New bikes from Felt, BMC and Fixie

Felt

Felt have been around since 1991, but from these pictures it's a shame we haven't seen more of them. But hopefully that'll change and we'll try and get one in for testing for a closer look.





Fixie

While much of the attention was on anything made from carbon at Eurobike, these intriguing bikes from Fixie caught our attention. Just look at that polished crank, and those beautiful lugs. Fixie was set up in 2003 by two couriers who wanted to put their own mark on the frame building world. Classic steel tubing and lugs, with solid and durable components mark them out.








BMC track bike

This track bike was tucked away on the BMC stand, but stood out for us. We like.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of those bars on the white fixie bike...

The really narrow ones with the pointy ends!

Saw them in CW or somesuch mag a few months back, and I think there was a website, but I can't find it anymore! I think they're German in origin, but that's all I've got to go on.

Cheers

Tom

P.s. couldn't find them on fixie's own website!

P.p.s. Found them on the German version of the site after a bit of a delve - says they're only available as part of a build-up kit.

Bugger!
