BMC track bike, very nice
Love or hate? We are beginning to fall for the BMC,
but are as yet to see one built up
Ooooh Seven, pure precious metal
Trek showed off this fantastic looking TTX
Bontrager carbon frenzy
Trek are offering special paint jobs, this being a cool
women's bike
Highly sought after Bontager carbon wheels
Time may has lost Tom Boonen to Spesh, but their bikes
are still French Chic
Mavic Cosmic - looks good on any bike (and fast)
More French cool with this Look 595
Good enough for the French track team, note the steel

Even we might go fast on this Look track bike
The Specialized TT/Tri bike - the Transition
We loved the paint finish on the TT/Tri bike - we were

Carbon De Rosa - the Idol
More Idolatry
Top of the range De Rosa Protos
It might be carbon, but the Protos hides it well
OK, we were drawn back to the Seven's
Youth rider Ant Anderson declared this Isaac Aerotic

Ant is right to rate this bike as it shouts speed -

The F313 is the latest entry level carbon Pinarello
Can you tell the E313 from the more expensive Paris?
Steel rocks - the Colnago X Light
Colnago's carbon monocoque bike made in the Far East,
but no worse for that
The super stiff and Italian made Extreme Power
Extreme Power with its carbon lugs - purrrrr!
Steel lugs on the X Light - chrome of course
FSA new shallow drop carbon bars
Um, we went back to the Pinarello stand, swoon
Kimberly Kabatof amazed us all with her new silver Paris.
It was the show stopper!
Sadly Dan Duguid wasn't at the show but his London Cross
League winning Specialized was
