About me

Been riding for too long to remember. I got interested in bikes at a young age (about 6 or 7) building bikes out of parts in my granddads shed. Then riding them - without tyres.

My first mountain bike was an Amaco Manhattan that I got for Christmas one year. It was a proper mountain bike because it had centre pull brakes! I had that until it got nicked.

After that I got a Carrera Catalyst which I thought was the muts nuts. It had an elevated chainstay and weight in at around 1 metric tonne.

Things started to get a bit more serious when I snapped the frame on that and replaced it with an Orange Prestige frame. I kept upgrading this until it was mostly XT on Mavic rims. That lasted until about three years ago when I when I knacked it.

In 2008 I got myself a Specialized FSRxc and could be found crawling up hills and flying uncontrollably down them at places like Chopwell and Kielder.

Now that bike has been nicked I'm riding a Cascade which takes me back to the early days of the "Bone Shakers" I used to make in my granddad's shed. Looking to get a Commencal Combi Disc then a 2010 Specialized Pitch when they come out.
