I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

Don’t bother updating with the RRP I suspect only 0.1% of the readership would be able to afford it

A great idea for proptions, good advertising, be interested to see what a full race spec price is assuming it’s similar to the Palmer editions of the M’s a couple of years bacl
