Eurobike is over for another year, and all that is left to do is trawl through my iBook's hard drive and pick out the rest of the highlights, so stay tuned all week for more reports.
Hope
Hope's new Tech lever boasts separate reach and bite point adjuster dials, as well as a new lever
A closer look at the dials reveals how you'll now be able to tune your brake levers exactly how you want them to feel
Matching exquisitely machined caliper is now lighter
New quick release levers gain a more ergonomic and smoother shape
You're not anywhere these days unless you offer a carbon lever option: Hope duly oblige
Lynskey
The Lynskey family founded Litespeed, but are now trading under their own name
Such as this singlespeed belt driven setup
You don't often see a level of finish this high
Mountain Cycle
Mountain Cycle's Fury is the one to pick for all-mountainy riding, with MC's own droppable seatpost activated by a handlebar mounted lever
The Rumble hardtail
Also available in limited run of 50 with custom Chris Burke artwork
The Shockwave gives you 8” of travel to play with
The neatest ISCG mounts I've ever spotted anywhere on the Rumble
Vicious Cycles
Vicious Cycles had the singlespeed Monolith, a standout bike. Lairy paint job, Tune cranks and matching Chris King hubs. Very nice...
