Saving The Weird For Last

Continuing our coverage of the 2009 Taipei Bike Show via Soul Cycles Chad Bonfiglio, in this installment we have saved some of the more unusual items for last. Most of the bikes shown will look familiar, but can you guess who's they are? Hit the "Read More" link to view the full article and see the photos.

Hodaka Fastrax F-DX 175mm Freeride Frame

Lapierre Zesty 914

X-Tension DH Rig. Look Familiar?

Matrix Manufacturing Full Carbon XC Rig

Merida Manufacturing FR Rig. Kinda looks like a...

More Carbon. GM Carbon's Full Carbon XC Frame.

Southern Cross Bikes.

And finally, no Asian trip would be complete without some very oddly worded names. No tool kit is complete without some Looney Max tools!

And there you have it, a little look behind the scenes of the US bike market and the "who's who" of Taiwanese frame manufacturing. If you have ever wondered where your frame came from, I am sure you can piece together some of the parts just from the pictures we have posted from this years Taipei Bike Show. Big thanks to Chad from Soul Cycles for sending us pics along his travels. Be sure to check out his line-up at www.ridesoul.com
