Andi is a gadget guru and mountain biker who has lived and ridden bikes in China and Spain before settling down in the Peak District to become Singletrack's social media expert. He is definitely more big travel fun than XC sufferer but his bike collection does include some rare hardtails - He's a collector and curator as well as a rider. Theory and practice in perfect balance with his inner chi, or something. As well as living life based on what he last read in a fortune cookie Andi likes nothing better than riding big travel bikes.

The letter B does not feature in FGF 414…… that one’s ancient!
@martinkiely ah, but I’ve actually gone ahead and counted them all…
I CAN’T AFFORD ANY…. oh wait, it’s quite reasonable this week.
I’ll be keen to see a review of those brakes. I’ve usually found Shimano’s cheaper brakes to be more consistent than their more expensive ones!
@horatioHufnagel we’re currently in the middle of a spirited debate about who will get to test these out. For the money, they look really good.
Acid Brass CD is well worth a buy!
@nedrapier agreed! 😀
Shirley the Deore’s are £54.99 an end not per set? Bloody cheap if correct 🙂
that’s an excellent price for the deores. presume w/o rotors or adaptors?
Sorry guy’s that’s the ‘per end’ price.
The brakes seem to be 130 euros per set on the German websites bike-discount, rose etc.
Good grief! Is this the cheapest bike ever to feature on FGF? Do they make one big enough for me? I have reached a great age without ever trying a BMX, maybe it is not too late to try. In Bolton town centre the BMX kids are amazingly skilled, though sadly the council is trying to ban them (and the skateboarders). It seems they are trying to make being young and happy a criminal offence.
How am I supposed to come and do my usual moan about over priced stuff? Hmph.
(Bet those Deores are brilliant 😀 )
Got to love the Fairey Brass Band. Mentioned a few times in the early Len Deighton ‘Harry Palmer’ series. They’re a true labour of love.
Oh and either 0 or 112 ‘b’s.
Paste text into word and do a find change…
But what about the B’s in the pictures? Do they count?
and the 4 ‘b’s in the Tags too?
Not sure anyone needs RF functionality to run more than one 4500-lumen head unit at the same time – at least not on a bicycle.
“women’s specific gloves” – is that a real thing? i just checked a couple of women & they all had 4 fingers & 1 thumb on each hand, just like me. i already wear women’s socks coz it turns out they fit my feet just fine & come in colours other than grey. does that mean i’m trans?
@Hanna check out over 30s BMX groups on FB, rideon is my personal favourite. There are over 30s nights in various skateparks around the country.
@thebrick thanks…I think…though I am trying to pretend I’m not over 30 🙁
@brainflex only the ‘B’s in the text including captions, but not the tags 😉
@stuartsimpson not the ‘B’s in the tag
