Here are some tidbits that just couldn't wait! Enjoy!
One On Testing A New Single Speed 29"er: One One, the U.K. maverick of the cycling world, has introduced a new single speed 29"er that is on test with them in England. Based upon the Scandal model, the new single speed features a bent seat tube to create shorter chainstays, a longer top tube, and relaxed seat and head tube angles from what the original Scandal gearie model featured. There is talk of a steel version as well. See more here on Ridemonkey.
Continental Tire Rumors: The word is "volume", that's what I'm being told about the new offerings to be coming in the near future for 29"er tires from Continental. Apparently, in order to meet the increasing demands in the 29"er marketplace, Conti is said to be "ramping up production" of at least three distinct "families" of 29"er tires to be offered in "several sizes". Check out my more detailed report on Twenty Nine Inches.
Gary Fisher "Superfly" Carbon 29"er Hardtail: The carbon fiber hardtail we saw at Sea Otter has a new name and a new color, (Thankfully!!) . The frame was seen sitting around at the Trek presentation of the new Madone and some of their other mtb offerings. You can check out James Huang's image of it on cyclingnews.com here. Expect more news on this and other Trek and Fisher mountain bike releases for 2008 in a couple of weeks.
The Pofahl Custom Is Coming! The project formerly known as Secret Project #2 is complete as far as the frame is concerned. I am to see it in person this Saturday and I should have some photos posted sometime very soon! It's looking pretty rad, so stay tuned for more on this special project!
That's it for now! Don't forget to read the post below this one, the Tioga Spyder review by Capt. Bob. Then go ride your bikes with a silly, drooling grin all weekend! See ya!
