new news around here....

• THERE IS A BRAND NEW ALBE'S WEBSITE!!!
• Lots of team rider news
• Turbo had Jury Duty

Well after 353245 late night hours the new Albes.com is up and running.  For the most part it works pretty much the same it's just a way different look.  While we were messing around under the hood we added a few cool features.

1. One new feature is the ability to create "Wish Lists" of all your favorite products to save and / or e-mail to somebody you may be able to sucker into buying the stuff for you.
2. Another new feature is "Product Reviews."  You can now leave a product review about any item we sell.  We'll see how this one goes.  If we get 23423 reviews that sound like "I was just riding along and the piece of F***ing S**t fork broke in half" we'll shut that idea down.   
3. We've also updated the way you buy a custom bike.  Now you can pick ANY part and still save some money!!
4. We have a few more things in the works but it may be a few weeks before they are ready to be used.
5. The Blog has been updated as well with a new look and is a bit more user friendly.  You can now find archived post faster and on the left is a list of many of the photo albums we've made over the years. Be sure to go through them.  There are some good photos in there.  Some are even of riding.
