@Giles:

I've already got one with loads of gears and have fancied a single speed or fixed wheel for some time.  There are so many uber cool ones in Tokyo….............

There is an absolute beauty of a fixed wheeler in the window of Town Bikes, Stoke Road, £100 off too. 

[Giles]

Might walk past it on the way to have a few beers with you tonight - leaving in a little over an hour.  Get those beers coolong…...............

[Giles]

On second thoughts, can't wait till 19:30, so I'm opening one of these now:

yip - technically you can be drunk in possession of a bicycle . . . dunno if that applies to a forum too . . .

I'll heading for a pint or two shortly so cheers

These are my two bikes. I unfortunalety moved away from the alps so the MTb doesn't get used too often right now.

I've had loads of bikes, just got this built up today:

Grips still to come. Won't be riding for a while anyways  ;D.

@Max:

[Geo]

here's mine - from non-snowing days

[Geo]

oh man - tried tried one of those Jeff Jones steeds - they are radical (and weirdly beautiful)!

couldn't quite get myself sorted on it, but can see how the thing works. v. cool on meeting and riding with the designer too!

i like the action shots - most of ours seen to be taken during post-ride piss-ups

Jeff is the "mad proffessor" of all things pushbike related.  I took him out for a couple of decent rides when he last in the Uk, fortunately the weather behaved itself.

With Jeff if you talk about "titanium" or "bike geometry" his eyes light up and he gets quite animated.  The attention to detail behind his bikes is quite amazing, his design philosophy is not too far away from IH denim's philosophy, they are both equally focussed.

I love the bike and have yet to find something it can not handle, including some nasty descents.  Rocking up at your local trail and keeping up with all the full suspension bikes and riders is always good fun.  Some of the looks you get when they can't shake you off or catch you up are quite amusing.
