It’s all about the bike – Rob Penn
Not very long and easy to read but if you like a bit of classic bike bling you will love it
that’s the one where he got turned away from half the factories he tried to blag a trip to, and his “dream” build ended up being “what bits and material I can blag” build? Steel frame for out-there repairability, then carbon bars? Totally compromised on his wheel/hub choice to IIRC? As you can tell I wasn’t impressed.
To Hell on a Bike is also utter cr@p. Poorly and lazily written. Keeps referring to the Paris Roubaix sportif as a race, and throws in some BS promise to a dying relative to try create some jeopardy. I can only assume he has a mate in the publishing industry (or some compromising polaroids).
All of Tim Moore’s stuff, though “Gironimo” is a bit weak and “Cyclist who went out in the Cold” a return to form.
