Morning all ! (that sounds like Dixon of dock Green's insomniac brother)

Going to the cycle show at the nec tomorrow with my son & wondering if anyone has any heads up on great stands, must sees, anyone selling kit at daft prices etc?

Thanks in advance

You'll be able to get around every stand anyway without missing anything... a 'taking our time' 4 hours got us round absolutely everything today that we wanted to see as roadies, including stopping for good while at a few stands where we wanted to really quiz people on a few things.

Oh, one thing people were pointing out though is Energy Drinks and Recovery Drinks will all be subject to 20% VAT from Monday onwards so its worth picking a bit up if its something you use a lot of.

I suggest not drinking very free sample of energy drink that's going though or you will come out feeling a bit sick

I went today and no real discounts anywhere sorry.

It is really was an "eye candy" show, in particular the "Colnago" and the "Pinarello" stands.............

I could post some photos, but it is hardcore bikeporn :shock:

It was a great show to get your hands of stuff and touch and feel the stuff you usually only see in catalogues.

And as has been mentioned above, a great chance to ask questions to the manufacturers directly.

Nice show but nothing special really.

A quick note... anyone buying zipvit stuff, wiggle have offers on all the bars cheaper than at the show, zipvit weren't selling their drinks I dont think and Zipvit ZV1 drink is down to £11.89 a tub on Wiggle.
