David, thanks so very much for letting me ride a demo Sage bike during my
womens race. My derailleur broke and because of David, I was still able to
race.
The bike handled really well in the corners and I kept the rubber down. My
only errors were shifting as the shifters were different than my cross bike.
Thanks again and this bike totally rocked.
P.S. What tires were on the 52 cm?

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Sage Cycles Demo bike reservation list for Cross
Crusade Races
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone who attended the Cross Crusade: Rainier race this past
weekend had a great time. I know I did and everyone I did have a chance to
speak with seemed to as well. The weather was fantastic, the mud was thick
(a little too thick by the end of the day), and the climbing hurt. This
coming weekend should have spectacular weather and a spectacular course. I
am looking forward to it say the least.
If you were at the race this past Sunday, you might have noticed quite a few
Sage Cycles bikes being raced in various categories. We had bikes racing
everything from Beginners to Master As to Clydesdales to the Womens races
in the afternoon. All in all, it was a great day for the demo bikes as they
were thoroughly raced all day. With that in mind, I have created a
Reservation list for anyone who wants to use one of the bikes for their
race. It is based on a first come/ first serve basis, so if you are
interested, please contact me as soon as you can and I will add you to the
list. Here is a quick sizing chart for the bikes that are available for demo
(we do have a 61cm frame in sizing, but not available as a demo bike):

Here is a link to the Cyclocross page to get a better look at the bike and
the specs of the models: http://sagetitanium.com/sage-bikes/cyclocross/.
Keep in mind, that bikes can be built with either SRAM or Campy in addition
to Shimano. We started running a very special promotion this past weekend
for our Cyclocross bikes only, so if you are interested in taking advantage
of this amazing offer, please stop by the tent to ask about it. It is for a
limited time and on a limited amount of inventory.
Lastly, I race the Clydesdale race, so if you are getting a bike for an
early morning race, please stop by before I take off for the Clydes race so
I can get you all set up and ready to go.
I look forward to seeing you at PIR this weekend.
Sincerely,
Dave
