MS 150

Its a comin' people, itsa comin'.


We have already started to see a few customers bring in their bikes for the event.

TAKE NOTE!!! These prepared individuals will recieve their bike in time for the event because of propper planning. TRM Cycles will do everything in its power to quickly turn around repairs for the MS 150, however, we are quickly approaching the point where if parts need to be ordered you are S.O.L. or S. out of luck. Please prepare accordingly. I type this and look up at the 13 MS 150 plaques presented to TRM. Please, people, help me help you. Get yer bikes in if they need it...early.

Twenty Niner Revolution

I would like to congratulate? thank? ...whatever.

I am stoked that this d00d Ron picked up a Supa-fly 69er from Trek. He was pretty excited about the way the Maverick Fork felt, he is already a part of the Single Speed Nation so no questions there, and is looking forward to hopping some thick logs on his new horse.

So we are one less bike, but I am still comfortable in saying that TRM Cycles is the Twentyninest (tm) Shop in the South Hills.

If anyone has any good ideas on the "Twentyninest" gang sign for us to through up when we say "twentyninest", please send a digital photograph of it to evanr at trek of pgh dot com . I don't want anything lame, Bettini does that thing in the specialized ad, and it sucks. Nothing like that.

Ok, I have tooted my horn and trashed the competition. I guess that is it for today.

Tired of Automatic Shifting Lemons? Try a Lime!!

As illustrated in this photo, not only are limes the best looking automatic bike out there, they are also automatically shifting themselves out of the store. We cannot keep them in stock. Order 'em up, and we will get you rolling on one in no time at all.



I would also like to give a shout out to all of the Caffiene Club guys heading to D.C. this week. Have fun and take some pictures. The Mount Lebanon Cycling and Caffiene Club has been around since 1988 and has been mostly recognized as "Old guys wearing tight pants". To Horst, Rocky, Bod, Dave, Nick Rossi (not riding his Masi), and anyone that I am missing, have a good time.

Bike to work week!

So far,

Soupie: 1 day

Adam: 1 day

Revolution Ron Alloway: 1 day (i don't know if he biked to work parsay, but he rode)

What are you guys doin?

Sam Friggin' KAUFMAN

Is leading two group rides out of TRM Cycles. For those interested in carving through the lush mid atlantic forrest that is south park, at a conversational pace, Sam will lead a group mountain bike ride thursdays, meeting at the ICE SKATING RINK PARKING LOT at 6:00 PM leaving at 6:30 PM. This ride has the possibility of dusk riding, log piles, and drinking beers afterwards.

In addition to this mountain bike ride, Sam will also lead a Road Ride based out of La Bella Bean coffee in bridgeville. Riders will meet at the coffee shop at 9:00am and the ride will leave promptly at 9:30am. The ride has the possibility of two moderate hill climbs, talking to cows, yelling at horses, and drinking coffee before and after. 2-5 hours in duration with Multiple bailout points. This ride is on country roads, with road conditions from good to awful. The pace will be conversational. Country roads and beautiful scenery.

NATIONAL BIKE MONTH AND BIKE TO WORK WEEK!!!!

May is national bike month and May 14-18th is Bike 2 Work Week. Ultimately making Friday, May 18th Bike 2 Work day 2007. Bike for a whole month, bike for a week, bike to work one day, the call is simple. RIDE RIDE RIDE!!!

Some say "put the fun between your legs" with a bike, i don't know what they say.

It is only may 6th, and Revolution Ron Alloway already has 6 days on EVERYONE!!!! Soupie can't keep up with the Revolution as far as days in the saddle. Can you?

Patented Ratio

Accelorade has a patented ratio between protein and carbohydrates making it a superior training beverage. Hrmmm 4 carbs to one gram of protein.

My mind continues pondering from Frick Park monday, Perhaps I (soupie) will patent my own ratio.


Thus I Publish the Soupie Ratio, On my 29 karate monkey I am running a 32x20 or a 1.6 : 1 ratio aka the Soupie.

It is now common occurence when out singlespeeding with your friends to ask "hey what gear ratio are you running? I am running the soupie!". And when your friends realize that they are running an inferior gear ratio on their 29er (cause no one is friends with anyone who rides 26in wheels anymore) they will swing down to the most twentyninest (a word soon to be patented) shop in the south hills to pick up new chain rings and cogs/freewheels.

We also just recieved the Mark Weir Signature 29er tire the WEIRWOLF!!!!!!! 29x2.55

Not just a 2.5, it is a 2.55!!!!! HOLY SH%T!!!!!!

Thought I'd just keep all yinz in the loop.
