INTERBIKE. thats it its over
Yes it was a tandem.
It was a hit at the show. The first part of the first day, people were impressed, but scared to ride it. After the first couple patrons bombed up and down the aisles, it caught on. The bike was out of the booth more than it was in it, for the rest of the show. NORA cup winner Matthias Dondois was doing spinning front wheel manuvers, and Jimmy Le Van figured out how to bunny hop it. It was wild. Good times. Thanks to Jason Ball and Neal Wood at S&M for making the frame for us.
Nuno and Jim at the dry erase voice bubble wall. It got hit up a lot, and many pictures were taken, insulting your friends.
This was impressive. Ashton (left) and Chad (right) used the incubator boxes to build that wheel from scratch! There were spokes, nipples, hubs, and rims in the display and these guys from Pedal and Spoke ltd in North Aurora, IL took it upon themselves to build that wheel using the gloves. Let me tell you, it couldn't have been easy with no screwdrivers or spoke wrenches and bulky gloves on. Nice team work.
Someone, who will remain unnamed, accidentally sold a prototype fork the last day of the show. So if you bought a Race fork from the booth we would love it back. We will send you a new fork, and something else of your choice for free. If you won't send it back, at least let us know how its doing. Kinda like Airwolf I guess.

There will be more info on stuff we showed there when we have a sec. Our boxes of stuff will be back today, so we will fill you in with pictures and info on whatever we can.
Lumb4jacks were strictly prototype/teaser. If you want em, we will make em. let us know.
The gold hubs were samples made for Mike Aitken. They may or may not become available.
We will post more, and answer whatever questions we can.
Posted by: Jim B at October 1, 2007 02:15 PMyou should make those bars. I manage a bicycle shop. I know for sure we can sell a decent amount. Im sure many other places can too.

Posted by: Ian at October 1, 2007 02:37 PMThe Dual Drive wombolts are custom just so the tandem would work.
Thanks to Jason Ball and Neal Wood for making it happen.

Posted by: IrkedCitizen at October 1, 2007 03:57 PMoh, yea. spending 25 minutes building that wheel was worth getting on the site! thanks jim!
