Sent a cheeky wee email to stanton bikes today to see whether they will do the sherpa with 100mm forks or reduce the 120s and also supply both 27.5+ and 29 wheels.

Re:

Did anyone catch the Cameron McNeish. Roads less travelled? Fair enjoyed it, might still be on iplayer.

Caught part of the first one. Got me searching for pacrrafts! Bloody expensive but more easily usable than a sea kayak.

Re:

Aye a van would be brilliant, quibbled about it for so long. Unfortunately with family and work it just wouldn't get used. Cannae wait till I've shipped them oot and jacked the job in.

Re:

If a mere mortal (bloody talented mortal to be fair) can ride like that why does Gary Fisher still hold the course record for the Repack :shock:

Awesome !!!

However I still think a Hope hub sounds like a Sturmey Archer three speed. If only SA could have patented the sound the hub made, then Hope would be in bother

sounds well louder than the pro3, awesome video, I know it says "no effects" but watching the speed that he was carrying I thought it speeded up :shock:
