Bike Show at Earls Court in October

Does anyone have any views/experiences about this show?
I am considering going but have heard 'mixed' reports of it. Is there a lot to see, ie activities, shopping chances, or is it really a show for the trade looking to flog next years new models?
Any help on this gratefully recieved, it is quite a financial outlay for me I would end up paying for travel, food, entry and so on, I'm trying to suss if it's worth it.

oh, we're going this year as well.
It's mainly a trade show to flog next year's new models, but there are some activities and a very limited shopping area, if last year's show is anything to go by! That said, there is bike porn like you wouldn't believe, so if your main ambition is to look at gorgeous bikes you'll be fine.

....never have too much bike porn can you...?
it is and you are charged for the privilege of the Trade showing you the items they want you to buy ( but not at the Show)

Also, does anyone know if there's any sort of secure bike parking down there? Need to decide which wheels to use. Ta.
"Park your bike at the show, the Brompton bike park is situated in the Brompton entrance to the show.
All visitors are welcome to cycle to the show and use the free secure bike park to store your bike while you enjoy the show. The bike park will be manned throughout the show and a ticketing system used to sign your bike in and out. "

I'm devastated
Only a new Pegoretti will save me from a life left wondering what might have been...
...I'll be at the Mosquito stand tomorrow then
Only stuck it out for 45 minutes though, as the volume of people there scored way higher than my irritabitliy threshold covers.

Saw Nicole Cooke and her Gold medals and lusted after some lovely hardware.
Just luv those FELT bikes.
I was temped to buy a Rapha top, a bit too tarty for me, so in the end settled for a windproof Gore Winsdstopper Jacket with zip off arms. Vey smart and half the price.

Think you'ld have to fight to get that particular hardware off her!
I'm not really a Brompton fan but I was amazed by the £8k 'Twin Pylon' they had - all stainless steel wiry tubes.
If I could have anything it'd be the Charge Skewer I think. Maybe one day...
Or an Enigma Elite.
Hmm, or maybe a Condor Baracchi. No, a, oh censored :?
