ORBEA The Bike of Spain. Orbea hand-builds some of the finest bikes in the world. Judy and I ride Orbea frames. Judy has the Orca -a masterpiece. The frame is a blend of T700 and M30S High Modulus Carbon Fiber Composite, Monocoque main triangle with Zeus T700 Carbon stays. The frame also includes the Zeus T700 SL Fork. I ride the incredibly smooth-riding Onix carbon fiber frame. Both bikes smooth out the rough pavement beautifully and both feature hand painted logos and detailing. If you want a road bike with a classic European look and the ultimate ride, buy an Orbea. Click on the Orbea logo to view their site.

Merlin Titanium Bikes I decided to get on a Merlin and the ride is terrific. It smoothes out rough pavement almost as well as carbon but it has a much springier, livelier feel. I rode it on the Fayetteville Summertime Classic on that rough chip seal pavement and it was extremely comfortable. I have a Cyrene which has a comfortable frame geometry with relatively small diameter frame tubes resulting in a ride that is not overly stiff like some of the more race oriented titanium frames. The Cyrene also has a beautiful polished titanium finish unadorned with paint or decals but featuring ornate etching reminiscent of a custom shotgun.

Raleigh is one of the oldest names in the bicycle business.For many people a Raleigh was their first quality bike. Today Raleigh is stronger than ever with many innovative and value packed bikes to choose from. For 2007 they are introducing a variety of 29" wheel mountain bikes including a steel frame single speed.

Giant Bicycle USA GIANT is one of the largest manufacturers of bicycles in the world. Along with their own products, they manufacture bikes for many different brands. Giant has built bikes for Schwinn, Trek and Specialized. Because they are such a large producer of bicycles: 1) They are able to offer bicycles with superior spec. 2) They are extremely advanced in engineering and producing innovative designs.
