Yep, I am going to the fair tomorrow to drool over all those new&flashy toys.
:D:D
There's an expression in german: an egg-laying wool milk pig. :cool:
That's what I want. A bike that does it all: a comfortable, superlight bike that fits perfectly and that I can use for at least tris and road rides - i.e. would like aero bars - i guess the extension to everyday bike / crosser can't be met but....

Ha! Good luck with that! I can only imagine....
so tell us the german word.
We're having bike swap tomorrow, like a giant bicycle garage sale!!
i'm going; yes.
Eierlegende Wollmilchsau!
Try to pronounce that !!:p
Ideas for the perfect Frank-n-Bike:
I was thinking a frame like the Surly crosscheck (fits everything up to fat tires and fenders) - and then aerobars and the flippable seatpost from cannondale (could keep my Look Ergostem-that slides up to 6 cm). Plus Cannondale's silk road suspension fork. Plus maybe an adjustable-angle headset.
Would look horrid. And get heavy.
so don't believe anything I am saying, I won't waste that kind of money.
that's CUTE! thanks
So this was a "new" event, not too many exhibitors but most of the popular brands were there.
What struck me was that none of them had a trainer where you might try the bikes. Not one.
The one guy (Roy Hinnen - former Pro with his own line of bikes) who advised me best allows test rides.
Imma try this one:

This is an aluminum frame, Mavic Ksyrium wheels, and Ultegra SL groupset. Plus aerobars ;)
The cool thing is these nokon cable housings he uses, that allow to hide away the shifter cables.
