Bike of the Month for July .... Where's Dan?
Quote | Reply
Just read the review of the Litespeed Sirius in the Triathlete Bike of the Month column by some other Dan ...... What's up with that? Was Dan being too honest for them? ..... They're back to gushing all over the bike as an awesome tri bike ..... Seems to me that a bike with road geometry that is pictured without any aero bars is not much of a tri bike. Now if the review had said something along the lines of sticking Profile jammers on it for racing or perhaps using it for training only (although it retails for $3495) and keeping a dedicated time trial frame for your races maybe there might be some credibility but this piece was back to the "every bike tested is flawless" (except he did mention that perhaps upgrading from regular Aspide to Aspide tri - saddle might improve it as the only flaw) useless reviews of the past ....... Bring back Empfield!!!!!

person I can remember who actually "reviewed" anything. Everything else in the magazine which they call a "review" reads pretty much like advertisement. They don't "compare" wetsuits, bikes, wheels, shoes or anything else. The comparisons pretty much spew out whatever the company usually has in their ads and throws in the MSRP. Guess they don't want to pi$$ off the people who buy the ads. At least they haven't resorted to "3 million one line useless pieces of garbage to take up space" like Bicycling. Yet.
