Germanys Michael Steingraeber has decided to part ways with long time bike sponsor Dragonfly to join team Mankind. Michael had this to say: "I have been with Dragonfly for over 15 years, working for them, riding for them, designing parts for them. It's been a very good time and I am very appreciative for all the support they have given me. I would not be where I am now without them! But everything changes over time, and for me the time has come to walk a different path. I will ride for Mankind Bikes as off now. The much liked Alive frame was the first Flatland product in the Mankind lineup, with more to come in the second half of 2010. Mankind gave me the chance to design a signature Flatland frame. I am happy to let you know my frame will feature the style and quality that all Mankind products are so well known for as well as the functionality that I am looking for in every product I want to use"

Profile products..AWESOME as usual
You hear a lot about "All New" and "Redesigned" and "Re-envisioned" from other bike companies. While this is exciting (everybody likes new stuff), there remains the fact that the parts that they just introduced have made their "old" stuff, made last year, obsolete. We have a slightly different philosophy here at Profile Racing. We make high quality bicycle components to last. We are constantly testing and improving our products to make them better but not at your expense. As a matter of fact, you can install Profile cranks from 1995 on a brand new Profile Gun Drilled Hollow bottom bracket spindle. In short, our philosophy is, if a design works, why redesign it?
