</td></tr></tbody></table>WENHAM, Mass. (February 26, 2007) This Friday Igleheart Custom Frames & Forks will reveal the first ever handmade fork equipped with the Montague CLIX(TM) System dropouts. The debut will take place at the North American Hand Made Bicycle Show (http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=4989757&s=122426628) in San Jose, Calif. March 2-4.

Igleheart's fork is an elegant cyclocross fork with stainless steel accents and a sweeping rake with a thin turn of the ankle ending in Montague's trademarked dropout.

"After helping with the development of this system of Montague's, I am pleased to show it off at such a prestigious event among so many of my peers," said Christopher Igleheart, founder of Igleheart Custom Frames & Forks. "It isn't everyday one can be involved with improving upon Tulio Campagnolo's original invention."

The unique CLIX Wheel Retention System (which has been a hushed project these past few years) steps into the spotlight as an intuitive, user-friendly system that brings together safety and simplicity in the same sentence. Drop by booth #205 and see for yourself how this one-handed wheel retention system works!

About Igleheart Custom Frames & Forks:
Christopher Igleheart has a long association with the bicycle. After the youthful infatuation we all share for our first means of transportation and independent adventure, Igleheart followed that passion into adulthood.

As a former shop owner this led directly to the world of mountain bicycles. Working behind the scenes for another builder, he began with forks.

A champion of steel as the superior frame material led to an intimate working knowledge of all the top manufacturers of bicycle-specific tubes. In addition, Igleheart has a vast understanding of joining together more exotic materials too. Almost a decade of stainless steel craftsmanship has led to some of the most striking and handsome embellishments to his top-level frames with this lustrous, enigmatic material.

With the resurgence of steel as a viable lightweight bicycle material and the pending release of a complete Columbus stainless tubeset, Igleheart is poised to be one of a select few to exploit these new technologies to maximum benefit.
