Interbike 2009: TT Bikes

Photographer:

 The new trend this year in TT bikes is the inline stem/top tube, first introduced (I think) by Giant. Regardless of how much drag is reduced by eliminating the trailing edge of the stem, the result looks seriously badass and all bikes without it will appear sad and antiquated in comparison. Giant and Specialized up the ante with nose cones as well.

But the most innovative bike by far was the Storck Aero2, with built-in carbon brakes that operate like leaf spring V-brakes. With the cable attachment point so close to the pads, the arms don’t need to be ridiculously beefy for the brakes to feel firm. There’s no reason why this technology can’t cross over to road bikes, that is, except for the fork’s $2000 price tag. The complete frame/fork/aerobar set will go for $10,000, comes in only 2 sizes, and is Di2 compatible only.

remorse for some retard that actually thinks: Goddammit there it is! Thats why I’m slow because I am lacking that thing right there! Just wait until I show up with this biatch next Sat.

Honey, ah, did you need a new purse?

Dude that’s the future of your bike whether you like it or not. Parts like brakes/derailures will soon be integrated as such. I guess you haven’t seen all the concept bikes that are being designed for the past five years, its coming whether its faster or not, mainly because it keeps it all together and sleek. Design, its getting there.

In the near future they will have a water bottle mount where the DI2 batter is. The mount will then include a mount for the battery pack.

The Wiler still looks illegal with the “tooth”.
Was that a Sub 9 in the Ridley? It did not fit with last years model.
The Guru and Focus look antiquated by 2010 standards.
With all Giant did, they couldnt figure out how to hide that front brake? Seems to defeat everthing else they have done with the nose.
The brake wires on the Stork look sloppy, but I can’t afford $10k an incomplete bike anyway.
Did you see the Trek? I know that is blasphemy in these parts, but AC and LA’s TT bikes in the Tour looked the cleanest of them all.
With Gratitude,

Personal injury lawyers normally have poor reputation particularly in major
cities. In 25% of fatal motorcycle crashes, the motorcyclists crashed into
a fixed object like a telephone pole or a concrete abutment.
In most of the instances, the reason for these accidents is the negligence and carelessness of one of the two parties involved in the car crashes.

Focus slam dunked it for the road but went out to lunch for the TT effort. I differ on the Storck comment – I like some of what they’ve done. Giant and Specialized bikes look a bit clunky compared to what Scott and Storck drew up. I think Scott pulls off the concept a little better (minus the kick ass brake resolution). Storck’s front brake assembly is genius (losing the spring), the rear brake, however, needs a little work. The lines arent as nice and in my opinion perhaps looks like a assured future of dirt collection.
All in all, I am not convinced that any of the new TT designs this year are better looking aesthetically than BMC’s Time Machine TT01. Nothing touches this set up(still) and I would take that rig over any of the bikes posted here. (sorry)

According to Cervelo, who also were not present, there is no appreciable drag reduction in the wind tunnel by moving the front breaks from in front of the fork. Not sure what Stork accomplished with their front break setup other than raising the price further with over engineering.

Itis very easy to become a Xango distributor, especially if
you have friends thatare already interested in Xango
juice. It really is house into the Barnegat Lighthouse also called Old Barney
made back in 1859. Millions of copies have been sold since the World War II era, and it
is just as popular today.

“一剧两星”提前发威,中小影视制作公司面临淘汰。近日有报道称,作为电视剧市场的风向标之一,24日在北京举行的中国国际影视节目展与往年相比已呈现出一片萧条局面。业内专家认为,从之前的“一剧四星”到“一剧两星”,电视剧市场将进一步两极分化,拥有资金和实力的大型影视公司会获得更多市场份额,中小影视公司将面临淘汰。

 

 

 

对于电视剧播出量的持续大幅度下滑,艺恩咨询分析认为,主要是受到政策与市场两个因素影响。政策方面受到“一剧两星”的影响,导致很多上海宣传片制作公司比较审慎;市场方面则是受到观众对精品剧的追求,导致电视剧公司纷纷提高电视剧制作成本,降低产量。因此,2014年的上半年也是一个崇尚精品剧的半年。

 

 

 

企业宣传片制作公司触网意在大数据。昨日,爱奇艺与华策影视联合宣布,将共同出资成立华策爱奇艺影视公司,为爱奇艺自制剧以及围绕进行游戏、电商等全方位衍生品开发。同一天,华谊兄弟新媒体与腾讯QQ达成战略合作平台“星影联盟”,意在扩充基于手机QQ的粉丝经济。在视频企业通过资本合作补充内容短板的同时,影视公司则通过互联网公司的数据分析来布局未来市场,并利用网络渠道扩容娱乐产业。

 

 

 

而影视公司频频触网,最大的目的还是变现“粉丝经济”。有资料显示,在国外的粉丝经济中,超过40%是非版权、非广告类的延伸品收入,而在中国,这一比例不到10%,粉丝经济中增值服务和衍生品的商业潜力巨大。

 

 

 

五大上市公司电影业务惨淡。除了长城影视,Aè‚¡5家以上海企业宣传片制作为主的上市公司,电影业务普遍“欠收”, ä¸šå†…人士认为,国产电影票房较为倚重“粉丝经济”运营模式。对此,中投顾问文化行业研究员沈彦哲表示,“粉丝经济”过于依赖明星效益,一旦类似柯震东吸毒被捕的事件发生,甚至可能对粉丝经济造成毁灭性打击。华谊兄弟的电影、电视剧、艺人经纪和品牌授权等几大支柱业务,同比悉数下滑,电影业务以近七成的跌幅居首。

 

 

 

上海影视制作公司尚未做大做强,华谊兄弟意图通过电影为支点,来打造全产业链尚有一定难度,若不能平衡好业务之间的发展策略,甚至可能丢了西瓜捡芝麻。”沈彦哲称。华谊兄弟的风险是电影票房不及预期,产业链布局进度较慢。

上半年,光线传媒以13.7亿元的电影票房领跑,但电影业务收入仅为1.94亿元,同比下跌43.89%,光线传媒在半年报中称,主要是对《爸爸去哪儿》的投资比例较少所致。

 

 

 

为补齐电影业务短板,斥资1.8亿元牵手郭敬明的最世文化,意图加强《小时代》系列电影的合作,但上半年,电影销售收入仅为64万元。华策影视总经理赵依芳曾向《每日经济新闻》记者表示,由于投资的影片《归来》尚未入账所致。“华策影视在《归来》上的投入在5%左右,即使上半年入账,贡献也不大,《小时代3》应该会为华策影视下半年带来较高的收入。”

 

 

 

柯震东等明星吸毒被捕,有可能拉开国内影视内斗,或有更多影星被举报,这将对较为倚重粉丝经济的国产电影票房产生不利影响。

 

 

 

继42家经纪公司在北京联合签署《北京市演艺业禁毒承诺书》,表明“不录用、不组织涉毒艺人参加演艺活动之后,8月26日,中广影视携手十余家影视公司也发表联合声明,称坚决拒用涉”黄赌毒“明星。业内人士认为,这将成为行业风向标。
