Pics of Swiss bikes
 
I was recently in Zurich for a week and noticed a lot of unique bikes on the streets. I didn't recognize any of the names but it seemed they were Swiss-made. Although a few featured a cruiser-style commuting frame, many were good-looking road frames. Also often featured were Nexus hubs of old and new make. Anyways, if you have pictures of Swiss made bikes post 'em here.

Ok, that's fair. I was hoping for more of an everyday type of rig. Although I suppose those posessing a Swiss bank account consider that their commuter bike.

Seriously though, I did see a few high-end and commuter-style BMC bikes, but for the most part the names were all Swiss (or German?) and I did not recognize any of them.

things made in there cost more and they can't compete in the world market, so they don't get exported much.

I have heard that the BMC Time Machine isn't as aero as it is made out to be. Quite expensive as well, but it sure looks nice. :D
