Along with blogging for fun, which is what I do with this blog, I also have a business related internet / blogging venture involving a bike shop. In this arrangement it is my duty to, enthusiastically and unbiasedly promote any products the shop is selling. It's a very high end bike shop so that is generally very easy to do. I also try to keep any work I do professionally, separate form this blog. Which allows me to write whatever I want without offending clients. Like Rock Racing for example, I was recently at the shop and confronted by this:
I realize some people appreciate the aesthetic of a Rock Racing kit. I am not one of them, its just too damn flashy. And you couldn't pay me to ride around with a Cadillac Logo on my arm, the only time I want to see an Escalade is when its in the trash compactor.
And what's with the skulls on everything. The last thing I want to do while Im reaching down for a drink a 30 mph in traffic is contemplate mortality.

I dig the skulls. That's the only think I like about the Rock Racing kit in fact...
When I saw Tyler Hamilton on the most recent Velo News cover my first thought was "Wow, that kit is way less ugly than Rock's usual kit". That's not saying much. My least favorite is the green one. Have you seen their website? It's seriously trashy as well.
Are those rock racing booties next to the speedplay pedals? EXtREME!!!
