Heading up to this year’s Cycle Show at the NEC in Birmingham? Running from 25-27th September, it’s got loads of the big bike brands on display and is bound to have something that interests you.
We were there yesterday (24th September) for the trade and press day, and roamed the halls to find some of the best bits for you. Here’s what we spotted…
The JA Townsend ‘Original’ Light Blue
Yep, it was the massive 100-tooth chainring that caught our eye initially – but the history of this steel-framed track bike is pretty special too. It was built by John Albert Townsend in Cambridge to mark the new centenary in 1900, and remains in the possession of the family to this day.

It originally featured wheel rims made from cane – can you even imagine how that rode?! – which were updated to steel rims with pneumatic tyres in the 1920s.
De Rosa SK Pininfarina
The glorious outcome of a tie-up between two high-end Italian designers, the SK draws on De Rosa’s bike building history and Pininfarina’s design chops – famously responsible for some of Ferrari’s greatest cars.
Displayed at the Cycle Show in stealthy black (also available in blue and black, red and black, and black and red), the SK costs £3,000 for frame only.
