    1992 Stumpjumper Comp

    I found this almost NOS in a French shop near where we live in the Pre-Pyrenees. Asking how much it was i thought he said 400 and something Euros and said no thanks. When Sarah asked because she can actually speak French, he replied 60Euros! Then couldn't believe i wanted it and turned the till...

    A trip to Selle Italia's factory

    There was some prototypes and bicycle history inside these walls not to mention the nicest Flite I've seen. The Badger's perch among others'. And AlpineStars were over the road opposite too. I was so tempted to try and blag my way in there but I ran out of time. Anyway, here are a few...

    A story i wrote after one too many Mayhems on old bikes

    I think everything is edited to an extent from photographers. Personally I do very little, usually make them monochrome or crop slightly but think the most important aspect to making a photograph is composition. At the moment A Nikon D4s, a D5, and an F6. A Bronica SQB, a Yashicamat 124G and a...

    The chapel of the Madonna Del Ghisallo

    I found a few images from a trip I made to the Church/ shrine of the Madonna del Ghisallo with Sportful and Tinkoff Saxo a few years back. I remember standing next to an old lady praying in the chapel and when she stopped she turned and said to me 'that was my nephew's bike' pointing to a...

    1990 Attitude Dolomite Owners - Help needed

    Hi all I'm writing a little piece on the '90 Dolomite Fade Attitude and wondered if any owners had any photographs they had taken of their (preferably as original as poss) 90 Attitudes against plain white backgrounds I could use to illustrate the text that wouldn't impinge any image copyright...

    A Mavic Party for their Mountain Bikers (pics & words)

    In my ongoing 'series' (finding old tat in hard drives), I've put up this story I wrote for a US MTB magazine about a (mainly) mountain biking celebration at Mavic HQ in Annecy a few years ago. Opening the hotel door to Anne Caroline Chausson in my pants was a career low though. Thanks for...

    Inside Tacx - Photographs and story on visiting Tacx HQ

    I'm not sure this is a series, or indeed of much interest, but I am posting some of my stories written and photographs made for cycling magazines here now. Although rather behind the scenes compared to the Merckx factory perhaps, Tacx was really interesting and as is so often the way in...
