Sorry I missed you Traci!
Sounds like you rode a lot! I didn't ride any mountain. All road/tri.
The Kuota Kaliber is the SHEAT!! OMG did I LOVE that bike!!! 'xcuse the salty language, but that bike ROCKED! And the Kuota guys were super nice!
Unlike the Cervelo reps. They were a PIA. I did ride a P3C- top o the line there. It was nice, but after the Kaliber, it didn't impress me.
On the road side the Wilier was SWEET! Nothing like a sexy Italian ride complete with Campy to rock your world!
The boys rode all mountain, but like you they had trouble finding stuff for the shortest guy in the group. Seems a lot of the riders were a size small. Bummer. Tho they did get to ride an impressive selection.
So, how did the rest of the show go? I was busy constantly! It was nuts!!
Something about the phrase "we are opening up a shop in the west valley of Phoenix" that peaks their interest, and makes them want to meet with you to peddle their wares.
Looks like our main brand will be Giant. And then either Kona or Felt (leaning toward Kona) as our secondary. Higher end brands we may try to bring in are intense, santa cruz, and/or Pivot. Oh- and QR on the tri side possible. Tho Giant has some SWEET womens tri specific bikes!
