See it? Like it? Want one? Call me, we'll talk!


I just had to show off my ride. I've had it for about 3 months now and I just can't get enough of it! Carrera is one of the few "completely handmade in Italy" brands anymore. Carrera does their own research and design as well as construction of their bicycles all in Italy. This is the Estremo, one of the top in their line. The frame and fork retail for a mere $3,600 and as you'd expect for this money not only does it master every performance quality asked for in a bicycle, but it's gorgeous! You can also have your frame custom designed for you. The designer, Lucianno Bracchi is the same man who designed bicycles for the Italian greats like Marco Pantani, Claudio Chiupucci, Michele Bartoli and Stephano Garzelli! How many people do you know with custom bikes that can say that their's was designed by someone of this caliber?

Extra, Extra, read all about it!

Man, have things been humming lately! First I want to say a big WAHOOO because we got Eload featured in the June 15th issue of BRAIN (Bicycle Retailer And Industry News, www.bicycleretailer.com). If you're in the business and you don't already get this bi-monthly newspaper, well my friend, you're way behind! So check it out, we're on page 31.

So, the next big news is the sudden postponement of the Texas State Road Race Championship at Fort Hood on the 25th of this month. Andy Hollinger who is the race promoter and head of The Racing Post (www.theracingpost.us) has been working his tail off to put together a much talked about state championship road race only to have the military pull the plug at the last moment. Andy hopes to have it moved to October and will update us as soon as he has a set date. Medion Corporation will still be supporting the neutral feed with Eload. BTW, hopefully Patrick McCarty from Phonak will make the rescheduled race as he had apparently signed up
for this one. Bring friends Patrick!

Bigger news VERY soon to come, so stay tuned! Cheers!
