Pez Eyes are rolling all round the Tour pits, and we spy a wee look at the dream machines that these guys get for free! All they had to do was be one of the best couple guys on the best teams in the world…

Too cool to keep to myself – check out the pics of Tyler’s Time Machine from BMC. It’s enough to leave even the gnarliest Tour-vet shakin in his cleats… Very fast – very lean – very expensive…

Principia make no bones about it, they make Aluminum race bikes. And looking at the Pro Peloton, it’s pretty plain to see that aluminum is the ticket for lots of the guys who want a tool that helps them earn a paycheck.

When the new Six13 started to make the buzz we were as curious as the next PEZ-Reader, so thanks to Javi of Cannondale Spain, we got hooked up for a preview and ride of the only Six13 in that country.

Bikes that come built up and ready to test are always a good thing. BMC goes all out to bring you a Phonak team spec bike, loaded to the gills in Tyler Trinkets, right down to Zipps 404’s.

We took the Co-Motion Ristretto to the battlefields of Belgium and Northern France, to ride the ‘bergs and pavй in the worst Spring weather the Classics could throw at us. The weather was tough, the riding was tougher… but toughest of all was the bike.

“We’d really like you guys to keep this stuff under wraps until June 21.” That was the directive from Veltec Sports and LOOK Cycles as myself and 7 other magazine and web editors gathered in Hyatt San Jose last Thursday to witness the newest coolest gear from LOOK’s 2005 line-up.

I don’t know who cooks up the designs for these guys, but they found a way to add a little swerve and curve to some of the super light stuff out there and toss in a little stiffness to boot. We get a leg over the Kuota Kredo.

...REVIEWS - that is! The PEZ series on helmets starts with Specialized Super-vented S-1 and the Carapacho from Carrera. Remember when helmets weren't cool? We check some new offerings with lots 'o vents, that are pretty... er, cool!
