Alright, so i went to the chicago bike show yesterday. It was at teh navy peir and was a little smaller than I expected. With no camera i will have to tell you the road bikes i oogled over. Campy was not there :( and shimano only had a singe booth (8X10?) and ony have DA and their new nexus stuff. Orbea was there with a single booth (suprised me) and i must say I WANT ONE! I had never seen one upclose and they are AMAZING, the colors are soo cool! I also saw my first colango c40, which even with the paint and the groupo, i think i would have still gone with the orbea. There was a place that is now putting carbon into tandems. They had a cool X shaped pattern of fiber supports that made a really cool stripe/tiger look. The weight on that tandem, was no more then 20lbs!!!!! Di Vinci tandems was there with their tandem design, which i must say looked rather cool, and useful. The bikes that most caught my eye were the 2 custom trek TT bikes by the bike pros. The newest model (whatever it is) one had a full American flag paint job with MATCHING nimble wheels and other need things. The wheels were done after the wheels in the last olympics. The other was done with a "tequlia sunrise" paint job with ksyriums. WOW, both i think should be on a mantle and NOT on a road!. The indoor TT made me long for my bike i left at school. I think thats it really... it was cool.. i liked it!
