Mountain bike companies are just now hitting the second generation.  The kids that grew up riding real ATB bikes are now the age to make a difference on our sport.  It is much like the BMX companies that are mostly rider owned.  As these small companies grow, there creative sides tend to show through.  Interbike is coming in about a week and the cost to have a booth inside can be crippling for a new company.  Some people would rather spend there money in advertising and some have found a loophole to the whole deal.  Transition bikes did it last year and now they are adding a couple more rider owned companies to the list.  They have an offsite condo that houses there own splinterbike.  They have carved a piece for themselves off of the interbike log.  This unfortunately is by appointment only.  Deity has joined, along with Canfield Bros., RockGardn, and Spectrum Clothing.  All these guys will be showing there products in a relaxed environment with refreshments easily accessable.  Just a glimpse at what rider owned companies can and will do to make things fun.

Note:  The NEW Blindside from Transition is now available.  Just call to book your order now. g.h.y. bikes………800-979-HUCK
