Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.

  1. A shame some of them weren’t painted in very low volume “test bike” colours, then there would only be a few dozen of each in the country.

    I hope they get found soon and the culprits are duly delt with.

  2. Really helpful comments those, I’m sure the owners will be indebted to STW. 10k+ of bikes, plus the damage and inconvenience to the shop.

  3. M6TTF, my comment was aimed at other not very helpful posts which have thankfully been pulled. Think SpeshPaul is saying they’re NOT the low-volume test bikes, they’re the normal colours, which unfortunately will blend in and never be seen again.
