Let the drooling commence, pics to follow
Bike of the show for me was the Cotic CX bike, and meeting forum dwellers too, pics when I get home
watch yer camera, [b]crazy-legs[/b] got his nicked there yesterday 🙁
I'm off on Sunday. Do they have, like most shows, a load of stuff they sell off at the end of the cycle show?
There's a small retail area but not much else for sale, shimano musettes are everywhere though,
I could have easily lifted someone's 50d left on one stand unattended
I'll be there tomorrow, i'm so exited i'm gonna burst 😐
The Pace stand was the nicest I thought, nice singlespeed and nice steel hardtails.
more likely that things will get stolen by the security and cleaning staff than anyone else
i just don't get exhibitions like that, i work at too many of them. the few i've been too out of choice have bored me senseless.
walk round looking for the fittest promo girls (aka booth bitches)
fill pockets with free stuff
that's about my limit
It's actually boring, plenty of fixies, electric bikes, few new bits. Good deal on subscription though.

is that an admission ?

Not much going on then? Not to take anything away from the Cotic.
i was there yesterday. got hangover from hell today 🙂
Yep I was pretty unispired by it all too. Having said that I've been going to bike shows for some years now. Good to see more BMX there this year.
Highlights for me were Emily on the Pace stand, the BMX rad doods showing off on the ramps and getting lunch at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen (about 200 yards on down across the road from Earls Court).
Oh and the product for me strangely were those funky coloured bike hanger made from plastic.
jedi, did you get the hangover with the best 'promo girl' there and also a member of this forum?, she told me she had the hang over from hell too 😉

rocketdog - any prices for the cotic cx ?
I really enjoyed it. Chatted to lots of nice people, saw some cool kit, got some freebies and met Alberto Contador and got his autograph.
Also watched the new Cotic Soda being built up.

A pretty good day out all in all.
it's not going into production......so far (unless a lot of people take an interest) it's for their female team rider as she'll be racing CX in Belgium and Cy did this as a one off, so no idea of price
You missed the early world-scoop shot of the frame, and Cy with no pants on.
that soda pic, is that Gordon Brown in the backround?
what were you doing with your other hand Brant to shake the camera that badly? 😯

Good to meet you. Nick was looking a little rough this morning.
The highlight for me was meeting Mark and the rest from STW*
*they promised some help with Big Bike Bash this year
WCA, how did you sneak rudeboy in on the 'trade' day~?
hard at work

new soda - is that the model without noodle flex ? 😀
excuse me but what colour is that anodising ?
Good to meet most of the people we met, some not so good!
Not sure what to make of the show tbh, there were some nice things there and some tat too.
That Pace SS was one of the nicest bikes I've seen for a while.
ooooooooooooooooooooh.......
hope in bronze 😀

😯 😕 8)
where are the women
hiding from the pervy snappers
Yeah I liked that Pace, the chroming on the stays is a neat and practical touch, good to see there was a hanger for a rear mech on it 😀
does the PACE SS have a bashguard fitted ?

ziggy - is that a guard fitted - i think it is, right ?
And your point is?
❓
no point - just interested in the fitment of a guard on a SS....... 😐
excuse me but what colour is that anodising ?
Bumsmoke I believe is the correct name...
Rd, tWas a pleasure although you did catch me having an Essex moment. 🙂
