Another Sea Otter is in the books. We saw lots of interesting bikes and components at this year's show, including Ellsworth's redesigned Truth, a booth full of vintage GT mountain bikes and a new Maxxis tire designed by none other than downhill legend Greg Minnaar.

In addition to these highlights, there were a number of other items that caught our eye either because they were stunning or because they left us scratching our heads.

Take a scroll through this gallery for a look at some of the weird and wonderful things we saw at this year's Sea Otter.
