Singletrackworld's Editor At Large
With nearly 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is 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. Over the last 32 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)

Wow a bad paint job can make even a Yeti look ugly at first glance. But Look closer at the shape and lines and its still one of the world’s most beautiful bikes.
no carbon fibre in the back end?
