Bike Show 101

First, had you noticed we were gone yet ?

We are working very hard to use all the very latest intertube technology to make sure that you can't tell we are working from 5000 miles away in Taipei.

We arrived here on Monday Morning having lost a day somewhere along the journey. This is the view of Taipei 101 from the hotel window

Spent today at the exhibition hall helping the nice folks from Grammo set up their booth. There will be lots of new things including the already outed Carbon mountain fork and the F5:8C carbon /Alloy clincher wheels, seen here mounted on a secret road frame.

Can you tell what this frame is?

Send us a comment below if you think you have the answer.

It will be unwrapped tomorrow and there will be more pictures, including some of a particularly colorful concept bike from France, sporting a equally colorful pair of Grammo Factor 5:0TTs

Stay tuned for more tomorrow on the opening day of the show

007 Spy Shots

Whilst trying to stay the right side of the grey line surrounding launch dates, we may be jumping the gun, but here we have two exclusive shots of new Grammo products about to hit the US

First up the all new F5:8 Carbon/Alloy clincher wheelset:

Rim: 57.5mm Carbon/Alloy CFD designed

Hub: Grammo

Spokes: DT Swiss

Weight: 970g R , 810g F, 1780g pair

These new wheels are a true alternative to full carbon tubular race wheels, delivering similar performance from a clincher option.

We expect a small number to be available in early April, watch out for them at Sea Otter.

Second up the all new Grammo carbon mtb fork.

Two versions will be available 26" (430mm) and 29" (465mm)

Axle - Crown: 430mm or 465mm

Steerer: Alloy 1 1/8"

Drop outs: Standard MTB with Disc mount

Weight: 955g or 970g

With anodized black crown and drop outs, and premium quality 3k finish on the fork legs, these items are the first of several new products that will cross over from road to mtb.

Prices will be very competitive and we will have them first in the US, watch this space.

Early Start

They say biking is in the blood, if that is the case then this little flyer has all the makings of the next Mark Cavendish or Dave Millar.

Young master Brookes is the aiming to emulate his illustrious Mom and Dad with either sailing or cycling in his future (or both!)

Having already achieved the Green and Yellow jerseys (the throwing up phase) he is now working towards the polka dot jersey (feeding himself and throwing jam everywhere)

Watch out for this little champion in the Tour De Central Park!

That Guy!

That famous icon of the steel single speed world will be visiting shows around the US this year.

Known as a sharp dresser, and well groomed individual, his oral hygene does leave a little to be desired (claims he spends all his time riding and so has no time for regular dental visits)

Outspoken, some would say full of hot air, but always a topic of conversation.

Watch out for the Inbred man...........
