I love my bike. My bike is everything to me. My bike is my gym, my church, and my wheelchair. My bike is everything that I believe in going on in the Biosphere. It’s science, it’s technology, it’s the future, engineering, metallurgy - you name it, it’s right there in my bike. My bike is the most...

I am the luckiest guy in the world because I am alive and I can ride my bike. It is the ultimate celebration of life when you go out there and are able to do what you can do. I have not been able to play basketball for 34 years. I have not been able to walk for enjoyment or pleasure or exercise...

Hi there, I have these brake shoes I won't be using. Price is 10 euros plus shipping. PayPal F&F please. Panos

Hey mate, I got some nos XTR catridge shoes but I am not sure these are the ones you are after?

Hey there, No Ibis owner but I could still help. First it would be useful to know what type of fork is this and what's it's travel? Looks like a Fox but can't be sure from the picture. Also, the year the frame was produced or its serial number? It looks to be a sus corrected frame...

The cycling window I had today coincided with a storm and so I was soaked from min 5 of the ride and for about 2 and 50 mins. Just feels very rewarding after you finish a ride in adverse conditions… The forest is usually empty when it’s raining and this time indeed I didn’t cross a soul apart...

You are referring to Paul’s book I guess and the chapter where he speaks about Kona? Anyhow if you have any online resource mentioning this part of the story do send it across. I like my 🐇 hole when I can get one…

Thanks Phill! Still a proof of concept with some parts to change in the future like the handlebars and the rigid forks but it’s already proven its riding qualities to me…🚲

Here is the man holding the 100$ bike he built using the washing machine bearings. It’s from the documentary there is on Obree on YouTube.

True, forgot to include Konas in the list of long HT bike manufacurers. Bontrangers too had longer HTs. Yeah it's I guess possible, that longer HTs would work with trials bikes too. Never tried trialing myself although I was tempted and a few of my team mates were quite good at it. I think...

Really nice build! Quite curious to try one of these if I get the chance in the future. Also, would someone unpack the idea behind the rear drop outs in Bontrangers? I read in one of their manuals that the right one is heat treated but for the rest I can't figure out the added value of their...

Fair price though!

Indeed, he is a real legend in my mind in that he tried to tweak the bike all the way to make it as fast as possible. And he succeeded! UCI had to ban a few of his designs so that can only be a testament to his ingenuity, no less! I think that’s the bike that was using the washing machine...

That's from the ride last weekend in the woods outside Brussels. :cool: I am now starting to believe that one of Brodie's biggest contributions to early MTB geometry was his longer head tubes and not just longer / steeper seat tubes. Longer HTs just make for a more stable ride when you have...

Thanks! I wasn't aware there are versions of them made out of rubber. These specific ones have steel axels and body.
