2008 Bike Show Wrap-Up

March 13th, 2008 David

Despite the massive snow storm, we had a great show this year. Attendance was good, given the awful weather. We had a lot of interest at the booth - my throat is still recovering from talking myself out. Here are some pictures of the booth and the bike we put together for the show.

Sneak Peak #3!

March 5th, 2008 David

This is likely the last preview I’ll have a chance to post before the bike show….a bit of a teaser this time. If you want to see the rest of this bike, you’ll have to come by our booth at the show!

Sneak Peak #2!

Here is another preview of the Toronto International Bike Show bikes. The bike is a custom Ti road frame with a carbon rear end. The titanium main tubes are shaped and butted. The bike is built up with full Dura-Ace, FSA OS-115 stem, Salsa Pro Road Bar, carbon seatpost and a Flight Max Gelflow saddle. The frame is matched to a True Temper Alpha Q CS20 full carbon fork.

Toronto Bike Show Sneak Peak!

March 4th, 2008 David

Here is a sneak peak at one of the bikes we will be showing at the Toronto International Bike Show. The bike is a 29er hardtail with a handmade OX Platinum frame, eccentric bottom bracket and a gusseted down tube. The frame can be run as a single speed or a geared bike, and is built around the Pace (now DT Swiss!) RC-29 S80 80mm fork. Currently the bike is build with a full XT build including the new shadow rear deailleur and the soon to be available XT level Shimano 29er wheels. The bike is finished of with a FSA K-Force seatpost and bar, FSA OS-115 stem and an SLR saddle. The tires are the 29er Hutchinson Pythons, run tubeless. The bike will be seeing duty over the summer as a demo bike, before heading off to BC to race in the BC bike race under David Dermont.
