While we weren’t posting and reviewing during our four month hiatus, that didn’t mean we just took time off. We are enthusiasts after all, and even if we couldn’t write about some awesome new gear, we were still seeking it out. So when Alex (of Alex’s Bicycle Pro Shop – one of our frequent stops) let us know he had both a Cervelo P5x and a new BMC Timemachine in house, we had to stop by and check them out. And while we unfortunately couldn’t get them out for test rides, we did spend some quality time with them to see what the fuss was about. Check our both galleries below.
