Eurobike 2014 - In Photos

now where did I put my sombrero?

retro and light

must try this, if it's any good we'll sell in the xcracer shop

so many Thru axles options, partticularly on the rear 12mm (annoyingly) ... we'll be listing the lightweight Carbon Ti rears in the shop v. soon

the carbon Tune Blackfoot crankset

Absolute Black cycle cross Thick Thin. Both 110 & 130 BCD.

Absolute Black 68 BCD Thick Thin, might provide a better chain line for the single ring up front ... limited on size though.

more of a "trail" hub, but good looking

Schurter's Windham machine

Schurter uses a chain catcher on the thick thin, mind you have you seen him over those rocks ...

if you've got the "wonga"

now that's a show bike ... tied, belted, fat with red trimmings

bike storage from Outline Works

I quite like these Tioga Spyder seats, finally they've made them even lighter with carbon rails ... not a bad saddle in rare dry conditions

a dry butt in all countries

dropping the front end on the Leftys

standard cage with hip flask slot, whiskey and coke anyone?

when the bikes are so-so ...

nice looking rigid fork

the original carbon

Schwalbe Pro core, will be interesting to see how this evolves ... might be too `£/heavy for XC + we shrub off those threads quite quickly

grippy flats, shaped like a hip flask ... now there's an idea

Would turn heads at the local sportive

the German brand's marathon racing machine

Lots of bright colours from Scott ... thought this was a KTM for moment

Absolute black lightweight rear cassette upgrades

The Cubes look the biz, here's an electronic geared one

it felt light, sub 1kg?

rasta colouring from Gore
