Cervelo stepped up in a big way for the Tour. You may have already seen Thor and the gang riding the special edition frames and thought, “Hey! That’s not what I’m riding?!?” In order to commemorate the defending TDF Champion - Carlos Sastre - for the 2009 Tour de France, Cervelo has made a handful of R3 SL and S3 TDF Limited framesets. We have a 56 R3 SL in stock, but if you’re interested in a different size or an S3, let us know soon because they won’t last long. The R3 SL also comes with a yellow TDF CSC - Saxo Bank jersey signed by Carlos Sastre, and a one-off 3T Doric Team seatpost. Here’s what they look like.  Check back at  artscyclery.com for high res. images which will be up soon. Don’t let this special offer pass you by. The suggested retail of the R3SL is $4300, the S3 is $4500 but of course we’ll beat anyone else’s prices. You can call us 800-626-3440 to place your order.

For all you sports fans out there, the U.S.’s own Team Columbia-High Road is having a race season to cheer about. While we admit they were good last year, does anyone else see the correlation between Art’s Cyclery becoming TCHR’s official on-line clothing distributor and TCHR’s near take-over of the competitive road world? We won’t take all the credit, some of it has to go to the guys winning the races, but some of it has to go to you, too; the fan who is proudly wearing their official team kits on the roads you ride everyday. So to you we say, keep up the good work, and keep training for July. Your team is depending on you!

Here are some highlights of Columbia-High Road’s season:

First Place at the Australian Championships TT - Michael Rogers

Stage 1 win at the Tour Down Under - Andre Greipel

Stage 4 and 6 wins at the Tour of Qatar - Mark Cavendish

Stage 4 and 5 wins at the Tour of California - Mark Cavendish
