Today four of us made the ride to Toronto to the bike show. I took 5 pictures of some of the more exotic triathlon bikes that I saw there. As you can see they are also very colorful! Great looking bikes and being a beautiful sunny day out really made me feel like taking one of these bikes and going for a nice ride along the lakeshore! I am sure that today was a great day for all the businesses set up for sales today.
The Glacier bikes are fairly new bikes unto the scene. The people at the booth were very nice and full of excitement for their bikes. The Dura-ace bike is fairly new to bike frames as they are better known for their bike components. The Argon 18 is a very slick bike indeed. On this model is wireless gear changing, very cool. I think in a few years that will be the norm. Big fan of the Zipp rims as well. The flashy blue bike is a Specialized. I find Specialized an interesting bike with the top tube being on a slight downward angle towards the seat post. Never ridden one but would love to try it out.
Lastly is a new Quintana Roo set up with SRAM rims and components. Quintana Roo was the original triathlon bike maker but over the years have fallen behind to companies like Cervelo. But in the past couple of years have made a comeback and if this bike performs anything like the way it looks, they may have a winner! Did I but one? Sadly no. But I did buy some very nice Specialized bike shoes at a big discount and a biking bib for $10! Also a pair of sunglasses with interchangable lenses for $25, regular price at $50. So great deals there if you can find them and know what you are looking for.
My friends bought lots of stuff as well. Two Specialized bike frames, bike shoes, bibs, bike shirts, two bike trainers, and sunglasses. Busy day of spending money for we all had fun. If it is as warm tomorrow as it was today I definitely may try an hour ride outside for sure.
Happy riding!
