Charge bikes blog with prototypes
Not only is Charge Bikes blog including pics of Charge riders worldwide, they're posting pictures of their prototypes for cyclists to dream on long before the bikes will be available in actual stores. For example, the Blender Titanium, "winning races soon at a 4X track near you." But there are more conventional prototypes, such as the Stove ("Take it off road for a bit of old school MTBing or just use it for cruising down to the pub") or their standard Blender ("Simply gorgeous - the new standard").
Titanium is an intensive material to develop, of course, but it does recycle beautifully, and does result in a bike that the rider is just plain more likely to use. I've had those heavy old steel-frame bikes and I've had a lovely lift-with-two-fingers molybdenum-and-magnesium-frame speed bike and I shouldn't need to tell you which one I rode more. But, oh, well, yes, it is... dare I say it... titanium is dead sexy, it's true. [GT]
