Sea Otter 20 Ten: Crank Brothers

This was my second year visiting the Sea Otter and just like last year the Otter delivered. What did the Otter deliver you say? Fun, sun, bikes, new products, sweet single track and great people. Crank Brothers has been a fixture in the bike world for some time now and I am a multiple user. I have come admire this company and the innovative products they produce. Like any company they have had their share of problems when trying to deliver a new product but what they always deliver is superior customer service, at least in my experience. I was looking forward to seeing in person some of the new products CB has developed and just like last year, there they were camped out in the middle of the Otter. Find below some of the new products from CB.

Crank Brothers did not fail to impress this MTB’r. I really dig their design philosophy and really like the direction they are going in right now. From diggin a little deeper into the company I have discovered their design inspiration comes from co.s such as Apple, Bang & Olufsen, Knog, Salomon, Marc Newson and others. I dig it and maybe, just maybe, one day some of their new stuff will find it’s way on to my bike, but for now, it’s look but don’t touch.
