Today, Richard Nieuwhuis runs this haute couture tire company in Denekamp, NED and supplies both amateurs and professionals with some of the finest tubular tires in the world.

Contrary to popular belief, Dugast tires are actually affordable.   We stock three Dugast tubular tires, all in 32mm width.   We have a great supply of tires that will quickly disappear as the season draws near.

• Typhoon: The classic standard for cyclocross racing.    You’ll find American and European Professionals racing this tire all day long.   Estimated weight for 32mm=380 grams

• Rhino: This is an aggressive mud tire, best suited when the rain sets in.   US Cyclocross National Champion Tim Johnson rode these tires to victory in Bend, OR last year, and some say this tire choice (over Typhoons) gave him an edge.   Estimated weight for 32mm=395 grams

• Pipistrello:  This tire excels on courses that are dry and fast.   This tire also does really well on icy surfaces.  Estimated weight for 32mm=352 grams

4-person Under 50: Team Bandwidth.com, Sean Matt, 6 days, 3 hours, 9 minutes
8-person: Team Type 1, Jeff Bannink, 5 days, 10 hours, 48 minutes

We worked with Jeff on his custom Seven Cycles Axiom S time trial machine, and with Sean on his Nite Rider lighting system for both A and B bikes.   This is Jeff’s second victory racing on Type 1’s 8-person team, and Sean’s first victory in as many attempts.    Very big congratulations to both Sean and Jeff.

Cascade Bicycle Studio, in conjunction with Seven Cycles and Lexington, MA-based Ride Studio Cafe, are pleased to offer the limited edition Seven Cycles Plan de Corones Giro d’Italia bicycle.

This bicycle pays homage to the 16th Stage of the 2010 Giro d’Italia, the individual time trial to the top of Plan de Corones.

The bike gives a nod to what may be the most difficult stage in this year’s Giro, and features specially-painted pink Campagnolo Record hubs, the entire 16th Stage route map painted on the fork legs, a nearly all-Italian parts pick, with Ambrosio Nemesis tubular wheels.

Only 21 bicycles sold will be offered between now and June 30th, 2010, and will be exclusively sold at Cascade Bicycle Studio and Ride Studio Cafe.

This spring Mavic introduced two new lightweight clincher wheelsets.   Read about CBS’s take here.

That said, what’s NOT included on the Edge 500 (mapping and color screen) make this computer way more like a bike-specific computer, and way less of a hiking, biking, adventure piece.

It’s understandable that you may want to try the Edge 500 before making a purchase.   Stop by CBS for a no-charge rental of an Edge 500 for the weekend, and see if the Edge 500 works for you.

In addition the to Edge 500, we also have the Premium HR strap and speed/cadence sensor in stock.

In 2010, Lazer Helmets began shipping their highly sought after Helium helmet.  The Helium was designed to be lighter weight than the Lazer Genesis, featuring lighter straps and hardware, lighter dual-density foam, while still utilizing the Rollsys retension system.  Here at CBS, we were fortunate to get a healthy supply of both the matte black and timeless white Helium helmets and they are in stock now.

Recently, Lazer Helmet Honch CS stopped by and unlocked the key to the super limited edition Lazer Helium Warrior Collection, which is now on display at CBS.  The Warrior collection features graphics and colorway nods to Italian, Belgian, and Russian warriors.  Yes, it’s a little Euro, but not too much!

First person to stop by and see the collection receives a Lazer LTD gift and special pricing on in-stock Helium helmets.
