Interbike: Revamped road line from BH for 2009

A curved top tube adds a bit of style but also a bit of vertical flex.

  • BH has completely revamped its Connect road frame with new tube profiles all around.
  • The Connect all-round racer borrows its 320g all-carbon fork from the top-end G4.
  • BH also introduced a new women's-specific model called the Cristal which is an analogue to the Connect.
  • A curved top tube adds a bit of style but also a bit of vertical flex.
  • BH will also add a new 'cross frame to its lineup.
  • Included in the new cyclo-cross frame is an all-carbon fork.
  • How light can you build a BH G4? How does 5.2kg (11.5lb) sound?
  • BH built the show special G4 with Edge Composites' new shallow tubular rim…
  • In contrast to the Connect, BH builds the Speedrom with modular monocoque construction.
  • BH equips the Speedrom with a new all-carbon fork for 2009.
  • Blue's new RD1 will reportedly come in below US$2000 complete with its respectable build kit from FSA, Shimano and American Classic.
  • Blue ups its time trial ante with the new carbon fiber Triad.
  • The sleek frame features a tight rear triangle and an integrated seat mast.
  • UK builder Terry Dolan brings his new Arc II DF3 track machine to US shores for 2009.
  • The new rear end includes an easier-to-use round seatpost interface and beefier chain stays.
  • The Dolan stand included a wealth of aero machines including the Aria and Stryke models.
  • The Dolan Champion provides track racers on a budget with a triple-butted alloy frame and Terry Dolan's proven track geometry know-how.
  • The Dolan name also makes its way on to the road with the Hercules, Tuono and Aurora (not shown) carbon frames.
  • This bike definitely stood out amongst the sea of black and white in the Dolan/DPM Sports booth at Interbike.
  • Who says steel forks are dead? Wiggins seemed to do quite well on this one.
  • The new fi'zi:k Antares saddle marks the third major shape from the Italian company.
  • The new Tundra cross-country race saddle is essentially the off-road version of the Arione.
  • The Prologo C.One30 is just (about) that: 134g of carbon fiber for both the shell and rails.
  • Riders looking for a flatter shape can also opt for the Prologo Nago.
  • The top-end Scratch Nack uses a flexible carbon fiber shell and carbon rails to yield a final claimed weight of just 158g.
  • The more economical Scratch Pro uses the same shape as the Scratch Nack…
  • The Vertigo Nack is basically the off-road analogue to the road-going Scratch Nack.
  • Quarq has expanded the range of cranksets compatible with its innovative Cinqo power meter for 2009.
  • The Cinqo power meter can be used with Quarq's own Qranium head or with the iBike Aero or Garmin Edge 705 computers.
  • Waterford outdid itself with this musically-themed frame.
  • Waterford beautifully integrated both treble and bass clef shapes to the lugwork on this beauty.
  • No, you're not seeing things. It's the neck of a guitar.
