Interbike was this week and reading all the reports and looking at all the pictures coming out of it reminds me of the good old racing days.

This thing is a trip – it’s Mike Curiak’s prototype bike. In 2005, Curiak won the 350-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational setting a new course record in the process. This bike was built to help him in the extreme endurance race.





The downtube is sealed and it can hold up to 1.5 liters of white gas. The tube can be pressurized via a Schrader valve and then a camp stove can be run directly off the bike! He used it to cook food and melt snow for water.

Pretty interesting.
