My eldest went with 5 mates. He enjoyed it, and bought a new rear trials tyre from Michelin(?) which goes for £37 but he paid £20.

I went with some mates. First bike show for me and enjoyed it. Got a few bits although nothing mega. Drooled over the Cove Hustler with the Maverick forks (just got mine a month ago but with Fox TALAS R's - mucho pleased with it, rides lovely)

Really impressed by the trials guys - amazing skills and huge b*lls too. The guy doing the double back flips in the dirt jump arena (Glen Coe) rides in Rowney Warren where my club builds the trails etc - Beds Fat Trax - an absolute loon even on Sunday afternoons when there are no spectators. We had Rob Warner there doing a shoot for MBUK last year and he was blown away by Glen...

Wish I'd been able to go, (I was in France), then I could have found the KONA stand, or their importers, and asked them to explain why a Kula frame costs $599, (£333) in the USA, while the same frame costs £700 here
