Interbike 2007 Report 3

By
Reports are starting to come in from the show floor.

We start off today with a good number of pictures from the Fixed Gear Gallery. They are, of course, focused on the fixed/singlespeed/commuter world. Some of products they highlighted were:
  • Cool weather gear from Gator
  • Teschner and Colnago all carbon track frames
  • Fixed bikes from Kind, Felt, SE, KHS, Kona, Co-motion, Salsa and Rocky Mountain
  • Some very sweet looking wheels from Formula
  • A Human-Powered System design competition sponsored by SRAM

BikeRadar.com's Gary Boulanger filed his first report from the show:

  • A new commuter oriented brand from Quality Bicycle Products called Civia
  • An integrated time trial/triathlon hydration system from FSA/Vision Tech
  • A new wheelset from FSA's offroad brand Gravity
  • New models from Lynskey Performance
  • An extremely versatile bike from Ibis called the Tranny
  • A new all-mountain bike from Trek called the Remedy

Cycling News features:

  • A less expensive, more comfortable new model from Cervelo called the RS. It is said to be very similar to the excellent R3, but with a slightly taller head tube and a slightly relaxed rear end.
  • Revamps to several of Titus' most popular models
  • For those seeking a little bit classier look to their bike (or shop from the Orvis catalog) messenger bags, panniers and baskets from Brooks.
  • More unique and urban messenger bags from Knog.

They also are rolling out a new time trial/tri saddle called the Tri-Tip. This is very similar to the Toupe, but with a longer and wider, slighty more padded nose. Tires: Specialized grew their tire team this year and worked with long time advisor Ned Overend on a new line of mountain bike tires. This year sees the introduction of the Control line, with S-Works, Captain, Armadillo and S-Carve models. The S-Works tire was designed to be lighter while increasing cut resistance.  The Captain is an all around tire, while the Armadillo is focused on overall d...
