Reader Story: Making a Custom Bike By Recycling Old Frames
I assume that to make a second unit you need to crack this one, build two bikes from the pieces, crack them both again and make four and so on

Rockrider Release New Feel Range
"Available in Europe now for 3000€ (FEEL 900S) and 4000€ (FEEL 900S Team Edition)"
They should know better that if you put a tag price that is either 3000/4000 it sounds like you are making that up. 2975? 3990?

"It Doesn't Seem Like They Really Want Privateers Here" - Interviews with World Cup Privateer Racers
@Maxcommencemal: mostly the pace. Is not the same sharing the track with a couple of top world class riders than with a handful of them. The more fast guys/girls you got on track that weekend, the faster the race is going to be and the level to beat. In a WC you got the B practice riders watching the fastest of the world from the side of the track and then trying to replicate those lines and keep with that pace. It just rises the level

"It Doesn't Seem Like They Really Want Privateers Here" - Interviews with World Cup Privateer Racers
To learn to race at world cup level you need to race actual world cups, period. Of course is important to have a good national series, but not all the countries have them. So maybe France, USA and UK can have them but what happen with the people from Colombia for example? These people work hard for a long time trying to qualify and then one day everything click for them like the Colombian guy who shared the hot seat with a 5x World Champion for quite a bit and ended in 13th in Les Gets.

Katy Winton Reveals Uncertain Future as a Full-Time Racer
Does the budget of a world race team makes any real impact on a massive brand that already belongs to an even bigger conglomerate? I am guessing ballpark figures here and hope to be corrected/educated, but for a brand like GT how much is the budget for their factory teams? $2mil per year tops? They don't have any major player with a half a million pay check, so the money goes mostly in travel, accommodation, insurance and shipping stuff around the globe. I hate to think that they always resort to cut in what creates a culture and a following of the sport like racing does.
