My Review of the Specialized Romin Saddle. In my quest to find the perfect road saddle for my Trek Madone 5.2, I came across the Specialized Romin Comp Gel Seat, a Body Geometry Saddle.

My “Specialized Phenom Saddle Review”. I recently purchased a Phenom Specialized Body Geometry Saddle to replace the stock seat on my Trek Ion CX. The factory saddle recently became scuffed and bent up during a bad bicycling accident. I wanted a replacement that was lightweight, similar in design, and open throughout the center section of …
My “Bontrager T2 700X28C Road Tire Review”: Wanting better rubber for both pavement and packed limestone riding, I stumbled upon the Bontrager T2 700x28C Road Tire, and just had to order up a set to try on my Trek Cyclocross bicycle.

My Topeak Road Morph G Pump Review. I bought this bicycle pump because I was tired of being stranded using a small bicycle pump with a capacity not much larger than a sharpie marker. In the unfortunate event that I do encounter a flat, I want to be able to repair it and continue riding, rather …
My Profile Design T2+ Aerobar Review. I recently purchased a set of Aerobars for my Trek Madone 5.2 Bicycle. I love the Aerodynamic look and stance of “TT” Time Trial Bikes, and would love to own one. But wasn’t sure if I could handle the Aero position. Hence, decided to purchase a set of decent …
My Michelin Pro 3 Race Tire Review: Earlier this late Spring or early Summer I switched from using Bontrager R3 700x23c tires to these “Michelin Pro 3 Race service course 700x23c” road tires on my Trek Madone 5.2 Road Bicycle. After having put about 800 miles on them, I feel qualified to say that I …
My Garmin Edge 800 Review: I recently decided to splurge and purchase a touchscreen Garmin Edge 800 GPS Cycling Computer. A rider in our local bicycling club was already using a Garmin Edge 500.
