Anyone Going to Cycle Show 07?

next weekend website here

i'm going to go to see the new condor range and pick me one out

I was sent a trade pass, so I'll be along for a day or so.

you can't buy anything and it costs loads of money.

i'm washing my hair.

Went to the one in Docklands last year.

You could buy stuff, but only from CONdor. And only in their bizarre walled off bit with security guards on the door.

I ended up buying stuff online from Chainreaction on their stand, as they were offering show discounts and net access.

went once in 2003.

it was shit, it always is.

the US ones are where it's at for new releases, if you're that way inclined.

it's an hour of your life that you'll never get back.

Never.

And quite an expensive hour at that.

that's odd, i honestly didn't expect RPM to shit all over this idea, i thought he'd be right behind it. ah well, you live and learn.

I shall be attending, it'll be a nice day out for me.

heh.

i'm going but only as i get a trade pass, it's not bad for an hour's window shopping without having to walk too far

yes, i had heard you enjoy entry through the tradesmans entrance

i heard you pay to watch but don't pack enough meat to compete

I went to last years and tried an A-Bike out - it dont get anymore exciting than that.

nimhbus yes, i had heard you enjoy entry through the tradesmans entrance

MrSmith i heard you pay to watch but don't pack enough meat to compete

lol

I would LOVE to spend x-hours of my life gawking at high-end roads and MTBs.

What else do you do, EvansBitch?

;-P

I tawt it was altright last year but I got in for free.. what's the damage this year? It's closer (to me) this year. Next weekend? Hmm..

I'm going to take my daughter. CTC concessions, I think, make it £10.50 adult and £7 child. Its much bigger this year apparently. Gonna go drool over Condor frmes too Nimbus, so maybe see some of your spittle?

Studiously ignore people, read magazines, ride my bike round and round in circles.

it's very easy to get in on trade day i did last year enjoyable show lots of freebies if you want them and lots of bike porn i am sure there isn't one amongst you who would turn down a free days porn is there

Seriously, do that teach that technique at bike shop school?
When I bought Mal's helmet from CycleSurgery there were two customers and 4-6 staff.
The staff were just hanging around up the back of the store while I picked and test fitted helmets.. then I put helmet on desk and had to wait while one of them trundled down to make a sale.. fsck me.. if I didn't need the lid I would've kicked over some stock and left in a huff.. cnuts.

lol

Can I have someone's trade pass, if they isn't usin' it, bluds?

I've got one you can have dude. I'm going down. Last year was pretty cool on the dirt track and getting to meet Eddy Merckx and our boy Wiggins was a plus. I can only imagine it'll be better this year. Hope they bring back the stunt-jumpers again.
