The
London Bike Show is the UK’s largest cycling exhibition and attracts thousands of visitors each year, all eager to check out the latest bikes and gear. Held at the prestigious Excel convention centre in the heart of the London Docklands, between Canary Wharf and the city Airport. We headed down to check things out and here's a selection of random bikes and gear that you can go and see for yourselves if you're heading to the show this weekend...

That said, it was also highly advantageous when you're running around a bike show and need a sugary pick-me-up!
The
London Bike Show continue until Sunday 14th February and packs more than just shiny new bikes and gear. We'll have a report from the Air to the Throne dirt jump contest, which is kicking off on Saturday, early next week, but if you're at a loss of what to do and can get to London this weekend, what are you waiting for?

Basically, Pinarello, YOU SUCK!
I think this is the only aceptable instance such rate would be justified.
So if someone cares to do the math.
I gotta good buzz tonight but in a world where we put value on the latest and greatest and everything that follows tries hard to follow suit in order to be a part of the fad and have value, a new look is refreshing.
Previous HT's weren't too bad but this is just baffling
I'm off to buy a cyclocross bike with a suspension seatpost so I can hurt myself properly.
On a side not say "Onda Curve Asymmetric" again motherfunker I dare you! I double dare you!
Although Dogma put a lot of effort in this project I think that only target group for their product are Hipsters. Frame looks nice thought
Nevertheless Dogma is not my cup of tee I'll admit that Italians still produce things that looks gorgeous. It's like with old Alfas: you wouldn't buy one but looking at the thing is pure pleasure
Seriously I have a floor, and make a mean Elk burger!
Cool? I'll msg you with the deets!
As for clearance, actually making the seatstay out of steel means it's a much smaller, narrower section than it would be in aluminium, and the pivot for the droplink is a flat 2mm thick head to keep it narrow. Paul who works here is a horrendous in-heeler when pedaling and does rub the chainstay a bit, but doesn't catch the seatstay pivot or any of the seatstay strut. We do think about these things, honest!
Also, is the exciting news about Superstar that they'll ship to the US?
Check that stem out! Almost as long as the fork!
hahahah and on the1st pic of the "Hungry?" section: looks like a weed testing attraction from far
i have bookmarked the video link so i can show others it for a good laugh. the seat post clamp is pure comedy and as for the nonsense about the lower shock mount point i cant help chuckle about that one what with all those extra bolts. Can someone please explain to me how having all that screwed into one side of the bottom bracket (a press fit i might add) and side loading that is preferential to not just having a conventional shock mount on the actual frame...
Painter-yellow should have named their bike the karma..
the ad video did remind me of a late night infomercial.

★★★★★★★★★★★
The pinarello seems to be missing a pivot on the rear end for example. And has some sort of little red bar between the seat stays which I can only imagine is some sort of stiffener. Which doesn't look like it actually helps much. The Cotic's got some weird shit going on at the seat stay/dropout pivot. The MRP Raze on the Banshee is interesting. Just a few things a nerd might have mentioned...
And yes, tyre is spelt with a y....
