We thought attending the Interbike convention would be a great way to meet the industry leaders, get committments and contacts for support along with a buzz for the Velodrome out.We did meet with Tom Ritchey, Bob Roll, Saul Raisin, Dave Koesel, Patrick Smith, Dave Byer to name a few along with folks from VeloNews & Rider.
That and we saw some innovative track bikes and spoke to most of the companies that produced them.
Ritchey has a new single speed BAB road bike out. Felt, Cerve'lo (soon), Bianchi, Colonago, Pegoretti, Eddy Merckx, Cinelli, Tommasini to name but just a few had sweet rides at the show. Raleigh and others had messenger-style bikes on display also.
It was a long three days and we were exchausted at the end.
Big thanks goes to Sherman McKee of The Bike Authority and Dick Brink of Business to Business Bicycle Sales for helping us with connections. The contacts we made and the amount of support made the trip worthwhile.
Stay Tuned.....
