Cross bikes
Along with track bikes they are slowly becoming as important as the road range, they are getting lighter and flasher this year and Colnago’s cross C50 is so indulgent – for the mud plugger who has everything…
 De Rosa, certainly looks like one of the finest |
 A closer look, mmm lovely |
 Belgians do good Crossers… here’s Ridley’s Crosswind |
 Colnago’s C50 cross |
 we tested one last year and they still look the part |
 even more so in full carbon |
 it’s very light and well finished |

Track bikes
Like TT bikes everyone has seemed to created a track machine and many carbon rear ends now come in track version so it’s easier to make a aluminium track frame. Full monocoques are also all the rage.
 The Montello carbone Track. Words fail me |
 Eddy’s carbone ain’t bad either |
 De Rosa’s elegant and oversized Merak |
 Ridley’s Damocles Arena is business-like and… |
 …VO2’s carbon track bar. Meaty. |
 The Guerciotti track |
 With neat carbon rear end |
 …San Partrignano also have a handbuilt carbon monocoque |
