More elegant design and construction from Carrera the way the seat stays almost blend in to the seat tube

Carrera Hercules

"Stiff" is probably the word we're searching for here - that bottom bracket certainly looks stiff anyway

Beefy looking carbon road bike from Carrera, drops most of the usual Italian design signatures except for that integrated seat mast… sadly not a bike you'll be able to buy down at your local Halfords

Ai Caramba! The Estremo certainly looks like it means business… a bike for big strong lads and lasses

We saw lots more bikes just like this a few weeks later at the Milan show - baby blue is big in Italy for fixed gear bikes this year… come to think of it, Gary Fisher likes it too

Understated elegance from Carraro in this very fine titanium road bike

Bullitt Bluebird 71 cargo bike - there were lots of load lugger at the show, but the Bullitts added an extra layer of style to the whole process

Bullitt passenger bike - coming soon to a street near you, hopefully

Good to see someone doing a long-sleeved woolen jersey for the time of year you might want to wear one… as long as it isn't raining
