First time in Vegas, First time for Interbike. It kind of sucked. Flight left from KC at 7:00, woke up at 5:00am, flight delayed 1 hour, arrived in vegas at 10, walked to interbike from airport, walked all day, saw a few cool things but most of it sucked. Then I had 2 choices. Go to the XTR shimano party where there were some "good looking hired servers," or go to cx vegas. Obviously, I chose the latter. Didn't have a way to get but Yakima saved the day. Free bus ride to the race(stocked with tecate/modolo, then had vip pass to the yakima zone, free qdoba, free sierra nevada, free mantes ride. Sweet.
Focus Mares Team now has force with fsa crank. New color, still $4300, CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
Pinarello Paris in Sky.
Fizik Shoes, not a working mans shoe at all, not a "pros" shoe at all, guess there made for romantic getaways in wine country.
Focus Mares Pro, $2700, all ultegra. The finish is awesome. In fact, on most of the focus bikes, they did this crazy two tone deal where 1 tube is matte finish, the other gloss, looks real solid, I want one.
Dropouts on the new basanova. It is a $1000 fast steal commuter bike. Disc brakes, cx/road geometry, very cool.Click here for more.
Beatniks from Jamis, $370, very nice.
D29 Team, x0 10 speed, amclassic wheels, $4600.
D29 Pro, $3k
Paris Complete with red/fulcrum 1, $6k, not bad at all.
Met the nice people from Swrve, this is a new windproof winter cap, it is nice, I will be stocking these for sure.
I can't talk about this one, just can't.
Favorite color of the Paris, BoB, with campy.
The race was probably the most exciting I've seen, even more than nationals. It was almost like a crit. Driscoll got off the front early and maintained a 20-25 second gap the whole race. With half a lap to go, the field started to get going good and Johnson/Powers couldn't slow them down. Eventually this guy from france won, I think they said he was a 4 time national champ, right at the line, kind of exciting, but also sad.
Trebon Leading up the hill, looks strung out.
OK, really strung out.
At the start.

Yakima Mantes, I heard about this all day, it breathes fire, goes up and down, and you can dance on it.
Final Lap, trebon trying to bring back Driscoll(he's in the background), Click Here for more.
After cxvegas the bus took us back to the expo center where I began walking, walked for about 15 miles all around, then stopped at mcdonalds, wrote up 2 preseason orderds(mcdonalds at 2am is a trip in vegas), then walked 20 more miles until 5 where I walked to the airport. Definitely wore the wrong shoes for this trip, will know for next time.
I figure I walked about 60 miles between the airport, the tradeshow, lv, and back to the airport. Hip is sore but feels fine when I road my bike this morning. Just hurts to walk.

Ghetto Tubeless.
See the cut up inner tube? Dude used This. Just add water to it and it will seal up the holes. I could not get the tire to burp with 25psi in it and everyone knows raze tires are not good tubeless.
