Sicklines.com did a killer job of covering our booth. Far more comprehensive than pretty much everybody else, they actually photographed individual items!

Sam Hill's Worlds Bike
...I'm pretty sure the one in the first pic with the Bronze/Orange ano Funn handlebars is the one he rode on race day to take the win. The second one could be a back-up.
Dig the cool white plastic/composite bits on the LG-1. Pretty sweet

yep, there were some good storys told my H-ball and tomac.
Has anyone seen a full size picture of the Rotec G box bike?
didn't pull it out of the booth. but i did try and lift it!
all i can say is it was not for me.
i've got a full picture of the rotec, i'll post it up soon
We had Tyler Hamilton's Mt Washington special edition Parlee at my old shop for a few days as a favor from Parlee. A 12 pound road bike is INSANELY light to ride. I took it out for one 30 mile hill ride and was terrified the entire time....
Name tha chain & grips on the Indie. Then name the headset lock & pedals (make & model) on the Skyway. Man, we're dorks!10 points if you can name the seats on those two bikes.
Some details on the Rogue shorts & cool black patterned jersey.
Attachments
Chain: Tioga (I think)
Grips: A'ME Tri's w/ Flite Donuts (I ran 3 on each side at one point)
Headset Lock: Epoch or Scura?
Pedals: Shimano SX's w/ the pins that wore out in about 4 rides
redical - name the artist that "drew" my avatar
Dude - I was nearly certain that Haro, for sure, had a paint job just like that too. I forgot about Skyway's bike, but that is a perfect match. It's still awesome retro. I'd kill for that. I'd want the fork to be different, but it is sweet.The chain? Haro and GT looking?
I don't like the blue chain.
ODI Mushrooms.chain:kmc
headset lockuntour lock up?
now name the grips on the skyway.
I believe the chain is a painted version of the Acmes. We used to be sponsored by Acme when I rode BMX for Ralph's Bikes in the 80's. They had alternate fat links, but fit a 3/32" width racing sprocket. Yes, the grips are Ames. The headset lock is Suntour. The pedals are SX's and yes, they did suck. They had very dull molded pins rather than screw-in pins. I do not remember the artist who drew your Avatar, but I know he is Radical Rick from BMX Plus. I have one of his old T-Shirts hanging over a window in my garage.
There is a cruiser in the shop with California Lite red checked pads on it. It brought back some good memories.
OK - here's the Haro I was thinking of.
It's been a long time so forgive me.

...ouch..Beartrap pedals. I have suck hideous scars on my shins because of those things...
Acme eh? I still have a ACME Chain patch somewhere. They were a local company (Westfield, MA) for me BITD. It could make sense that IF is using an ACME chain as they could be pretty common in that part of MA. I don't remember a painted version of them - unless IF painted it custom. They were very cool looking chains but for some reason I never ran one. I prefered the Sedis Sport 3/32 chains.
I should have known the headset lock - it was real early in the morning
Come to think of it I don't know if Scura even made a headset lock...Ralph's Bikes - that some really cool stuff. They had ads in the mags and a really good shop team too.
Sorry, wrong on the artist - think Wizard Publications not Daisy/Hi-Torque. Oz has some good stories of him on Joe Kid on a StingRay.
i remember colored chains back then. but i beleive the chain is a new kmc because they had the colored chains at interbike. but i could be totally wrong lol.
Interbike was fun:

YEah Ralph's was the ABA # 1 national bike shop team forever! He even made a frame called the Hustler (ugly though).
Your Avatar was kind of small to see. Not Radical Rick, but it was drawn by Bob Haro. My brother does some publishing work with Oz's daughter, Wendy Osborne, up in Monterey.

Full sized version. Nope not Haro either but on the same super-human level. He worked with Mark Lewman and Spike Jonze on Freestylin' mag after winning a drawing contest for BMXA.
Yeah, Natch #1 ABA was big. I raced NBL (east coast) but knew the ABA was even bigger. I remember the Hustler - funny name and kinda ugly like you said.
No sh!t about Windy working w/ your bro! She took some incredible pictures BITD. There is some living legend heritage in that family.
The prize of that avatar is that SOIA is still killin' it after 20 years.
haha, I'm not surprise you got it. I'm thinking Andy was just after redical's time or maybe redical was more of a racer. I thought Andy's drawings were amazing. I used to copy his style all the time.
As far as prize - let me see if I have an extra issue of BMXA laying around. Like an idiot I sold all my old Freestylin' magazines years ago. Andy had some fine artwork in them.
BTW, do you remember a Drew Jenkins from Maine. I race him in the old days (he was pretty friggen' quick) and from what I heard he was a hell of a rider in the early - mid 90's
Drew? G-damn if it's the same Drew Jenkins that lived in PA from the 90's on, then yeah I know Drew. I raced him in Superclass a few times... he beat me more than I beat him, but I proud to say that I could even hang with the guy. Super smooth style. Heck, he won a number of Superclass races when he was still racing. Actually, one of my fav riders was Drew. I haven't seen him in quite a few years, but some of the guys down at POSH say he still comes there.
Well the Drew I raced with would be my age (35). Back then he was fast and I don't remember anyone smoother. He ran a #1 ME (Maine) plate around '85-'87. I figured he stopped riding but then saw his name in an old vid (S&M's BMX Inferno I think) and mentioned on a thread on Vintage last year. I'm guessing it has to be the same guy - the northeast is pretty small, and I don't think there were that many silky smooth Drew Jenkins around 
Anyone know why the ambulence and firetrucks were out front of interbike during breakdown?
I think DW's brain caught fire or something.
