Austin and NAHBS.

Coolest bike.....Naked. I walked around the show twice, but didn't even bother to check out the booth, until Joe forced me, I'm glad he did.



Look closely. No bolts, no skewers, nothing, its from the future.





Most under rated...Cielo.

Click. All the bikes are made by Chris King, or this cool guy Buck. The green bike is sweet, I hate the color, but Chris made it and it is so good. Took 76 hours to build, mostly due to the work on the ht lugs to integrate the bearing cups, so you can you use a ht normally used for a 1" fork and use an 1 1/8" fork instead, pretty incredible! They also do a Stainless bike, frameset goes for $2400, the main thing I liked about it is how they painted it, then media blasted the paint for the decal. Check it. They are also doing a new race/sport geometry, which I want. 68.5mm drop with 415mm stays.





What's in? PF30, everyones doing it, its much better. bb30 is out.




Last thing...Fizik was there! We got to try on the shoes, the shoes fit the best. They will be shipping to me in May. 40 pairs. Come get some.








If you have one of these, give it to me.





More thoughts on riding in Austin and the show later. I've got 250 groupons to take care of.
