Here's a link to photos from the recent bike show. As always, a lot are "show bikes", that is, over the top and marginally practical. On the other hand there are bikes that are simply beautiful. I like Mark Nobilette's neat piece below. Pipe up with other favorites. We can post the pictures and vote. The winner gets to be THE WINNER.

dt bosses are mounted unusually low, i.e. they are in a good place to be used for shifting. yeah I'd ride that

yeah, there's a fitting on the seat lug, not clear in the photo. The other one must be on the bb, like a Ritchey.

I really don't like to see trendy racks and other accessories welded onto the frames of expensive bikes. Hello: is there a difference between the cute frame and the cute accessory? It's like gluing your eyeglasses to the bridge of you nose. I just think it's stupid, unless it's a big Dutch bike made out of steel plates and concrete. When custom builders do it, I regard it as selling out.

Most bikes are not racing machines. I like small racks and front bags. I don't think they are "cute"; they function. In my humble opinion, I think you're smoking dope.
dude I'll get back to you, I need a snack.
ps: I still think it's like gluing your glasses to your nose.

Damned munchies.
I like the integration. It's elegant.
Integration NOW!
Segregation NEVER!
and so forth.
