TEAM H2V: BIKE UNVEILING

Jay making sure the fine mechanics are working perfectly.

Two frames.....one carbon and one over trained body!

The RED BULL gals stop by late to get the mechanics revved up. Tom, ready to rock.

Martin using the heavy machinery to make sure the frames are in perfect alignment.

The sexy carbon steeds that will help propel us across this long country have arrived and are being dressed with their armour as we speak.

Check out the sweet Argon 18 Platinum frames as the boys down at John Henry Bikes, Tom, Martin and Jay, with care and precision put the machines together over the last few days.

Argon 18 is one of Canada's finest manufacturers of racing bikes building with the highest grades of carbon and the Platinum model is one of the few bikes that Argon 18 manufacturers which is a monocoque design. That is to say that the front end of the bicycle frame is made, or molded, in one piece to give it the greatest rigidity [speed and energy transfer] while at the same time using the carbon properties to make a very comfortable ride, which the guys will surely appreciate as we get nearer to Vancouver.

This techno-jargon just means that these bikes are the sweetest looking carbon machines going!

Dress them up with some Full Speed Ahead components like wheels, seatposts, and crazy carbon cranks and the units get better and better. FSA as the component manufacturer is known just had a major victory in that one of their major athletes, Daniel Di Luca, just completed his victory at the Giro D'Italia. So needless to say we are riding some great equipment and couldn't be happier.

Shifting equipment is being run by SRAM and these carbon levered shifters and derailleurs are so light it makes you nervous.

The whole bike is just fabulous and we are proud to represent our sponsors and ride their equipment through our training and race.

Bottom line: we will succeed and raise the awareness necessary to help move forward with finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. Thanks for all your support and check out this crazy bikes.
