Brand New MDEbikes website

That´s right, my favorite Mountain Bikes builder has a new website and I can assure you it´s really great.

New MDEbikes website

MDE bikes has renewed its site once more and this time they also presented some more frame models.

Beside the aesthetic factors what drew my attention were the new frames, specially the new Cudgel (XC) with the i-Link rear suspension system and the new Carver with a new and more logical rear shox position allowing the use of a bottle cage (which it wasn´t possible on the previous design of this frame).

Great work guys, congratulations for your new site!

It is finally here! My new MDEbikes Carver frame

As I have told you earlier I was expecting the arrival of my brand new full suspension mountain bike frame. And after a torturous wait it finally arrived yesterday!!!

Can you feel my excitement!?

Before I present it here I must warn everybody to put sunglasses on because it will become brighter and shiny in this post. You know how stars can shine, don`t you?




Are you ready!?

My brand new "shining" Carver frame

I tried to photograph it from different angles with and without flash but nothing worked... It really shines LOL.

I already started to assembling it but that will be subject for another post soon ;)

It is almost done!

That´s right, my new frame is ready for finishing. Thanks to Giuseppe`s photo I can now dream with my new frame LOL.



It´s great to see my new baby being held by the skillful hands who made "her", thank you so much Federico! I can not wait to have "her" here ready for assembling and be able to start riding her through all those trails which she will love so much.

I don´t know if it´s because it´s Christmas time but I really feel like a child again, waiting for that special toy that seems like will never arrive LOL. This year my Santa Claus is from Torino, Italy. And for the first time I know where He lives: MDE General Headquarters.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a 2009 that will bring everything you want!

Have fun!

Back on wheels!

After more than a year after my last mountain bike vacations to the French Alps where I broke both wrists I am back on the trails again :)



















I have been training myself to be able to do almost all those things I used to do with my mountain bikes but most of all to feel happy and alive doing one of the things I like the most: riding bicycles!

After a couple months of trainings I am already able to ride 60/80km before my wrists start complaining. The worst thing is I can not grab the handlebar as I did before and that is a big problem when I want to ride standing up to relieve the end of my back :D

For that reason I decided to buy a full suspended frame which will make my rides a lot more comfortable and safe. Here is the one I chose - MDEbikes Carver i-Link `09:

As to the color I will leave you thinking about it and then I will show the finished frame in one of my next posts ;).

Have fun!
