2012 rides

[Mr Gear]

This is the thread to discuss 2012 bikes that have caught your eye. I have spotted this:

Nice spec, great review in Cycling Active, and I love the lack of graphics. I don't like anything too racy!

Since I bought this in the summer http://www.evanscycles.com/products/pinnacle/iroko... and have been very pleased with it, it would make a great garage-partner.

Although I wouldn't buy the Evaporite until Evans have done the inevitable discounting in August 2012. As a £1,000 bike, it will be just the ticket!



So, what new bikes have you spotted?

Yes, that is anodised titanium with a colour sweep. Serious case of want.

What's the make and model?

you know when you see a really fast car in the pits on a trackday or something and then when you see it again its going really slowly and the driver is way out of his depth, well that would be like me on this....
