Roc d’Azur – Report 2 – Singletrack World Magazine

Guy Bowden from Flow MTB reports…

Big bike from Merida - great name...

...the "Duncan 2" 🙂

Sunn Radical is much nicer looking this (or is it next?) year.

A loudly coloured MSC.

Still trying the 7 inch 'All Mountain' bike genre - can't imagine it'd be much fun riding that uphill.

The Beast - gearbox things from MSC - not many gear boxes around this show - only one spotted so far.

Red Bvll - from Germany would you believe..?

Nice looking womens specific bike The Red Bvll Red Rose. Lancastrian ladies rejoice!

Sorted looking 6 inch bike with a great name from Rose http://www.roseversand.de (click on pic to go to their website)

Uncle Jimbo's bigger brother: the 'Beef Cake'.

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.

Good work Guy, loving the ‘Duncan’. It’s clearly a homage to Blue Peter legend Peter Duncan (now Chief Scout, of course), with the colour scheme paying tribute to that famous <a href="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45103000/jpg/_45103402_cec1b24b-b850-4091-a9f0-05762a2cb35e.jpg"green and white outfit that us viewers designed for his daraing escapades.
