Hi

From anyone who has been in the past couple of years is the show worth visiting?
Are you able to have a go on the latest bikes etc or are the queues ridiculous? Can you actually buy parts/clothing/frames etc there or is it just a whole load of display stands and a token gesture bike world celeb (Hoy, Pendleton and the like) who turns up to promote a book or product?
Constantly trying to upgrade my parts.It is a long road ahead as things are so expensive for little gain. n+1 is always the principle in my mind.

    Mainly just stands to look at, and not a huge amount to buy. If you don't live in east London I'd not bother. It's ok for a couple of hours of poking around, but it's just a glorified showroom.

    + some other bikes.

    There were more retail outlets at Excel in January than at the NEC last month.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
