Eurobike Gallery: Pro race machines on display

Spain's Jose Antonio Hermida rode his Merida to fourth place in the Olympic cross-country race. He, like many SRAM sponsored riders, opted for the XX1 drivetrain on his machine. Photo: Nick Legan

Tom Boonen's Roubaix-winning Specialized Roubaix is on display in the SRAM booth. The 303 Firecrest wheels are becoming very popular for rough roads and cyclocross. Photo: Nick Legan

Perhaps not the most popular Olympic gold medalist, Specialized is still proud to display Vino's Tarmas SL4 at Eurobike. Photo: Nick Legan

Jaroslav Kulhavy used his Epic 29er and SRAM's XX1 group to win the first Olympic mountain bike race on a dual suspension. Photo: Nick Legan

Kristin Armstrong rode her Felt DA to her second gold medal in the time trial. The custom paint and de-logo'd wheels are pure Olympic carbon goodness. But it's doubtful she rode this bike in London. At the very least her chainrings were changed for the show as she was aboard Rotor rings during her dominating ride. Photo: Nick Legan

Germany's Adel Morath rode a Felt hardtail to 16th in the women's Olympic cross-country race. Her bike featured some very interesting wheels. Labeled Shimano, but with carbon tubular rims, they are perhaps a prototype or a custom wheel build. Photo: Nick Legan

Nino Schurter was massively disappointed with his silver medal in the Olympic cross-country race. His 650b Scott Scale still has the dust from the London course on it. The Swiss rider used SRAM's new XX1 drivetrain with its 1x11 chainring/cogset combo. Photo: Nick Legan

Orica-GreenEdge started the season with a bang thanks to Simon Gerrans' win at Milan-San Remo. Scott displays his team Foil. Photo: Nick Legan

He may not have captured the overall victory at the Giro, but that didn't keep Canyon from displaying Joaquim Rodríguez's Aeroad CF. Currently, "Purito" is trying to win the Vuelta a España. Photo: Nick Legan

Ryder Hesjedal won Garmin-Sharp's and Canada's first grand tour at this year's Giro d'Italia. On road stages, he rode a Cervélo R5CA, in a special pink livery while in the maglia rosa. Photo: Nick Legan

Lizzie Armistead rode her Cervélo S2 to a silver medal, winning the U.K.'s first medal of the Games in London in the process. Photo: Nick Legan

Peter Sagan's Tourminator Super Six Evo is on display in the Cannondale booth. Photo: Nick Legan

Marco Fontana rode his Cannondale Scalpel to a bronze medal in the men's cross-country race. He used a single chainring with an XO Type 2 rear derailleur. Photo: Nick Legan

Schwalbe tires displays this Radioshack-Nissan Trek, but it's a bit of a mystery. The Tour of Oman No. 1 plate for this year's race went to Mark Cavendish. No. 11 was Andy Schleck, but he rides with a slammed stem. So, it would appear that this pro bike is a bit staged. Photo: Nick Legan

Austrian Olympian Elisabeth Osl finished the women's mountain bike race 15th, same as her bib number. Her Ghost bicycle is valued at 10,000 euros and weighs in at 7.2 kilograms, roughly 15.9 pounds. Tune lightweight goodies are sprinkled around the bike for maximum weight savings. Photo: Nick Legan

AX Lightness showed off Swiss Olympian Katrin Leumann's Ghost mountain bike. It, like the Ghost of teammate Osl, weighs a claimed 15.9 pounds. Photo: Nick Legan
