gear reviews > H3 (by Dave)
http://www.trifuel.com/gear/product_reviews_info.php/products_id/250/reviews_id/44 A wonderful wheel
which is really fast and will hold forever! But make sure to shop it in a LBS and not to order it.
Since HED claims that there's no 100% true hed 3 wheel. So therefore I recommend you to see the
actual wheel before you buy it. Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]

Gravity (by Josh Caldwell)
http://www.trifuel.com/gear/product_reviews_info.php/products_id/42/reviews_id/43 Wonderful bike.
Light, fast out of the saddle and comfortable in. Dual use in both cycling and triathlon makes this
ideal for the upper level racer who is short on funds. Just don't buy with the Spinergy wheelset,
terrible wheels... Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Vx Special Pro Carbon Frame (by Brian Kelsch)
http://www.trifuel.com/gear/product_reviews_info.php/products_id/306/reviews_id/42 TIME VX Pro /
Campy Record / Mavic Ksyrium 2003 Tour Wheels. Love to ride hills and this bike is a dream climbing
bike. It is amazing on rough terrain as the carbon fibre takes much of the road. Very fast, very
stiff and great on descents. The craft.. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]
