Toronto Bike Show Sneak Peak!

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.

Now, Water Buffalo Tested…

Lis was just in the shop to get her bike looked over. She is back from touring Vietnam on her take apart touring bike with S&S couplings.

The bike help up to the air travel and the rigorous tour perfectly. The only major incident during the trip – being run off the road in a collision with a water buffalo!

Damage to the bike – a scratched up shifter and paint. Damage to Lis – a scraped up arm. The water buffalo came through the incident unharmed….
