A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Hey Sean- Joanna and myself were there as well as big robbie with the dreads 8) , we got there about 10ish along with a friend and his 11 year old son and got away at 3-30 and i am sure i never saw all the stands! lots of things to see and touch- must have spent a virtual million! I spoke to a few of the sigma boys and they were smiling 8) , one said that they are doing the parlee frames and had 2 orders that day :shock: both from regular customers of theirs who are both C50 owners- did you see the parlee frame with the flame effect hanging on the wall? 8) . Over on the tri UK stall they had airborne ti frames, one of which i have treated myself to :D - i just dropped chris scarletts name ( he used to race for them b4 he became to old and fat :wink: )and they doubled the price :shock: .
On the way home we were discussing frame choices with my friends son who wants a new jump bike, he managed to find a bike which only cost 3K- joanna pointed out that this was a lot of weeks wages for his dad :shock: to which he replied you and ian seem to do allright!!!

I was there on Saturday.
My vote for top paint job goes to the Fondriest bikes with coordinated airbrushing on the carbon wheels. No, on second thoughts top paint job was the bikini-clad lady with all over body paint.

..cheers Sean, well the car got mended alot quicker than my bike did :cry:

.....I was prob distracted by those girls on the catwalk stage...those lycra's looked awfully tight!

..also re: that Parlee bike, I noticed the spokes were welded together at the crossover point, seemed a bit crude to me considering the price...but then wat do I know


Take care
Yohan
