Jeff Weinerts mounts



well its that time, the leaves are changing, the air is crisper , Jocks are gettin laid at homecoming cyclists are up for early morning runs, and every Sunday somewhere around the country, riders are goin full tilt boogie at redline at a cross race. So its befitting to see what the fast Michiganscene riders are on this year.
this installments im featuring multi State Champion, and former masters national Champions Jeff Weinerts Blue, jeff has ridden many cross bikes, Bianchis, Fuji's and numerous Independent Fabrications, steel and TI , for which he was sponsored by. So its safe to assume he knows what works.
Jeff's sponsor Cane Creek allows him the liberty to pick whichever bike he wants and for the past2 seasons he has riddin the Canadian brand Blue. Although he still has a alloy version for training. This year though his main bike is a carbon and alloy mix, carbon tubes and alloy lugs. He says the ride is very similar to a steel or TI bike but without the weight.

Jeff,
Good luck old friend! As with years past, everyone in Michigan will be racing for second. With a family and a full time job, putting everyone else behind you.

Looking for big things at the UCI's and Nats!
