Is that an Ohlins front? oh boy oh boy oh boy.   

Great!  I can snap up a used one for less next Spring.

Lose the woodpecker beak and I'll consider. For now, I'll keep racking up the miles on my oldie.

"Skyhook" sounds a bit gimmicky but Don Canet of Cycle World magazine was 3rd quickest up the hill at Pikes's Peak this year on stock Sachs Skyhook suspension, an entire second better than his Spyder Grips teammate Micky Dymond who was running full Ohlins set up by Race Tech.   This was Don's first time at Pike's and the footage makes me so nervous, I'm hoping that he doesn't get a wild hair to go back next year and win the damn thing...
