Our new Interbike gallery is online now (courtesy of our good pals at Singletrack). Marvel at how Independent Fabrications can make carbon look like wood (check the carbon/flex world bike from Schwinn for more fake wood action), be even more marvellous if it actually was wood… if not very rideable. For a fat-tyred view of the Interbike action head over to Singletrack. 
Check Look’s new ultra-lightweight Zed crankset, just 360g and claimed to have a stiffness to weight ratio that’s double that of Shimano’s Dura Ace. Their new 596 TT bike is a bit of a looker (didn’t mean that honest) too. 
If you like ‘cross bikes we’ve got plenty including: a the new Ibis carbon ‘crosser – with just the cutest little Handjob cable holder; a Speedvagen with a cool Evel Knieval paint job, that Independent Fabrication Ti/Carbon beaut, and a very pretty number from Raleigh USA. 
There’s also Bradley Wiggins’ Dolan track bike in World Champ colours – at first we got our wires crossed and thought Bradley himself was in Vegas too (which doesn’t sound awfully wise). He wasn’t, so of course no-one had seen him. Still, follow our reasoning: party animal + Vegas – minus sighting in show hall = yeah, he was probably there. But he wasn’t. More Interbike pics here 
Oh, and we’ve got more pics of the Cervelo P4 behind what Chipps reckons was the most reflective bit of perspex in the world. They only deal in superlatives at Cervelo. That integrated bottle on the P4 looks nifty, but is it dishwasher safe? Wouldn’t like to think of the world’s top testers and Ironmen all going down with food poisoning in a few months time… 
More Interbike craziness (plus some touches of beauty too)

I'm glad I had my trousers on. If I hadn't I might have been arrested.
Who was responsible for organising the prizes on Bullseye? Tonight's star prize was a luxury fitted kitchen. How are you supposed to split that between two contestants? Absolutely ridiculous.
Oh sir! sir! Johnnys riding his bike without a helmet, he’s going to die when he falls off!, Yes what a silly boy he is ! Anyway jump in the car we’re going to be late for school and I hope no one gets in my way especially bleeding cyclists!! I wonder if AI will see what fools we are..
It's more about the nomex suit, car helmet and five point harnesses (with HANS), but "reply" ain't what it used to be...
'Gotten' ? The word is 'become', as in, I have become sick of seeing 'gotten'.
OK, all the stuff I said elsewhere on this thread in defence of helmets, I take it all back. I'd sooner be seen as an anti-lidder than be associated with that heap of steaming ordure.
Exactly my thoughts. A real shame, they're amazing bikes, same as Islabikes. Really sad to hear the news. Having said that, we probably didn't do enough to help them. My son had one Islabike and two Frogs, all second hand that we resold for about the same amount.
I couldn't agree more, and when we have all that everywhere I might think about leaving off the helmet, but until then if I have to share the road with huge fast-moving chunks of metal, many of them piloted by persons of limited intelligence and even less self control, I'm going to keep the lid, which even Burt agrees can "probably" offer some protection from injury.
And the irony is that helmet promotion and mandation kills lots of people and they don't reduce the death rate of cyclists. The benefits of cycling vastly outweigh the risks, and helmet promotion and mandation deter cycling (the only proven effect) so those deterred lose those benefits and die earlier.
I see Mont Pythons upper class twits have been replaced by male anti helmet twits who probably ride under 10000 km/year while wearing bike gloves, ladies bib capris, power meters to register the watts they dont produce ,gps because they are easily lost on a tiny island, a mobile phone to call the wifey in case the ride gets too hilly or wet or fast or windy, all while complaining their tushy hurts. They always ask for proof..you could crash a few times on purpose without and with a helmet and send us the pictures. Do pros complain about helmets?..if you rode in a country with sun you would know that styrofoam actually keeps your head cool.. Ps ice hockey players say they dont need mouthguards..ask them to smile
