Wow, that Claymore is amazing! You have to feel sorry for the Ibis; sandwiched between that and the Thok, it looks a bit plain.

I think the Claymore and the Thok are minging. The Ibis looks nice.

Does that Claymore belong to Colin at Deviate? He likes ALL the colours!

Ah, that Commencale. A lovely looking bike, but WOW! That Claymore! Yeah, many colours, but it is a weirdly nice thing, a piece of art as much as a nice looking bike.

Not keen on the eBike, but the Ibis is also pretty nice.

I think I need to head to Bridge of Allan in the morning to go and look at that Claymore.

To quote a friend from many years ago in a shop with a Santa Cruz Superlight tricked to the nines..."Do you mind if I lick the top tube?"....

Looks like somebody ate too much mexican food with too many cocktails and threw up all over a deviate claymore.

Commencal - classy, understated
Claymore - not so much

That paintjob is incredible, don't think I could bring myself to ride it!

 

Also the Ibis... in a completely different way, but I really really like that green/black Ibis, which is odd cos I don't usually like that kind of style so much, but that is one drool-worthy bike. 😍

Did anyone else look at the Claymore headtube and think "Ooh, made by Citroen"?

Is the price of the Hunt wheels quoted per pair? Feels very reasonable, or am I just becoming desensitised to the cost of carbon superhoops

They are reasonable, but they aren’t carbon.

Yeah, sorry I meant that I'm used to seeing £1k+ carbon wheels reviewed that skews my perception of good value, even when they are ally.

I like building my own wheels but I'd be hard pushed to look past them if I was in the market for some new ones.
