Well finally back to Blighty and getting stuff together again.

Thanks to French airtraffic control we had an epic 1585 mile round trip from Sheffield to make it to MOrzine but so glad we made the effort as this year was so good!

Anyway, took the plunge and took along the BFe and 6inch forks,

WHAT A RIDE!!!!

Was worried about performance but was so so good. It was never going to compete with my mates on 6inch F&R full bouncers over the big rocks (with me at the helm at any rate!) but it just stood its ground on everything else so well.

What a beast!

On the 1:1 DH /techy stuff I was so glad I opted for the smaller 17.5" frame though!

Cy – the BFe is a design classic!

Good work fella!

Will send over pics for the website.

Never out of my depth on it and it

…impatiently waits to see photos…

…clicks on kettle and wanders over to sit impatiently waiting for photos with kelvin… 🙂

last year we did a 2 week trip round the alps to all the dh haunts, and my mate took his dialled alpine with 66's and couldnt sing its praises enough, i even had a go and it was ace keeping up with the big boys on the brooklyns, i even have a dialled alpine now 😀 and he's got a cotic bfe 😀

mine a tea with 2 sugars please..

jammy dodger anyone?

OOooh, waiting for pictures. Heading out to chatel in mid july for some downhill fun on my alpine. Results of that will determine whether i want full sus or not.

What does props mean?

chatel id say go full bounce purely for the maintenance of the tracks that end being pure shit, it was certainly the roughest place, crans montana, alp duez and les du alps were all vgood aswell as morgins (awesome on ht) and pila wouldnt have been bad if he hadnt broken his finger by then

What does props mean?

Support given.

Biscuit with that cuppa?

Ummm bored waiting can we see those pics now please?

What's BFe stand for?

It's the follow up to this…

How'd you find the joplin movable seat post thinggy holding up on the BFe?

Surely the BFE would be a prequel?

The seatpost was a lifesaver and I would recommend it. its only the 100mm version but thats all I needed to have the confidence to hang right off the back (which was essential when doing the trails GEDA found for us to do!)

That's a relief, I wondered if their office was collapsing…

One of the worst bike names ever conjured

Yey! I much prefer names like "Gonads" or "X200" (might not be true).
