We’re at the London Bike Show at the ExCel Centre today to see what shiny new stuff is around, and after a good od browse we've picked out some of the bikes that grabbed our attention. Check out the gallery above and scroll down for some of our top picks...
New stuff from Mango Bikes
Mango are under new ownership and have been reborn since going into liquidation last year, and the ethos of the new Mango is sticking to what they do best - namely colourful urban and singlespeed city bikes. This frame is actually supposed to be on their Level 2 single speed model, but was accidentally put together with gears so is a complete one-off! Mango's various steel and alloy commuters come in at impressive price points, with most of them coming in at under £500.
Team Sunweb Cervelo S5
We've got one in for test at the moment, but here is the Cervelo S5 in all its pro team glory. A full Dura-Ace groupset and deep rims and Team Sunweb colours add up to a super stunning rocket ship of a bike.
Cervelo P3X
Another from Cervelo, this time the sequel to their barmy P5X tri bike. The P3X has a revamped front end that is supposed to be easier to adjust and pack for traveling, and it's also a bit less pricey than the P5X in its various builds.
Ribble CGR AL e
Ribble have expanded their e-bike range with two new options that use the Ebikemotion hub-based motor. As with their 11kg SLe e-road bike, you wouldn't think the CGR AL e was an e-bike at first glance. Full story on eBikeTips.
Rose CPTL
Described by Rose themselves as "a marmite bike", the CPTL has a unique top tube design and has a belt drive for low maintenance simplicity. It also comes with mudguards, a built-in rear light, kickstand and a classy Brooks saddle with matching bar grips. This Retro model comes in at £2,729.
Cannondale SystemSix
Cannondale's long-awaited aero road weapon dressed with Sram's new Red eTap AXS groupset and deep carbon rims... what's not to like? Our first ride review of the bike is here and you can read all about Sram's new 12 speed groupset here.
Coco-mat wooden bikes
And now for something completely different... these wooden bikes from Coco-mat are really surprisingly light, with the two-speed version coming in at just 17kg. They also come in 7 speed, and there's an e-version of their Odysseus too.
If you fancy going to the London Bike Show over the weekend head over to their website to pick up tickets for £10.
IIRC Dutch researchers found that generally banning bikes or removing bans on bikes from pedestrianised streets usually either made no difference...
I think you'll find that you'll only go to jail if rich people are losing money from it.
He's not there to fill air-time (that's Kirby and the other one), he's there to use his expertise to give good insight into the racing. And he's...
Maybe a bit of PPE?
Thanks for the review. I like that Orbea have included aero extras and wish more manufacturers would stick two fingers up at the UCI - at least in...
Excellent - I think I'll replace my emergency tube that is a real squeeze to get into the little Topeak bottle cage bag thingy....
I enjoyed this guy I captured with his hound on New Oxford Street a few years ago.
I know this is a bit late but one thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the extra wear and possible damage to the cycle lane surface due to being...
*bursts back into the room hours after the conversation has moved on*...
Damn, that sucks. I generally feel pretty relaxed with my bike on Avanti trains because the compartment is locked and I don't have to worry about...
