Yep. That was my other half’s favourite.

I gave my other half a Trimble to ride. She fell off and never wanted to try again.

It's good to see such a fine selection of proper bikes. I wouldn't think to go as expect to see just more of what I hate. Like the bike mags. E bikes, big wheels. And people riding them like they are BMX. BITD the mags had a wider selection of bikes??

Great pics. Love that GT full Sus prototype.

"The Ti Mega had tektro Vs, which was a bit incongruous."

Simply because they were better than any canti perhaps?

Awesome bikes, shame it was too far and logistically too much for us to have a stand this year. The saddleback bikes are bloody stunning!!! And the proto gt is another level of cool.

Well, it was mainly that, which is why I swerve these things.. but another member posted a link to a little GT video last night, from the event, which caught my eye. I’m London based, so wasn’t such a big deal.

Have to say, I was surprised not to recognise more of the bikes on display from RB. Regardless, was worth the trip, though £46 entry for the three of us stung a bit.

Well.. there are plenty of in-period Vs that would be more appropriate on a bike as rare and high end as that. Still. Nice bike

the Martyn Ashton bike is the actual bike Martyn won the 95 trials World Champs on.

That would make sense. A garage queen it ain’t. Important bike though.

The best bikes in there, I'm sure!

Do you need to talk? Did a cantilever touch you inappropriately?
