The Cycle Show returns to the NEC, Birmingham for the second year and once again it didn’t disappoint. Although it is no where near as big as Eurobike or Interbike, the Cycle Show is the best event for cycling enthusiasts in the UK to drool over next years products, and a few concept ones. Plus, if you go on the right day, you may even get to meet some true British cycling heroes. Rudy asked if I’d like to get some images from the event and I was more than happy to oblige.

There was plenty of stands with some interesting products but for me the ones that really impressed me were Condor and Specialized. The 2013 Condor range looks incredible and the guys have done a wonderful job in design. Plus, true value for money. As for the 2013 Specialized range, stunning. The design team deserves some major props as the 2013 range is by far the best looking range they’ve done in years. I’m not 100% that all of the bikes have been revised when it comes to geo & spec but I know a few of the top end frames have been altered and I imagine that the changes will only be beneficial. Overall the event was really enjoyable, as it is every year and at £16 (on the door) you can’t go wrong. It’s worth it just to pick up bargains like a Catlike helmet for £45 or a pair of Oakley Radar for £60. Be sure to check it out next year. Angus Sung
