Default Giant

Giant XTC Zero carbon framed hard tail cross country mountain bike. Because it's light weight and a great spec. Is a few years old now.



And for my oldest. 4yrs. A Specialised Hotrock. Light and cool.



And A Specialised Hotwalk balance bike for my youngest 2 yrs. because it's really cool.

I used to ride this but i had bad back problem, i had to sell this.

Norco DH 2011, very lovely shocks, so smooth over the bumps, on downhill track.



Now i am reduced to ride this. I dont suffer from back problem.



Specialized Crossfit disc 2013.


i bought it from pawn shop for £150. I upgraded the tyres to work in muddy track but rolls fast on tarmac, i run much shorter stem and much wider handlebar. it rides very lovely.
I am currently saving up for other "downhill" bike but not as extreme as my old downhill bike.

Default Nukeproof Mega AM Pro

I bought this in October, it's the perfect all mountain bike. Excellent down hill, fast trails, climbs jumps etc, massive spec too! Rockshock Pike RCT3 up front, Rockshock monarch RCT on the rear 160mm of travel on both single front chain ring, it's a beast! Lol

Great spec? I can see flats, on a carbon XC bike.

Only thing still fitted is the frame, fork and rear mech. Everything else has been replaced....... and some complain that RC is expensive.....

Default Pedals

The pedals are because I use the bike to pull a trailer with the kids in and my SPDs arnt a safe option with them on the back.

Good excuse, not heard that one before.

Default Steed - Road

My Planet X

No a big fan of road riding and this as you can see from my pic is my bike I use for Triathlons. Its light, well made and very reliable.
