Me and my other Love

I'm Dave, live just outside of Hull, just recently got back into biking to increase my fitness before i join the RAF in October, the gym isn't as much fun as getting out and riding! Agreed?

Full 6" sus all mountain is a bit much for what i do atm, but as soon as i'm posted somewhere its coming with for some fun ...

Cannondale P'2:


Got some Pana Fire XC's to go on, just waiting till the sun dissipates and the rain begins.

Edit: Oh and the old ride.

My steed

Hey, I'm Ian, 26 on Tuesday, from Aldershite, Hants..

This is me (my brother in the background, not wearing his lid.. tsk tsk), on the way home from a ride last month:


And I ride this:

2003 spesh epic comp, but upgraded (includes an s-works carbon rear linkage, new chainstay, and nothing is from 2003 except the frame!)

Edit: New beast


I generally ride around the Surrey Hills, and do the odd Brighton & back runs and soon to be doing an SDW run..

Anyway, if you see me out on the trail, stop and say hi!

Hi folks,
i'm Mark, 37 and living near accrington. Been riding on and off for a bloody long time and still unfit and can't jump for toffee
My current bike is a Norco hardtail. The pic shows it in it's road set-up as i'm training for the manchester blackpool ride at the moment, But it would normally be on full travel, have a bash guard instead of a third ring and have high rollers on.

Been riding bikes for quite a while but never had enough money to buy anything decent until this year.
Currently riding an 09 Specialized FSR XC COMP with upgraded front forks to Rockshox REBA Team 2009 with Pushloc which are fantastic. So responsive and so light.
Thanks to everyone in the forum who gave me advice on buying them!

The top of your rear wheel is exceptionally clean haha :P

Thought I would join in

Im Dan, and I have just got into all this stuff at the tender age of 34. Took my Crap Land Rover Corazon offroad just a few months earlier in Cranham/ Painswick with some collegues and returned home with a bone shaken body, a snapped rear spindle and a massive smile on my face.

I then bought a knackared GT out of the Trade-it, and I have now upgraded again (using recyled parts from that ) to a Giant NRS. Here it is



Ok cable brakes and the old bombers are a bit basic, but rode really well first time out last week. Unfortunately, had a bit of an over the bars off and have been stiff as hell in the right shoulder so havent been out on it since!

London. Just bought a new Lapierre Spicy and upgraded brakes to Tech M4's. Awesome so far, needs to bed in though.

I'm Nick, turned 33 on Monday, and received the current velo as I was unwrapping the Wii from mother.




Actually out of the box:



I had a Kula Deluxe back in 2007 while I was in South Korea (1.54m won - £835) and recently sauntered to work each day in Bangkok on a shite Merida which cost 8,800 baht (140 quid) in da sale.

Lucky to live in the New Forest and love being out in it on me bike. After East Asia, it's fresh air tastic!

Howdy, I am Adam, 38 and I live in a little village in the Candover Valley, Hampshire. Got back into mountain biking a few weeks ago and am riding weekly at The Lookout, Bracknell Forest with a mate who races so I'm slowly getting fitter as he keeps me on my toes

I bought a HiFi Pro and absolutely love it, can't believe how light it is! Compared to my old Carrera Banshee it is just incredible. I have added XT 770 clipless pedals and changed the stem from a 105mm to a 70mm white Bontrager Race X Lite which has transformed the handling and feel. Next up will be new wheels....either some white DT Swiss or Fulcrum Red Metal, can't decide at the mo - If I win the lottery then maybe some Crank Bros Cobalt

My bike.....



The other love of my life is my Audi S4. Highly moddified 2.7 Biturbo running close to 500bhp It's incredibly rapid and has had a fortune spent on it. I do a few track days each year and acouple of 'Ring trips....

Ok. You said it was maybe too nice, which I took as you jokingly insinuating that I was undeserving of it.....nevermind...

Ok thought it was about time I joined in with the fun!

Im Mark, live in Maidenhead and I currently ride (badly!) two bikes - a GT I-drive five 3.0 (07 but upgraded!) and also I have a custom build Azonic DS1 with 98 Bomber Z1BAMs on it.

At work at the mo (sneaky) so dont have any pics just of the bikes to hand, but have got a few on facebook

This is me on a beach in Madagscar last year, I cycled across part of it for charity


And this is me with the trusty steed I did it on (effectively a £100 halfords own brand jobby!)


Here is me on my usual ride, my Idrive


And finally here is me getting some humongous (some might say tiny, but they are the people that say 3inches is small as well ) air over at Aston Hill

I used to ride BMX and got my bike stolen out of a friends garage, Which really made me hate having a nice bike because people just want to steal them but after going out on the Orange Beast when i got it i think i'm hooked, anywhere heres a few shots .
