doesn't really look right, a once state of the art FS reduced to commuting duties, bit of a waste (i suppose it could get knobbly boots too though) just seems a bit of a shame as it looks longingly at any bit of off road on it's way home

Even if it had knobblies it's fugly!

Must be comfy to ride on pot holes…

Rocket Dog has been on snappit mode today! Anymore pics? lol

Need a fail pic!

Probably just swaps wheels/tyres for offroad.

I think you are being a bit unfair rocketdog. Don't you remember that photo maybe years ago of those young lads all kitted up with full DH race gear, on their full sussers on a tow path by a canal.

Maybe this is a speed demon getting phat air on a similar tow path by a canal. Maybe this rider is doing things on bikes us XC peeps can't even conceptualise yet?

more pics? about 5k on flickr, simon ralli, my photo manager will be along soon with a link to the one-a-day-photo group i shouldn't wonder

The cable it's locked with is surely worse than it wearing slicks…

More pics – RD hasn't even posted today's pic right here
