  • Great show really loved it perfect on a lot of levels only minor gripe LMNH's over priced and rude service £4 for an indifferent sandwich you do not know the contents of pushing you luck a bit. Luckily the rest was just superlative from all the stalls only having calling cards and not masses of literature you never read to being able to meet Mike Burrows and Chris King in person great.

  • Yeah, excellent show. I went early yesterday. Who got awarded? Loved the two Sparrow bikes.

  • Patrick the guy behind Atomic 22 was a fine fellow. Mathias the guy behind Mawis bikes is someone I've been in contact with about his scooter exhausts for years without realising he was a titanium beast, great to finally put a face to his scary thumbs, even if I did forget to take any flicks of his creations :(

  • And hai to all the people who said "DAS" or "nice hat" as I strolled around, lots of stealth forumers.

  • .
    Met up with Spudger and a really good there today. The setting was first class, no complaints.
    The bikes on display fantastic, certainly a growing industry.

    My best bike Ravens Cycles (The metallic green one).

  • sparrow cycles

    lug work then salt eroded steel
    don't know how thin that makes the tube but lovely undulating effect / embossing

  • Been holed up in the anti doping room the last few days doing studio shots of the bikes, today I'll be wandering round doing reportage for the event.

  • Doping will be out of control shortly

  • Genuinely lovely to see so many familiar old faces at the show yesterday... Very high OG count... If you haven't already been, go!

    You'd think they'd leave some in the room for me.

    OGs were all over that muhfucka!
    Great show in a great venue. There was serious amounts of porn on display.

    However, much as I love LMNH they can do a chevron with their prices.

  • Great day out.
    Saw a lotta cool stuff.
    Met some lovely people.
    Spotted a few forum faces.

    I think I've convinced myself I'm gonna do a frame-building course now.

    Great to see you dude. And yeah LMNH were taking the piss. They weren't even giving exhibitors a discount.

  • my set of photos, probably a lot of crossover with Sumo's, but hey:

  • See report on show featured at www.lcc.org.uk.

  • Was a great show. props to the organisers. I made the trip over from Bristol to check it out, was great to catch up with a som old OG forum faces. Spotted you sneaking around,TS, but didn't get the chance to sa hi.

    Had a great chat with Darren Baum. Top guy. I was set on a Pretorious, but now Baum is up on the list too. Also considering a Talbot if I decide to go steel... The TIG welded Donhue is also nice, but no info online about pricing or availability as yet.

    Look forward to next year!

  • yeah really good show.

    enjoyed it more than the bristol one tbh.

    Talbot Frameworks were the standout bike for me.

  • Enjoyed this. Lots of nice bikes but thought the highlight was the 14bikeco 14r

  • Wish I'd been able to make it to this show. Sumo, your photos were great, so thanks for that

    Aren't you a bit young for a mid-life crisis bike?
