It has been a few year's since we have formally reviewed any kind of bike worth mentioning. Not because we haven't bought, ridden our tested new bikes, but more that we haven't found anything that deserved a mention here on CogSnob. We were tempted a few times (Niner EMD, Cervelo R3), but they fell into the "ho-hum" category of nothing new or revolutionary.

Enter a new Cyclocross specific bike called the Auger from the QBP upstart - Foundry Cycles. Haven't heard of Foundry yet? Guaranteed you will. In the US bike world, wholesaler QBP is a major force and a adaptive marketing presence that can easily throw its weight around when needed.

If you live in Colorado and are a cyclist, you most likely have heard of names like Ward, SuperJames, Magnolia, and Flagstaff. These references are Rockies Front Range road rides that many a pro-tour cyclist has ridden and suffered. Most notably Taylor Phinney road around Boulder a few weeks ago and smashed all of the existing KOM set by us plebes. Nice.

To capitalize on the pain and suffering these rides eschew, the folks at FuzzyRuf T-shirts (makers of the popular BILF shirt), recently launched their "Epic Ride Collection" and have immortalized these rides on T-shirts.

With slogans like, "SuperJames Is My Freakin KOM Ride", and "I Ride Ward Before Breakfast", you are sure to get a few nods of respect when strutting around town.

NOTE: Posers heed warning. You better have your wattage, total time, and avg mph stats ready.

Many of you have sought out the so-called uber high-end road shoe. A pair so perfect that you would steal from your beloved grandma to purchase. Over the last few years, we have tried our best to define the ultimate---the true definition of snob. And until the Rapha Grand Tour came along, we realized all other attempts were simply a wasted effort.
