>> W.F.O. RELEASE AT EUROBIKE
We officially launched the long awaited W.F.O. 9 at Eurobike (some of you may have seen pics from the show). The frame has been completely re-designed from the ground up since our last version. The final iteration has some design features we think you'll like. The W.F.O. 9 will sport 5.5 inches of travel and work with 120-150mm travel forks. Pricing starts at $1,849. The frames will be ready sometime in March. To see a full account of how the w.f.o. 9 was developed and some industry firsts in this category, check out this link on our website (tons of detail pics, too).
$1,899.00 for the W.F.O. 9 frame with Fox RP3 and 135mm rear end
$2,099.00 for the W.F.O. 9 frame with Fox DHX Air and 150mm rear end

24 HOURS OF FUN
IN ITALY, CORBA EVENT IN CASTAIC
>> On Oct 12th we will be sponsoring the CORBA event at Castaic, CA . CORBA has been a strong force in keeping trails open to those in the So Cal area. We will have demo bikes for you to try out and items will be given away at the raffle to raise money for a great cause. See more info at
www.corbamtb.com
>> We have a cool video on our One 9 and Sir 9 pages. It is about the race we participated in Italy - one of the largest 24 hour races held there. Our Niner Bikes men's team rode single speed One 9 frames to a 3rd place overall and 1st place in their class (against other teams on geared bikes). Our solo woman (Rebecca) took her SS One 9 to a 2nd place in her class. Nice job, team! See the amazing views of the Italian coast and Steve and Chris wrenching bikes at 3am. ((please note that it is a 24-hour race, and that all interviews were given after long, sleepless hours)
