		<description><![CDATA[Bike chains need to be cleaned and lubed every once in a while to extend their life. This is especially true after riding in the rain or mud. The chain may develop surface rust which is no big deal unless you leave it there. But cleaning, degreasing and lubing a bike chain is easy and [...]]]></description>

I bought a yellow one for my tri bike. Not my first choice of color, but the cheapest one I could find. Well, second cheapest. I didn’t want pink. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I watch craigslist for bikes, and see mostly overpriced junk. People listing old recreational bikes as &#8220;race bikes&#8221;. Yeah, most race bikes have safety brake levers, shifters on the stem, and foam covered handle bars. Idiots! But every now and then somethings pops up.
Last night I saw a Trek bike on Craigs List for $349. [...]]]></description>

I started looking on ebay for a new crankset. [...]]]></description>

Then I decided that since I would have to strip the handlebars down to get the old quill stem off, unless I want to destroy the old stem, I might as well replace the handle bars with new style ergo type handlebars.
