So the rain has come, trails are moistening nicely, ready for the gritfest that is autumn. But never mind, here’s some lovely stuff to look at!

It’s a quick one today, as lots of us are at Eurobike, but here’s the stuff that’s come into the office this week:

Marin Mount Vision XM Pro

Some carbon loveliness from Marin has come in to test:

Drop-bar off-road awesomeness, through the wires, to you!

That’s yer lot this week. We’re off to wear down some drivetrain and brakepad.

See you next week!

Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome. He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable. Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles. He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds. He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.
