Here at last is the final publicity shot for the 906xc Tourer. As you can see we have chosen a smaller pedal for this bike. Any comments re pedal size? Yes I know size does not matter!!

They will be in the shops next week.

Blimey...That carbon detail looks beautiful.

Just can't imagine leaving it locked up anywhere I would be to nervous

I have to say that is a good looking bike, is it all carbon fibre frame? or is that a totally idiotic question.

Looks the business

Good luck with the launch

Looks the bees knees and the dogs danglies! Like with Eddie, I wouldn't dare leave it in the bike shed at work

"Hand built Carbon Alloy frame, Lacquered carbon finish"

its a mix...thin alloy frame covered in carbon. Having second thoughts?lol

Nah but it's a damn fine looking machine and I'm a nosey beggar. And I dooo rather like carbon fibre and titanium, it goes back to making the motor bikes lighter *lol*

It's a nice looking bike, sexy chainwheel, well done David.

I'm puzzled, if it's a thin Alu frame covered in CF, does this make it an Alu framed bike? Does the CF provide any structural component? Does it add strength to the frame?

Great finish David, should attract loads of attention everywhere.

David has confirmed previously that both the thinwall alloy frame and carbon fibre are structural, increasing frame strength over alloy only. It's already been well tried on some exotic unpowered bikes.
