Snipes Bicycles was founded in 2000 in Victoria, British Columbia. The company has striven to engineer high-end hard-tail frames. Riders familiar with Snipes will recognize previously released frames such as the ‘30-06’ and ‘7mm’. Snipes is touting the newest incarnation as “the next step up on the evolutionary ladder to perfection.” Enter the 2004 Snipes ‘Elemental’.

Naughty! Back in mid December we were having one hell of a bunch of nice weather, and both I and Savoie were out of bikes waiting for our .243 racing gear to arrive so we could ride. Bleed was the day that it finally came!

It seems that when I travel outside of Alberta I always see some new, cool product that isn’t available at home. I am always anxious to try it out and see it become available in my local bike stores. This was the case with Bikebonz products. I was in On Top Bike Shop in Vancouver one day and noticed the Bonz Brake Triggers. I contacted Terry from Bikebonz, and he graciously sent me 3 pairs of triggers to test.
