Interbike ’07: Road Stuff

Section head text.

Perhaps ‘jaded’ is not the best attitude to take to a trade show. After I got home I realized that I had a completely random sampling of stuff from the show. So here’s some shots of road bike stuff, I have no idea why these bikes made it and others didn’t.

I rode the Litespeed Archon. It’s very nice. The ugly wrap tubes must be working.

SRAM Red, just like Force and Rival, is a very simple system. That’s why it is so light and will probably work well for a long time. If you carefully look at the cutaway model in action you can see how it works.

is rediculous. None of these bikes would hold up after 2 years of hard racing. Very nice but not practical unless you have an unlimited budget.

Any pics of the Blue Competition Frames?

For an $1800 frame that bike is dope. Plus if you go to there site they offer up to 50% off ($900) as a team sponsor.

Sweet!

BikeNut in San Francisco has a Storck (with Record, Tune brakes, carbon wheels with flat carbon spokes etc.) that they claim weighs 12 pounds and costs $18,000. Could that be the one? or were they just trying to get me out of the store?

Can we see a pattern here?

Indifference is cruel!

No love or hate for the Cyfac? Schmalz must not like the paint wrap, but looks pretty sweet to me.
