I don't know it was pretty good I thought. I picked up shoes, spd clips, shorts, bottle cage, giro xen helmet. Pretty much everything I was looking for. Saved almost $300 of msrp.
But yes there was a pile of road bike stuff to sift through.
We got our blue passes, Picked up a couple of shirts from Modrobes and cool socks for myself. A friend got a camelback and tubes at Europe bound.
Show seemed the same as previous years... no surprises. Lots of familiar faces
My favorite bike was the Intense M9 (it had a wall all to itself) Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/veggiecyclist/P1016331.jpg You know you have too much money when you can travel like this Unsecure image, only https images allowed: http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w330/veggiecyclist/P1016301.jpg Wonder how fast you can drive before the bike flies off the roof rack?

Went down yesterday, I had limited time and was looking for a new bike so didnt geet to look much at other deals. Ended picking up a 2011 Reign X2, its alot more travel than I was looking for for a trail bike ( I already have a DH) but when I gave it a test ride it felt sooo smooth so I'm pretty happy.
Now I remember why I don't go. Couldn't find alot of decent parts/clothing. Found some Troy Lee shorts that I already have. I paid $90 full pop at my LBS, they were $109-20% at the bike show.....same BS pricing games different year.
Although it was nice to get my Blue pass for only $169
Just went to my LBS 'once a year sale' and found better deals...ran into some other people that had been at the bike show too.
