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.)

An interesting concept…
“what size is”….. Eddies gut compared to Alberto’s?

Merckx could probably still spank most people on the bike!
Shimano’s winter boots appear to have an awful lot of holes in them.
How’s that going to help keep your feet cosy in winter?
does contador only have one shirt?
It’s likely that Contador was only at the show for one day and all the photos you’ve seen of him were taken on that day, with the same shirt.
the same shirt as last years london bike show though!
Merckx’s cx bike makes me smile.
