First Impression: Specialized TriCross Elite Steel Disc Triple

It’s nice to see that a big company like Specialized has not totally abandoned steel as a frame material, especially for an all-rounder bike like this.  This is the kind of bike that encourages such impromptu adventures.

Shinola's American-made bikes - and watches - now being built

The Shinola brand has been around since 1929, but when it was reincarnated in Detroit it didn't have much in common with the shoe-polish company it once was and the colloquialism that bears its name.

Review: Specialized Secteur

Don’t let the race pedigree fool you—the Secteur is set up to be friendly for those of us without “Eye of the Tiger” playing on repeat in our heads.
