Conversation recently overheard of folks looking at our web site:
Person A: “Hey, is that a new logo over in the Bike Brands Carried section of the web site?”
Person B: “Huh, where’s that?”
Person A: “It’s in that column over on the right side of the page.”
Person B: “Wow, you’re right dude. That is new. Does that mean they are carrying them now?”
Person A: “I hope so, they make a good addition to what the shop carries”

This month’s bike is one meant more for DMC than for Waterdog (though I have ridden one at WaterDog) – a Versus Trigger.
Here is what our customer said:
“The Versus Trigger doesn’t disappoint. It has an ultra burly frame designed for Downhill/Freeride and is stiff in the rear. The bump absorption is great and the linkage is excellent for hitting berms at warp speed. It pedals decently without much pedal feedback. “

This month we are featuring a Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper FSR. 5 inches of travel on alight bike makes this an excellent choice for most any trail around.
Here is what the customer had to say:
After taking a 1-1/2 year break from ridding, and not buying a new
bike for 13 years, I was blown away by how the technology had
improved.

Over 30 demo bikes and awesome weather. Made for lots of smiling faces.
We had 3 lead group rides on the weekend, and a bunch of people who took bikes out on their own at other times. Seemed like around every turn at Waterdog or DMC you’d see another person on a demo ride.
Special thanks to JayB, JohnH, JustineM, DaveO, and BeckyG for leading rides!
Below are some pics from the rides…

Just a quick post of things going on around the shop:
- Specialized has provided us with an awesome display rack for bikes. This jungle gym has replaced the wobbly wall rack of old…
- Timing on getting the rack was great, as we have received some 2 dozen new bikes. We were letting our stock run a little low as we waited for the 2007s to come out – well, now they are here. Many are still in boxes, but Sterling, John, and Charles will get them on the floor quickly.
- Save the Date – We are planning a little shindig on the weekend of March 3 and 4. Group rides, a small fleet of demo bikes, party on Saturday night, etc. This will be an event that you don’t want to miss!

Before you ask – Yes, Passion does do bikes with drop bars and skinny tires…
On to the bike… This is likely to be the least custom, or should I say, most stock equipped Build Of the Month in some time. This Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL SRAM is the top of a very fine line of performance road bikes, and left little room for upgrading. The adjustable Barmac, range of sizes and long rails on the Body Geometry saddle, and uncut fork steerer negated any need to change out components to get the ideal fit for this rider.

This month we are featuring a Hammerhead HH125. What is a Hammerhead 125, you ask? Good question…
Hammerhead is a small company in Austin, TX that has been facilitating custom geometries for bikes. They use a variety of big name builders (Titus, Ventana, etc.) to put together the bike. This frame is similar to the Ventana El Saltamontes.

I hope you got out for a ride last weekend – the weather was amazing and the trail conditions awesome. It is hard to remember that we are in the middle of winter. But this couldn’t last, and the next few days will be a bit more like what we expect of winter.
But us being in winter means that racing season is just around the corner…

This month we are featuring a Giant Trance 1. These bikes are speced from Giant with a good, cost effective set of components, so not much was changed on this from stock, besides what was needed to fit it for the rider.
