There’s no direct selling at the show but the hooked-up PCs on Chainreaction.com’s stand prised credit cards out of a lot of wallets so, clearly, not all the 5000 visitors were members of the trade.
200 were said to be members of the media, said a statement from Cycle 2005’s press team.
The apple giveaway was to promote the launch of Selle Italia’s Sportourer brand. This uses images of big fat green apples in its promotional literature. Sportourer teaser ads featuring just fruit and no saddles or mentions of Selle Italia appeared in the last two issues of BicycleBusiness. The brand was launched at Eurobike but no orders taken because there will be no availability until January at the earliest.
Selle Italia is distributed in the UK by Fishers Outdoor Leisure and other suppliers. Sportourer is exclusive to Fisher Outdoor Leisure. The Magnetica saddle features magnetic suspension, mag-lev technology for 12mph not 200mph.
