This is "REAL" bike racing !
Watch and learn kids watch and learn , this is what true bike racing looks like !
Greg LeMond's 1989 Tour win over Laurent Fignon , this was after the 1987 hunting accident were Greg was shot and seriously injured , it doesn't get any more real than this . Greg made all this happen on a handbuilt Bottecchia tailor fit to meet his needs as a athlete , custom built bars and helmet all unproven in competition before this day . Greg didn't need proven technology or big team backing , he had the drive and desire to win ! Watch the video you can see the fire in his eyes !
Some of you might ask why the Greg Lemond post on the Nem-Pro site Brad?
Yesterday I had the pleasure of having lunch with 2 world cup downhill racers who shall remain nameless , It was interesting to say the least and I completely understand now why the bottom has fallen out of racing here in the U.S. and soon abroad .
The cyclist like to blame the doping and the scandals , I as a bike manufacture and as a mechanic who had the pleasure of wrenching for racers such as Greg Lemond understand it's not the scandals or the drugs it's the attitudes of the athletes and their current lack luster drive to succeed . It's my observation that the current crop of pro racer's want everything given to them and do nothing in return for these benefits .
I look at the moment pictured above as one of if not the most powerful moment in sport's during my lifetime , sorry kids but you current crop of primadonna racers out there just arnt doing it for us any longer.

My Volkswagen does 185mph
I lost my license now I don't drive , well this has been my story for the past several months . A little too much fun in the .:R32 ( ednote: not my car in video) one day and I got popped big time . Speeding might be fun but the thousands you spend to get your license back isn't .
After several court dates , thousands in fines I was able to take my license test today and i only missed one answer !
I am now a leagle drive again and no longer have to roll dirty , driving is a privlage not a right Study up kids , cops be cracking down these days .

Bad luck comes in three's .. 3 legends lost in one week
I was talking with Mike R today and we both came to the conclusion that bad luck does come in groups of three.
With the recent passing of fellow Frame builder , owner of SWD racing and all around great guy ! Steve Delay earlier this week it had most of us here in the Nor-Cal cycling world pretty shook up. Everyone here at Nem-Pro sends out our condolences and prayers to the Delay Family and everyone connected to SWD racing .
If the cycling community wasn't shook up enough after the events earlier this week , Jim Taylor of Jet Lights was killed after hitting a Tree in a skiing accident up at Squaw Valley .
Again our condolences go out to Jim's family and everyone over at Jet Lights , we are very sorry for your loss .
Then if all this news wasn't bad enough legendary custom car builder Boyd Coddington also past away this week . After loosing such a legend as Boyd all I could say was ... Ah hell this worlds coming to a end ! Rest in peace Boyd , you were a true master !
We here at Nemesis Project ask everyone to remember these 3 individuals as the true innovators and craftsman of their industries . Go rip a night ride down your favorite DH trail for Jim and Steve and when your leaving the parking lot , Rip a smokey burnout for Boyd I'm sure they all would have wanted it that way .
Have a safe weekend kids .

More pic's of David from France
What else can I say about these latest pic's of David Desnoës from France , other than he rips !
From what I hear David really liked Yoann's Deathmobile , in the pic's it's pretty clear to see that David had no trouble nailing multiple tailwhips on every ramp in the park!
The Deathmobile was created to be a simple big wheel bike that any BMXer could get used to in a very short time ,these pic's of David help prove this point very well!
We will be stating another run of both 24" and 26" Deathmobiles very soon , if your interested in getting one of these bikes please contact me here Brad's Nem-Pro Email

New Secret Agent dropout's
I try to make it a point NOT to post renderings of new designs on the web blog , but these are a little different .
Pictured below are the renderings of the NEW smaller Secret Agent dropouts .
There has been some discussion that the Secret Agent's rear dropouts are big , in reality there not as big as some of the current crop out rear dropouts that have logo's or crossbones laser cut in them .
There was however room for improvement so here are the new revised production Secret Agent dropout's .
Please post up a comment letting me know what you think .
Thanks
Brad
New dropout
For refrance here how much material we took off the drive side dropout
