We saved some of the best square footage, for our last photo post from interbike 2015. Sven is going to continue to churn out videos from the event, but these are the pixels from our 4th and last day at Interbike. Remember, folks, specs and pricing may change before these bikes hit the showroom floor of your local bike shop!

Bar Mitts created a winter water bottle cage cover made from neoprene. You can’t see it in the photo, but there’s a water bottle cage inside the Neoprene cover.
