Take the Trail by Storm on the 2013 Superfly Elite SL 29er HT! We have it at Pat’s 605!



The 2013 Trek Superfly Elite 29er HT has raised the bar for 29er hardtail mountain performance bikes. 29” tires means that you can carry more momentum, roll over obstacles easier, and expect more stability and traction than standard 26” tires. Trek has also included a more robust and confident rear axle that is about 35% stiffer than an open dropout design. Trek’s mountain-specific carbon fiber is tougher carbon, with unique materials and layup procedures, Trek’s advanced engineering and a higher standard of testing. The bottom bracket is the stiffest carbon on the market, and it is exclusive to Trek.

The shifters, front and rear derailleur are all Shimano Deore, so compatabilty is a non-issue. In fact, having an all Shimano drivetrain makes shifting dependable, easy, and quick. Even the brakes are Shimano Deore XT hydraulic disc brakes, which means stopping power is fantastic. Bontrager Race Lite Tubeless Ready Disc Race Wheels come standard on the Superfly, and Bontrager manufactures the 29” tires mentioned earlier.

This bike is incredible, and you can take a test ride of it at Pat’s 605. We are located at 12310 S. Studebaker Road in Norwalk and our phone number is (562) 864-0740.

Don’t wait! Come by now and take a test ride of this great bike!

Pat’s 605 is Proud to Present the 2013 Trek Fuel EX!

The 2013 Trek Fuel EX may not look different from last years model, but Trek has practically redesigned the whole bike! First, Trek updated the geometry of the Fuel EX by making the chainstays shorter and lowering the bottom bracket. More compliance comes from a 30% increase in travel in the shocks! These few changes alone make the bike way better than the 2012 models.

This bike comes in two aluminum platforms and three carbon platforms. The carbon models have different rear triangles. One made from aluminum alloy, one with aluminum chainstays and carbon seatstays, and another is full carbon. Depending on the model, the frames can weigh as little as 3.9 pounds, and as many as 5.4 pounds.

Trek also included the Active Braking Pivot, and their exclusive Dual Rate Control Valve to make the bike amazingly efficient, confident and smooth. Many reviewers are saying that the Fuel EX is the best bike of the year.

We are located at 12310 S. Studebaker Road in Norwalk and our phone number is (562) 864-0740, If you have any questions about the 2013 Trek Fuel, or just want to come by to schedule a test ride, you can do so at any time. We’ll be waiting for you!

2013 Trek Madone 2 Series: Stiffer, Lighter, Perfect for Any Rider!



For years, the Trek Madone was a leading carbon fiber road racer used by local riders as well as Lance Armstrong.  The light weight and advanced design of the Madone carbon frame gave cyclists a big performance edge over others not as lucky to be riding this bike.  Trek has recognized the need to bring the design of the Madone down to a lower price point so for 2013, Trek is introducing two Madone models in aluminum.  The Madone 2.1 and 2.3 deliver a lot of the benefits of their carbon big brother but at half the price.

Equipped with a carbon fork and seat post and Shimano 105 10 speed components the Madone 2 series is perfect for racing, triathlons, weekend group rides or that early Saturday morning ride by yourself where you just want to see where the road takes you.

We are located at 12310 S. Studebaker Road in Norwalk and our phone number is 562 864-0740.  If you have questions about the 2013 Madone, give us a call or drop by the shop and check them out in person.
