Damon Madsen (Priority Cycles) shows us a bike like no other at NAHBS. Damon has built a full carbon fiber DH race bike. This is a prototype bike (currently dubbed "Dinero de Almuerzo") and is Damon's first full carbon fiber bike. Jerry Vanderpool from Hippie Tech Suspension is the racer and will be racing this across the country this year. We'll see if Jerry can earn his lunch money!
Full Suspension is Priority Cycle's specialty and they build with aluminum and steel as well as carbon. If you ever get a chance to meet Damon, ask him about building with Lego!
