The 2008 Prince Carbon is identical in every last detail to the 2009 edition. The paint schemes are different, but other than that detail, they are equals in every last way. Every way, that is, except price. By choosing a 2008 paint scheme you save $1,500. Just like '09, the '08 version is built...

The human body is symmetrical. But there's an inherent asymmetry to how your bicycle catalyzes the power you put into the pedals. It's easy to visualize, for example, how in a high-wattage effort your right chainstay is torqued more acutely than the left. The cause is obvious: Your crankset,...

It's easy to get obsessed with shaving grams from your bike, but do you give much thought to grams of drag? With the Noah, Ridley has given aerodynamics just as much consideration as the static mass of the frame. Here is the reality: Ride a frame with low enough drag, and it'll deliver all the...

Just because there is a chromosomal difference between men and women, there is no need to alter the DNA of the road racing bicycle. The BH Cristal is very much like their G5 frameset, though the geometry will better accommodate women's typically shorter torsos and arms. Where you might feel...

As cyclists, we've become too accustomed to the banality of 'new models' of our favorite bikes. Every year we see most builders just throw on the accessory du jour, call a red paint job 'aero,' dust off their hands, and call it new. Luckily, BH didn't become entangled with the status quo....

The BH RX1 takes all the lessons that BH has learned from the production of their road racing bicycles and crosses them with some off-road DNA to create a race machine worthy of World Cup cyclocross competition. It has a few key details like a top tube with a flattened underside and cables that...

We don't know if it's inherent in the culture, or if it's something intrinsic to the language, but Italian speech is rife with hyperbole and colorful idioms. Regardless, we love it. Whether it's the effortless invocation of the Madonna for every possible instance of superlative, or the boundless...

Celeste may be an acquired taste; having a bike that goes beyond the norms and redefines paradigms is not. The desire for such a bike is hard-wired into our DNA. Bianchi has been in the business of going beyond for over 100 years, and whether it's the bike underneath Fausto Coppi, Felice...

Just think of it -- 'Celeste.' It's the only color that can transcend Black and White photos. And over the past 125 years, we've seen it don the bikes of legends from Coppi to Gimondi. However, even Edoardo Bianchi himself couldn't have envisioned the height of perfection that is the Bianchi...
