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.

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.

    My (formerly nickc’s) Foes FXC with a random bloke’s FXR at the Slickrock carpark in Moab. Happy days.

    I remember seeing one at the Malverns one year thinking to myself, a FS with 6″ rear travel? madness!

    admittedly at the time, most forks were barely touching 80mm (more like 63mm) so having that much at the back seemed bonkers.

    I had an FXC same as NickC’s above. It cracked 3 times and I couldn’t be bothered sending it away for months to the U.S.A. for a second time so threw it in the recycling skip.

    I always wanted a Foes with the massive Curnutt air shock.

    That Foes really needs an F1 fork on it.

    I really wanted a Foes DH bike (in red) with the huge Curnutt 2:1 shock and Curnutt triple crown forks with the huge 30mm front axle/hub. Probably a bit overkill for Devon though.
