this one show how random i could be....


my bike: (first and the only bike i have ever own)

bomberesque

I'm James. nicknamed Bomber a while back, allegedly for my toilet habits but who knows really.

I'm English but have been living abroad since 1992, mostly in Asia with the last 4 years in Brussels. I work in Antwerp for "an oil company" and ride mostly in the Ardennes at weekends and our local forest during the week. I am what would be kindly termed middle aged but with no kids and Mrs B (a beer swilling Canuk I met in Singapore many moons ago) is a mountainbiking fan aswell, so bike budgets are good in our house.

I have;

Brand New Ibis Tranny (new Singlespeed, not yet built up, will finish it this weekend)
'07 Evil Sovereign (my everything Hardtail. on the lardy side, but that keeps me fit)
'03 Kona Stinky D (sadly underused, Mrs B wants shot of it)
'08 Cotic Road Rat (my comuter, I drive to antwerp then ride out onto the haven, where I work)

She has;

'00 Cannondale F1000
'08 Yeti 575
Brand new Da Silva steel framed tourer

we have 2 cats and like beer

Its a gd coloured puppy

I've got a pic of a 46lb cat ( :twisted: ) on page 9 of this thread. Currently awaiting the 16th to have a go at some heavily plated Leneys this year, shame they don't get much bigger than very early twenties. I'll have to get some time in on a few day ticket waters and have a go at some trophyhunting aswell!

cgarossi

Im Ross, 32 from Herefordshire.

Been biking since I was 14 and can remember the days of the Malvern Hills classic. Keen XCer.

My ride is an 09 Scott Scale 50, which I love to bits.

zerolight

Graham, from Glasgow. 37. Been on here a couple of weeks. This is my bike. I'm really growing to like it a lot - took it off road for the first time this weekend at Pollock Park and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had the bike about two weeks, having not ridden in about 8 years.

KonaKurt

Yay, another Kona hardtail Nice one.
You should find the geometry nice and tight, and just right for fast twisty trails

KK.

M4VERICK

Im Andrew from North Devon.

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!

paul.skibum

Paul from Reading. Ride the Chilterns, Swinley Forest and Wales or the Alps when I get the chance.

I have an 04 Handjob with nothing fancy on it - highlights component wise are a set of Crossrides and an M4 front brake and a new drive train.

I also have a Patriot which I hardly use as its a bit downhill specific with its beefy rims and tyres.

There's an 80mm travel Inbred somewhere as well with road tyres and a rack - I never got on with it so I lent it to a mate.

No pics of any of them available at time of going to press.

I have guided for a season in the Alps and I am a ski instructor in Canada during the winters. If anyone is booking a holiday come to Silver Star Mountain Resort, ask for me for a lesson and I get extra commission - go on you know you want to!?

richg1979

im rich,29 from staffordshire, been seriously biking for the last 3 years but did a lot when i was younger.

lawman

i ride a 2008 kinesis maxlight xc120, with crap tora froks and a shot drivetrain, but on its day it reminds me why i love to ride, like today wen it slid me downhill sideways at 40mph, bloody scary actually considering i have 3 exams tomorrow, the thought of missing them was truly awful ........ NOT
