Condor Type 1LC 'Racing' Edition Bike

My 'iconic' bike of the 2012 Cycle Show Exhibition.  Using the distinctive black and gold imagery of the Lotus racing machines of the 1970's - Condor have done a great collaboration with Lotus cars to create this beautiful special edition bike.  I managed to get some decent images off the nice folk at Condor bikes to share with you on the blog.  Enjoy!  If you want to buy one, £5,200 of your hard earned can be spent here.

10 Cool Bike Pics

One things was for sure on the recent London to Paris event, there were some serious bikeporn on show, I estimated at least €1.5M of products in the bike racks.  Picking up my Onix RH Pro on returning to the Esher, I whizzed round and snapped a few of the bikes hanging up.

Specialized S-Works seems to be the chosen weapon of choice for many of the group one and two riders, with Mavic Cosmics in the main as the hoops.  Here's 10 machines that caught my eye: -

S-Works belonging to Peter Klein

S-Works belonging to Nick Peregrine

S-Works belonging to Kevin Wright

Ex-Footballer Geoff Thomas - Onix RH Pro

Stoke Mandeville entrants running some serious bespoke hand-cycles

World Paralympic TT Champion Colin Lynch's Cervelo

And last but by no means least, here's my Onix RH Pro which performed brilliantly over the three days.  The BB30 bottom bracket and Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels led to a really good ride over the three days.

I do have 50mm SRAM S60 wheels but opted not to ride them due to the unknown of the weather across the three days.  Seems that was a good choice as the 50km/h gusts on day two meant most riders running deep section wheels were being blown all over the road.
