Bianchi Owner’s Group Ride, Saturday May 19

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Mike Humphries

Bianchi Group Ride

Dear Bianchi Bicycle Owner,

Like you, we are incredibly passionate about cycling! We ride every chance we get, read the magazines, and watch the race broadcasts. No single bicycle brand embodies the history and passion of cycling more than Bianchi. For 125 years, Bianchi has been creating the finest road bikes in the world. Names like Fausto Coppi, Marco Pantani and Gianni Bugno only solidify this stature…

Please join us Saturday, May 19 @ 9am for a Bianchi Owners Group ride. We will ride a leisurely paced loop through town, approx 18-20 miles. We will stop for snacks, coffee, and other drinks at Michael Thomas Coffee Roasters (in the Ridgecrest neighborhood). We will have Bianchi and Kickstand door prizes, and even some pizza back at The Kickstand after the ride…

I look forward to riding with you,

Lee Newsom, Owner, The Kickstand

PS…Not a Bianchi Owner? Please feel free to join us and soak up the passion of il Giro & Italian Cycling!

RSVP for attendance is requested…please reply via email. Grazie!

Giant ANTHEM X 29ER 0: BIKE MAGAZINE FINDS “SURPRISING VERSATILITY”

Posted on April 7, 2012 by The Kickstand

The May 2012 issue of Bike magazine looks at the Anthem X 29er 0 and found the bike to be “incredibly stable while being bombed down open sections of the rough stuff.”

Giant Anthem X 29er 0“The Anthem X 29er covers ground at an incredible clip…cleans technical climbs like a champ…washboard sections, small rocks and roots just disappear beneath the bike…the big wheels and Giant’s plush rear-suspension combine to give the sense that this bike harbors an extra inch of rear squish.”

“The component kit is rock solid…SRAM XO cranks and rear derailleur…Elixir 9 brakes and a RockShox SID 29 RCT3 fork…especially appreciated the 2.1-inch Schwalbe Racing Ralph tires…rear suspension has few equals when it comes to providing traction.”

“This is a cross-country bike that gives longer-legged trail bikes a run for their money.”

You can read the full review in the May issue of Bike magazine or click here to learn more about the Anthem X 29er models.

Stop by The Kickstand Bicycle Sales & Service to test ride your Giant Anthem X 29er 0.
