So I am officially covering interbike (specifically the gravity side of it) for Ridemonkey.

What do you guys want to see? Anything in particular at dirt demo, the indoor show etc?

Rode past Ibis HQ today, they were packing up the U-haul with their stuff heading out for Interbike. Everything was in boxes except for a couple Mojo SL's and a Tranny with what looked like a new Marzo 44. I wish I could have been hired there to at least sweep the floor... Haha.

Coverage of the SRAM booth please. Most of the big stuffs info is already out but I want to see more.

... well, now that you ask...

EDIT: Pat reminds me: I definitely DON'T want to see pics of dudes wearing spandex and cod-pieces dressed up looking like the cop from the Village People... or chicks getting their rack buffed and painted to look like they're wearing a shirt... don't get me wrong - boobs are awesome in every way, but there's go to be something like 3 million other places to find that stuff in the internets... but then again I-Bike is near Vegas... ahhh... a lost cause.

:biggrin:

Some nice close ups of the new Turner DHR would be great.
The new POC (?) armor and helmet offerings, if there are any present.

Thx.

The RC4 fox stuff is 2010. You won't see anyone but factory teams on it until this time next year.
Ok but Fox seems to have a different calendar than the rest of us. Thought it would be out some time next year since it was on display at Eurobike and looked very production ready.

According to my guy at fox, it will be out Sept. 2009 for the public. It is currently still under development, with no one but factory teams on it until late summer. The media isn;t even allowed to try them, with supervision, until spring.

And ya, their calendars are confusing over in Watsonville.

If you could slip over to booth 5057 and score some pics of the new Knolly it would make me very happy.

My Fox guy says something else. It's 09 and tomorrow/today we'll see the first 09 out of the box bike with it spec'd as standard. Look forward to it ;)

Currently sitting in my room at the Palazzo.

Also to the fox guy, RC4 is 2010. Quote from the head of Fox's Race Development Program "The DHX RC4 will most likely be raced on exclusively by factory teams in 2009."

I'm really looking forward to this show. I fly out tomorrow. Maybe I'll post some pics as well, but I'd say your all much better off with Transcends' photography ;)
