Gemmi Pass slightly insane mountain bike descent.

I'd have reservations about walking this. But watch the video and I get the distinct impression that the guy on the blue bike was being held back! Some insane bike skills here. Gemmi Pass descent 2012_public from Terrengsykkel on Vimeo .

Retro biking is always fun. The Sunn Tox from 1998

Retro biking via online snap purchases - my Sunn Tox. We all surf online these days. Bit bored, fire up the mobile. I generally look at the local classifieds for interesting bikes. One of my hobbies being fixing up an older bike. Why? Well firstly I just like bikes. I don't discriminate when I buy; my oldest being from 1950. That was an old Raleigh tourer bought for £20. Fixed it up, spent a month polishing it just because I liked the colour. Sold it on as really it was two sizes too big for me. Did not make a profit as I advertised it at the price I paid plus the cost of all the parts fitted. The buyer was more than happy; it shone. Secondly the bikes chosen tend to reflect my view of a particular era or incident in my life. Hence predominantly the bikes are from the 1990's when I really started mountain biking, although I do also look at the earlier bikes. I learnt to ride on a 1930's tourer.

Personally I'd rather have some good 90mm forks than average 120mm jobbies. Of course they are also stunningly light, helping with the overall build weight of sub 25lb for less than £1,000. This thing flies. So, where did I go after this? Fulcrum Red Metal 5 wheelset. Hayes Stroker brakes [half price new]. Hope rotors; my usual 140mm on the rear. USE flat carbon bar. USE 90mm stem. USE seatpost. Shimano SLX 9 speed drivetrain bur with 2007 LX shifters [apparently these were the best mid-range that Shimano did?]. Charge Ti saddle [200g] and comfy for me. Maxxis Aspen tyres. Superstar grips. This whole lot c
