    Today's Ride

    Cooler 12 degrees, 10-15mph SW breeze, clearer skies, a little drier but pretty soggy in sheltered spots. Absolutely spectacular moon guiding me back west and home 👍

    Kudos for even thinking of racing on one...let alone actually racing on one!

    Good lord, my first "mountain bike". Bringing back some extremely sketchy moments 🙃

    Today's Ride

    Yesterday evening, after a solid grey day, with thick mist (almost fog on top of the moor, visibility down to 20'ish metres), the clouds slowly began to break. Mild, very damp. This morning, mild 12 degrees. Very damp, 12mph SW breeze. Clear skies but a lot of moisture in the air hence the...

    thought i'd give a cancer operation update

    Basically if goes to the nodes, it's prone to spreading more easily and becomes more reactionary i.e., can flair up. Keep on keeping on. Look after yourself dude 🙏

    Ah yes, the Blast. Yep, this era was as you said. Solid hardtails, big gussets. I reckon they'll be the next big retro thing in 10 years or so.

    Today's Ride

    What model is that? Is it a Unit? Yesterday evening, in and out of the mist/mizzle. Fairly mild 12 degrees and very few vistas 🙃 Still, always time well spent in the saddle.

    1993 Kona Hot

    Gotta say, this looks much better 👍 Stick some SPD's on, and I'd be off in a flash ;)

    Today's Ride

    Sunday morning road-ride before the weather turned later afternoon. Chilly 8 degrees but a smidge of colour before the sun hid behind the ever thickening grey clouds.

    Today's Ride

    Unexpected but much welcomed Saturday afternoon ride. Long sleeve season but reasonably mild'ish with a steady breeze. Glorious sunshine and super-clear views (which means bad weather ahead). Tacky in places but rolling well.

    Kona’s - best year for frame?

    To be clear, the Futureshock was a horrible design, a mistake, and quickly recalled for safety issues ;)

    Kona’s - best year for frame?

    To be fair, they weren't. They'd had their fingers burned with the Z-link/Futureshock in 91/92, kinda echoing the point of your mistake ;) Once Rock-Shox came along a little later and initially dominated the mass-market, Kona started to fit them as an option in 1993 through to 1994 when the...

    Today's Ride

    After Monday's ride it's been wild and wet, but this morning whilst very soggy and with an early shower, the wind has died down. Still mild, 10-12 degrees, solid cloud, 5-6 S/SE breeze. Apart from the odd bird song, it was silent up top. One of my favourite spots to stop and take it all in...
