    The film was a feast of detail, a perfect celebration of great craftsmanship. But, but, but, Michael, you cheated us too. One needs to see each bike in it's entirety in a way which shows the riding position it offers. Bits of a bike all lead to the posture a bike invites you to adopt as you ride. What is that posture?

    As someone especially interested in the stately sit-up bikes in the classic European mode, its essential for me to see the whole bike, not to guess at it.

    Now, I realize that what I ask might have been hard in that cluttered envt. of the show, but towards the end you did offer an almost whole bike shot or two.

    I believe that sit-up had a key role to play in getting non riders onto bikes, that they fly a different flag, that they say to the Mum on the sidewalk, the guy in his car, "come ride with me." Mike Rubbo

    I agree with you Mike, although as you noted it's often impossible to get a good side shot of the bikes in this environment. Some of the manufacturers set things up in a way that would allow this, some did not. Additionally, with the crowds in attendance on Saturday when I visited the show, the ability to stand off and take nice side shots of individual bikes without people blocking the view was nearly nil.

    For a fantastic photographic overview of just about every single bike at the show, check out the blog at urbanvelo.org. They set up a small studio in an adjacent room and ferried bikes in for photo sessions all weekend. Wonderful, perfect shots that should reveal everything you're looking for.

    Oh, is your URL wrong? The one listed above doesn't exist, but situp-cycle.com seems to work. is that you?
