur was a mere blip of change compared to what is happening today. While we’ll never compromise our approach (Rider First and Rider Matched) to bike…
Cervelo, Factor, Felt, Parlee, Specialized and Trek all make nice tri bikes that we carry. If a tri bike from one of these brands fits you well, we don’t have any hesitation recommending it in terms of the bike building capability of the brand. All of these brands know how to build a high quality…
