THE
RIDE
 Yeah, gear rocks, it gets us all hot and bothered, ignites our imagination, fuels our dreams... But come on, let's not kid ourselves, it's all about
the ride. The ride to Seven Eleven, the ride to your buddies house, the ride we call Ingolf, the ride at Panorama, Fernie, The Seine River, the ride through the monkey trails at Assiniboine Park, the ride with your 30 favorite buddies or the ride with your daughter.
At Gord's we're under no illusion of grandeur when it comes to our position in the big picture. We're simply here to help you to get out and play... To educate, to encourage, to flagrantly coerce you into riding more by enjoying the experience more. TO RIDE!  |

GORDS DOES COMMENCAL
 Attention all bike lovers! Gord's is very proud to announce that we'll be offering Commencal Bikes starting in the summer of 2008! Commencal is a very cool, forward thinking niche bike company from Andorra. (they also hppen to sponsor the ubiquitous Cedric Gracia)... Needless to say we're very excited about this news!
Here's how this came about: Robbie and I were in Vegas, testing our allotted complement of bikes... and since day two was simply overrun with testers, bike companies were struggling to keep up with demand for test bikes. During one lull in testing (while waiting for the Jamis Dakar XAM to become available) I glanced over to the Commencal booth only to see someone about to return a "Meta 5.5" in my size... And since Commencal bikes had always piqued my interest I decided to pounce on the poor guy who was holding said bike. When I rolled up to Catherine and Rob on the Commencal both looked at me puzzled, "but that's
not on our list..." I shrugged, made up some story involving the French and off we went onto our favorite loop or Bootleg Canyon.
 Once in a while a bike rides so well that you HAVE to reconsider stuff... This was one of those bikes. Not unlike Intense bikes in 2006. These Commencal bikes were NICE. So nice, in fact, that both Robbie and I felt it necessary to include it onto our respective TOP 5 BIKES lists.
The next step is the percolation, the mulling over of, the scheming, the math, the strategizing... Trying to find a way to get these sexy bikes on our floor for 2008. Gladly, with the help of the very nice and helpful Peter Appleton from Commencal Canada, we found a way... And man, are we stoked!

"Frame-only" is a great option for people who have been steadily upgrading their bikes over the years... and now it's time to give all these great parts a respectable home.
We test-rode the killer line of Intense bikes at Interbike in 06 and simply fell in love with them for a few reasons: [1] They look so freaking hot. (I know, it's a little superficial but come on! You're spending 2800 bones on a FRAME, it better well speak to you!).
[2] They ride like nothing else. It's a difficult thing to express but they have a unique feel that we simply loved. Fast, smooth, perky... Lovely. [3] The company that distributes them in Canada "On the Edge" are a tough act to follow. Based in Quebec, they really give a shit and they are great to work with. Did we mention how hot these bikes look? They even come in a crazy assortment of colors (like the uber cool RAW finish)!
