professed: I am hearing that FRM is doing a tubular rim to be compatible with the Geax tubular tire. I doubt this is a Stan’s project, but that doesn’t mean you are not correct. We have Italian readers, perhaps one of them might ferret this out for us. Mauro?

I personally find the news about a aftermarket 1 1/8 th adapter for the Lefties interesting to hear.

This has always been the struggel of many that the well performing fork was not suitable to standard frames (or only with other brand aftermarket adapters, voiding the warranty).

After what seemed a more quiet start in 2009 (talking about major 29er innovations and news) it seems like this fall will be an interesting time for us. I am excited about the big shows coming up the next months.

Man, there is a lot of high-value stuff out there for a “depressed” market!

Interesting that many of the big outfits are looking at carbon as a viable, saleable product. As a composites engineer and a big ( as in big fan, and big guy – 207 pounds) Fly lover, this makes a lot of sense to me, despite a lot of the anti-CFRP noise the forums are generating.

I cannot beat the acceleration and climbing these machines are offering, nor the descending the new Fly 100 and others will be providing.

Sorry, just looks tres cool to me. I like how the rear triangle is braced on the drive side, not the brake – the computers worked hard on this one.
