The Beatstick is something of a departure for Independent Fabrications. It’s a proper jump/street bike, with absolutely no pretensions to doing anything else at all. Whether you’d dare to risk the paint job by riding it in the manner for which it’s designed is open to debate, though.

A bit more detail from Calfee’s one-off bamboo tandem – this is the twin-carbon-crown, bamboo-legged fork. 24mm dropouts courtesy of Maverick. And yes, those are leather grips.

Bern’s BMX helmet has a bijou peakette to do a similar job to wearing a baseball hat under your piss-pot. Although it does look a wee bit gymkhana.

Proof that the carbon-fibre trend has reached all areas of bikedom – this is Fetish Cycle’s carbon-tubed BMX frame.

Close-up of the Curnutt rear shock on the Foes 2:1 DHS Mono. With a 2:1 leverage ratio and 9in of travel, you need a big shock, and here it is. Titanium coil spring keeps the weight down.

Fusion’s courier bags have all the usual stoutness and waterproofness that a good courier bag should, with the added benefit of a built-in solar panel to keep your phone or MP3 player charged up. The photocells they use apparently maintain efficiency in low light, so while you won’t get as much juice on duller days you’ll still get something.

This year’s must-have bike-related lifestyle accessory – coat hangers made from rims and spokes. The manufacturer also does a conversion kit so you can recycle your own worn-out rims.

That Independent Fabrications 953 track frame in full. Shiny.

Kryptonite’s latest cable lock includes an illuminated barrel to help you find the keyhole in the dark.

The various Pacific brands now have ranges of electric things attached to them. GT has a bunch of scooters, Schwinn has sparky cruisers and Mongoose has this MXish device.

Not content with making Hanger Banger derailleur/dropout protectors and CNCed replacement dropouts for various bikes, North Shore Billet is branching out into cranks. We can’t help thinking that perhaps the crank market has moved on from CNC machining, what with forging (and some finishing machining if you like) being a better way of going about things, but we could be wrong.

PDC’s Solaris DH frame combines a funky shock linkage with a chain idler pulley.

As well as the modded and polished XTR cranks, this Niner sported very shiny SRAM Juicy brakes.

The Rocky Mounts tandem carrier is adjustable for length (you can even put a solo on it if you like) and has a neat swivelling/locking fork holder – you can secure the dropouts first, then pick the rest of the bike up and stand the back wheel in place.

Rotor’s adjustable ovalised chainrings.

Ultimate has branched out from workstands and now also supplies handy digital scales ready to end those “my bike’s lighter than yours” arguments once and for all.
