    1993 Dave Yates D.O.N.K.I.S. K.N.O.B.

    That sure is a lovely example and in amazing condition . They are definatley one of the nicest bikes i have ridden , it is very stiff and with the short chainstays one of the best climbing bikes , which is helpful as i'm not much of a fan of going uphill ! My one was slightly different as it had...

    Doing my first XC race in 15 years on sunday(Race Done Just)

    They do tend to be done in loops of different lengths but i think that the enduro type races are popular now which are longer and go from point to point .its all a good laugh though

    Has XC MTB racing died ????

    I went along to Newnham Park on the 26th sep to see the NPS final race to see what the racing was like now . I hadn't been to a race since about 1997 . I couldn't believe how much it has changed from BITD . For one the racing was all done on the Sat not the sunday , is that the norm now ? Also...
