Eurobike 2013 Photo Report

Obligatoy Scott Schurter 650b

Fast looking

Cannondale Steath black - rear triangle change?

Giant really banging on about 650b, the industry really wants 1 wheel size

Giant Trance 650b

Lauf tried the tradition stick it on a pallet approach (990g fork, claimed 60mm travel)

Lauf on a bike

Italian brand FRM didn't have a stand, but sneaked a bike in

Felt

Haero

Nevi ti - nice

New Orbea Alma 29er

Open bikes

Stevens road bike

Nice looks, belt drive

with rigid lefty

Race face new carbon 500g crankset looks really good, everything splits down and is interchangeable

So good some top brands have yanked off the Sram XX1 crankset and replaced it with the light Race Face, e.g. On the top of the range Cube 29er

Talking for expensive cranksets, Clavicula 865 Euro for 465g (weight incl rings and bb - everything), price excludes rings

Ergon seatpost

Good idea, more expensive bling (800 Euro)- quick changable tri bars ... I think they had this on a traditional drop bar

V. light & comfy, Haero Marathon bar - plenty of room up front for the Garmin and light now

Still no 38t 10 speed cassette from Shimano as far as I could see. Is Sram edging ahead? - The new Sram X01 ( 1 x11) in steath black

The Specs

Vs XX1 specs

Schwalbe have a load of new tyres, more Racing Ralph than you can shake a long spear at. Here's the new Thunder Burt, 4 skids and it turns into a slick. THe Dirty Dan 2.0 new thinner size looks a super duper.

Stans are going carbon

felt light and and looked wide, not sure of the weight though

Light bling from Tune

Finally a light through axle competitor to Tune from KCNC, coming to the XCRacer shop soon

and really nice looking, feeling KCNC pumps

plus some nice coloured 2 piece KCNC rotors

Droopy uberlight stem from AX Lightness, 80g -17 degree ... don't ask if you can't afford.

Random helmets coming to a pee wee race soon

If all this stuff is too much, get a massage...

...don your Assos celebrity shades...

...& tuck into some schwine sustenance.
