The aggressively priced Douglas Fusion raises the 'value bar' by featuring the latest Ultegra SL components and pro-quality construction that will delight budget-minded cyclists and aficionados alike. Thanks to a competition inspired Altair 2 aluminum frame with custom butted tube set, this street machine rides with a near weightless feel and flawless efficiency. The Fusion's custom drawn chain stays channel power to the rear wheel while High Modulus carbon fiber seat stays dissipate ground-generated vibrations for a smooth comfortable ride. All this performance is packaged within a carefully crafted geometry that begs to fly for the city limit sign. Before you buy any road bike this season, make sure you check out the 2008 Douglas Fusion. Once again, it's unbeatable.

Matrix sets a new performance-to-price benchmark with a winning mix of High Modulus (HM) carbon fiber frame technology and precision Shimano Dura-Ace shifting. Our flagship bicycle scores high in all of the key areas - weight, torsional rigidity, handling, shifting and detailing.

HM construction yields a lively and energetic ride with a solid, balanced road-feel. Oversized, multi-shaped tubes and lugs are specifically engineered to enhance lateral rigidity without adding unnecessary weight. The top tube blends seamlessly with the seat stays to decrease the torsional deflection at the top tube and seat tube junction, while increasing the lateral strength and enhancing the vibration damping qualities. The integrated full carbon fork features an aero-tapered fork blade to isolate unpleasant road vibrations and deliver front-end stability, nimble handling and a smooth, solid ride.

Frame construction begins with an inner carbon skeleton that serves as a base onto which the large diameter down tube, doublewide bottom bracket, seat tube and seat stays are joined. Next, the frame is hand aligned and wrapped in layers of HM carbon fiber, culminating with a handsome surface of 12K carbon weave. After final molding, each frame is inspected and individually fatigue tested to simulate the dynamic loads of real world cycling. And, when you put this much effort into building a great frame, you don't want to skimp on the components. Check out the specs below!

Frame: High modulus carbon featuring beautiful 12K carbon weave and handsome graphics. Features: Semi-sloping top tube geometry. Forged dropout with replaceable derailleur hanger. Dual bottle mounts.

Bike: Merlin Works CR-Sram Red

In designing and building this frame, Merlin sought to maximize the ride quality of titanium. Shaping and cold working Merlin's MTS2 size-specific titanium tubes yields an increase of up to 45% in the materials strength, enhancing bottom bracket stiffness and optimizing Tom Kellogg's refined, race-tuned, semi-sloping geometry. Works CR has a torsionally rigid front end to ensure precise handling and stout, 1" chain stays to provide a stunningly efficient transfer of energy. Easton's remarkably light EC-90 SLX carbon fork is perfectly matched to Merlin's high performance frame. Featuring advanced High-Modulus carbon construction and a carbon steerer tube, EC-90 SLX delivers front-end stability, nimble handling and vibration-dampening comfort.

Frame: Custom double-butted 3/2.5 oversized titanium in size specific tubing. Features: Semi-sloping geometry. Engraved head badge. Dual bottle mounts. Made in the USA. Fork: Easton EC-90 SLX High Modulus carbon with carbon steerer. 1-1/8". Sizes: XS-46, SM-47.5cm, MD-49cm, MD/LG-51, LG-53, XL-55cm (center to top).
Frame Weight: 2.62 lbs. (M/L).

Bike: Titus Oseo-Record

Developing an advanced carbon fiber composite frame isn't a matter of having an exotic formula or the most elaborate terminology. It's a matter of precise engineering, the use of appropriate materials and proper fabrication execution. Titus pushes the performance limits of conventional composites by using patented Isogrid technology. Isogrid refers to internal, skeleton-like carbon ribs that reinforce (from the inside) ultra-light carbon tubing, yielding stronger, stiffer tubes and reducing total weight.
Science, however, was only one part of the Oseo design consideration. Most importantly, the bike had to be fun to ride and hold a line through sweeping black top. The Oseo features a slightly sloped geometry with sculpted lugs, oversized and tapered down tube and radial bend seat stays that render precise, confident handling, phenomenal acceleration and unmatched vertical compliance. The Oseo gives you the feeling that the faster you go, the more your input becomes telepathic, like your bike is an extension of your own body. Frame: Unidirectional carbon tubing with patented Isogrid top tube and Isogrid oversized, tapered down tube. Features: Radial bend carbon seat stays. Custom machined dropouts with replaceable derailleur hanger. Dual bottle mounts. Fork: Full carbon with monocoque construction; Integrated 1-1/8". Sizes: 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 cm. (center to top). Frame Weight 58 cm: 3.27 lbs.
