Or try the Magic apparel show, makes IB look like a starbucks with no hot chicks.
haha i walked into that convention w/ my brother when we were ripped....we looked like two deer caught in the lights of the ugly train...
dude....gee's bike was sick....what blew my mind though was how HEAVY it was.....i was expecting some uber light bike.....A few pics from this total amateur:
Gee's Bike
my bike is around 38-39.....i can see how his saint group and his tubes weigh it down.....his frame is 1 pound heavier than mine, but....it felt about 5 pounds heavier than mine.......i was shocked......
ah well.....it won the world champs....
Careful. One of the RM goons will be 'round shortly to assimilate you back into the herd. You'll be hugging your digital scale again before you know it.
youre right...no way his bike is 38-39lbs...its gotta be at least 40lbs
Yup, from what i have been told the 200 limited edition stuff will be promotional. Last minute decision.
Select non factory teams will get first dibs. 80 units of each are staying in the USA with Fox for select distribution to teams, racers and friends of fox. The other 120 are for distributors world wide to distribute as they see fit. It will be late spring before they become available to even the media however.
Cool I like the idea. I am not sure if I will be the first one in line to try to get one though.
just dont short someone a 1/2 lb of ganja when they want a full pound.
and fat chicks need love too...they just gotta pay more.

Lopes on sidis??

That's not Lopes, it's Petr Hanak.
All I saw was gray, sorry dude.
what color is their stitching, terrible? or did they change it for this year?
I was wondering the same thing, I am waiting for these to replace my current pedals.
I asked e13 and they told me August 2009
sheesh, wasnt it supposed to be November/December 2008?
Do like me and get a pair of Twenty6 - super nice pedals.
As I've said before, for a small company focused on customer service and support of their current line, getting a new product from conception to a useable prototype is a HUGE undertaking. Going from prototype to full production is leaping another order of magnitude, especially when you consider it's uncharted territory - e13's never done a pedal, and it's about as far from an 'off-the-shelf' design as you can get. All this adds a ton of additional complexity to the project.
When Dave originally mentioned they were targeting a late '08 release, I was personally stunned by the optimistic production date, but I also know he, Jonas, Michael, Derek, etc. are all capable guys. Believe me, they want to get the pedals out on the market as badly as you want to buy a pair. I'm sure they're working hard on it, so be patient; it'll be worth the wait.

Pedals are complicated, man. Lots of testing to do, and tons of parts to source - if you look at how many custom bits and pieces are in there, I'd guess that there are going to be something like 10-12 different sub contractors contributing to the final on-the-shelf product. Getting that many folks on the same page producing completely custom product is no small feat.
Quote of the year.
I took it out. Figured I had given Stik a hard enough time in other threads already. 
possibly a stupid question, but did Azonic have a display this year?
specifically looking for more information/pictures of their 2009 B-52 frame...
EDIT: found some info on MTBR. doesn't look half bad.

yeah that actually looks pretty good, I'd probably ride it. the bike ain't too bad either.
Best kickstand I have ever seen.
I'd hit it! The bike that is.
Well actually...
Well actually...
The b-52 is the same frame as the khs lucky 7. If I was going to buy one it would the the b-52. The khs booth didnt have hot models.
Upon further investigation, does that frame have an XT der. from 2001?
no chainguide nor front derailleur....methinks it's a typical "Oh sh*t interbike is tomorrow" build.
On the Staccato pedals, we are planning a Q2 2009 release, (that means April to July ish) there are other pedals that we are working on also that will be available sooner. The only reason that the Staccatos are not available now is that we have been working with riders to developing and test a couple of new ideas. We have decided to integrate those ideas now rather than wait until the next revision of the design. This pushed back production by 6 months, but we think that the new ideas are worth it in the long run.
Hope this clears some things up.

We showed some prototypes at the show, but only to riders and for non public showing. Once we are ready you can be sure that pictures will get out there. They always do..
hahThey will be available in time for next season. Distributors should have them in stock in Q1 2009.
Dave
You've got it. If your bike doesn't make it down the hill in one piece you can't win.
You cant sacrifice durability for weight and expect that it won't catch up with you. It always does..
