[Closed] An observation..........nothing more

When riding around my local, Swinley forest, I see a vast array of high end exotic with 150mm travel which help 'tame the trails' I've just spent three days in the peaks (chuffing awesome for what it's worth) riding some frankly bonkers stuff and yet most people seem to be riding hardtails!? Surely it should be the other way round? Or am I confused, like I said its mearly an observation! Oh and hats of to the geezer on the carbon 456 riding down from lords seat to Edale your super wide bars were awesome :D

To be serious for a minute though, I reckon I've seen more Orange Fives in Calderdale than any other type of bike.

I know they're made just up the road, but the sheer number you see about is just crazy.

The reason there are so many Fives in Calderdale is because when people started keeping documents on their computers up here in Yorkshire, way back in early 2010, some enterprising soul branched into recycling the now redundant filing cabinets. West Vale was.simply the largest repository.
