Wish I could be there, but I'll be racing in Michigan!

Have a great weekend and give us a great RR Sunday!

I'll be racing Sunday. I love your bikes. Soooo sweet.

Thanks!
make sure to check out the new Spider FRO

Beauty! But those XC rigs don't rev my engine as much as the 5.5 and the 6.6. Are you guys going to come up with a 29er all mountain bike? My obsession with biking started with bombing downhills, climbing has more recently been an acquired taste.

5.5 29 er is on the way

NICE!

I'll be racing (despite my apparent inability to keep the rubber side down while offroad <sigh>.) Alas, I won't be on one of your frames (but maybe we can work out a deal when the new 29 5.5 comes out <grin>.)

Any sort of a deal for STers on this frame?! I think I applied for sponsorship through Sponsorhouse, but I am still seeking my bike sponsor for the XTERRA season. I think Orbea is shuffling it's feet and I'm getting a bit tired of waiting!

I'll be in town for the weekend and will check out your booth. I've been waiting for a Turner Nitrous frame now for over 3 months and was told it's looking like it's at least one maybe two more months. Thought I gave myself plenty of time and that I'd have it for this weekend but alas, I'll be on my Klein hardtail instead. How quickly can you guys turn around a small FRO?

Paul, at the risk of this sounding like your works inbox, I was wondering if you guys are likely to have any of your dealers demoing FROs or VXPs at Richmond. IT is proving rather difficult to demo a Sprider over here. I thought I had been sucessful when I contacted Skyline at Glyncorrwg but they haven't any built up. I was intriged by the thought of ST discount too, but want to ride one first.

We have an ongoing offer on sponsorhouse for grass roots team. Feel free to apply. The discount is pretty good. It runs through your local dealer. Spider XVP and Spider 29ers are in stock and shipping. The FRO is scheduled for early June production and there are quite a few on back order already.

Not sure if we will be in Richmond but if you are going to be in the states for a while. Competitve cyclist has a demo program where they will ship you a demo bike and apply part of the fee towards a future purchase

Paul, I appreciate the link, unfortunately they will only ship to the billing address on the credit card (which is understandable). I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you or a dealer will be in Richmond. Incidentally, how much more fragile is the FRO compared to the XVP?

I've wondered the same thing....the FRO has a limited warranty compared to the XVP, correct?

carytown bicycles is a dealer. www.carytownbicyclecompany.com and we can ship them a demo bike. The FRO uses super light Easton tubing. I tell people that if its going to be your everyday bike, get the XVP. If you have a bike you ride everyday and just want a race day machine, get the FRO

That sounds like a good plan, Paul. It sounds like I would be better served with a XVP, of course if I fall in love with it then I may well end up with a FRO for race days!
