My Interbike Photos On Line

I put up my pictures from Interbike at
"http://nordicgroup.us/interbike2008/"

These are photos of things that interested me the show. Obviously there
was a lot more to the show than this. I wasn't interested too much in
the fifty or so booths selling their sports drinks and sports nutrition,
nor was I interested in $200 headsets or $1000 wheels. My interests are
more along the utilitarian aspects of cycling.

Any info on "The Dahon/Ritchey full size dissasembleable bike"? Is it
coupled like an S-and-S'ed bike?

And are those mid-fork front rake mounts on it?

They use the RITCHEY quick release mechanism which is probably a bit better
than the S and S couplers in my opinion. Tom pretty much refined the idea to
it's ultimate format.

Photo captions reads:

Mirrors make a comeback as shopper and roadster bikes become
more common as the Republicans destroy the U.S. economy.

No, it's got it's own system. It's been around for several years.

See "http://www.dahon.com/us/tournado.htm"

I don't remember looking for those, but I'm pretty sure it does include
the low-rider mounts. You could call Dahon after the show and ask them.

Except the Ritchey system connects the two parts of the downtube with
a tiny little collar and one Allen head bolt. I trust the S&S dowtube
coupler much more.

You should see the new Dahon mid-tube folding mechanism, called LockJaw.
It's awesome, and very stealth.

I have a Montague folder with a stealth folding mechanism as well,
"http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1998&Brand=Montague&Model=Urba n&Type=bike"
though it's around the seat tube, not mid-frame tube.

Tom is using that mechanism on a Cross bike which sees WAY more rough
treatment than a road bike and he hasn't been getting any failures that I've
heard of.
