Alphafly. You have any insight on the new On?

Hmmmm...gonna race in them this weekend?

Yes, he’s racing in them.

But from what I understand, it’s a 1 of 1 production run. No plan to bring to retail.

Will he be in the ON Cloudboom Echo 3's?

According to this video there will be at least 8 pros wearing them. Good looking shoes, they are currently limited release.

From what I understand, he’s in a 1 of 1 shoe.

Sure but 1 of 1 in what sense or to what degree?
- custom colorway like Kristian's golden Asics
- custom fit upper
- full custom shoe with plate geometry and foam geometry customized

These can all be considered 1 of 1 but are very different things

Iden switched to these a few races ago, if I remember correctly. He has also been training in them for a while. I remember he said in a video that he is testing shoes leading up to a recent race and then went with ON. So they must work for him, given the strong sponsor pull he must have right now.

in the 2 saint george training videos from Mikal he was running asics
at PTO open Alberta he wore nike
track training with lionel he wore crocs
not sure about Bergen world cup

That one.

Not Crocs. Some Van style type flat shoes. I thought he’s going to run with Alphafly 1 or 2, but On must have offered him a good money. Matt Hanson, Josh Amberger are two famous athletes with On. They didn’t work for me but quality is amazing. They outlast all my other shoes.

I’ve noticed Giant logo is replaced with a sticker that says HJCKPE(?) something like that. Is he no longer with Giant or the other side still has Giant logo?

I think it (kjempe?) is a giant from a Norwegian fairytale, or it is giant in Norwegian, its on one side of the bike

Is it KJEMPE? I think that is Norwegian for Giant and he has it written on his bike.

He who understands the WHY, will understand the HOW.

‘Kjempe’ is Norwegian for Giant.

Do you know if they have done the same for Matt Hanson?

I do not. But, editorializing, I doubt they have.

This. Also, it still says "Giant" in English on one side of the downtube

I think it's hilarious that the winner on Saturday will probably be riding a frame that's 10+ years old! My money is on Gustav who will be riding a Giant Trinity. Talk about a frame that has withstood the test of time. Love it.

Didnt he get the deal cos they make the bike in the same country as his lucky cap?

They're effing hideous. They are not "good looking".

And possibly a bit boring?
