The "NYC influence" i suppose is evident in the Capo. The new langster is going to be more like a road bike now with a carbon fiber front fork and a more traditional paintjob (orange/coffee/brown), but it now comes with a fixed cog. It's being marketed more as an off season training tool for roadies. They are, however, designing a NYC edition langster with a flatbar and cross levers. The rep pow-wowed at our shop for some input- i told him to include a frame sticker of a "G".
Oh, and early release 2007 is a mixed bag of high end 2006 stuff they didn't sell, and early versions of kiddie and low/mid range bikes to test the waters before interbike.
C-dale rep brougt in an early release system seven. I'm not a big C-dale fan, but holy schneikies that's a light bike (even with Ksyrium ES clinchers).
So they really did to talk to some real messengers........
Im stll not sure how they figured messengers want an 800 track bike for work.
