Here I sit close to closing time of Interbike '07 day one. And it's great. Minimal drama, lots of sweet new bike parts and friends a plenty. Check the photos and extended captions below. But before we go any further, we've got a favor to ask. Fly Bikes had a prototype cassette hub stolen out of their booth, and they're looking to get it back, no questions asked. If you know anyone that's in possession of it, you can e-mail Kevin Porter at about it. Fly is offering up a free Fly frame and fork of your choice in exchange for the missing hub, so be a doll and return it please. Anyways, some photos...
Eastern's Hot Rod Tubing: This tubing was developed by Eastern. It's multi-butted tubing, thick in all the right places and weight saving in all the places that don't need reinforcement.
