Is he ex? He was reviewing lights 3 days ago on here
His last day was a couple of weeks ago, I assume this was all written and done previous to that…
Didn’t know that. Good luck Andi.
I give it a watch. Not at work at the mo - so a little distraction would be good!
I’ll give this an extra bump considering I won his frame give away on Instagram a week ago! Sunn Kern frame turned up yesterday.
First video he put up was really good and looks he’ll only get better.
Having been chatting with Andi on Instagram he seems like a top bloke.
Thanks again, @singletrackandi
Hi everyone! Been a while but I'm back at the YouTube. Just posted up a detailed look at the new Privateer E161 here:
But if an eeb isn't your thing can I tempt you all with some retro car content? 😀

A quick spin on the E161 in my latest video, plus I reveal a new prototype trail/enduro bike 😀
My friend had a trio of GTV's, the Twinspark snapped a cambelt (not its fault!) and then a couple of V6's that decided they didn't like having a differential. They looked and sounded fantastic though, and the seats on his last V6 with the baseball leather were the best I've ever sat in.
He didn't learn his lesson though, he replaced the last one with a Maserati 3200!
@singletrackandi I've not watched all of the video so may of missed it but shouldn't be declaring your position at The Rider Firm?

Does he work there? He didn't mention it on the Privateer owners FB group either. Just posing as a happy punter.

He's the Hunt MTB and Privateer brand and marketing manager according to LinkedIn.
I've met Andi and few types and he's a nice chap but not declaring an interest is poor form.
Oh that's poor
I’m sure @singletrackandi will be along to clarify. If he’s not being completely transparent about his position at Hunt/The Rider Firm then it does compromise his integrity imo.
Perhaps he has internal Chinese walls, so YouTube Andi is completely insulated and separate from work-day Andi?
That grass under the Privateer looks a very vivid green.
Do we think it might be artificial?
It's brexit britain, sunlight uplands, vivid green grass of home...
The contempt for the viewer in that 'trick' with the editing, combined with not clearly stating 'heres a review for a bike from a company that I work for' is enough to completely lose me as a viewer. Sorry but - thats not on. Got yourself an unfollow with that.
Hi everyone, so on my original video of the E161 I did have this in the description "DISCLAIMER and TRANSPARENCY: Andi Sykes was the tech editor for Singletrack Magazine before joining The Rider Firm, where he works with both HUNT MTB and Privateer to promote their UK-engineered products. This video is not intended as a review and simply outlines the specifications and design highlights of the E161."
I forgot to add that to the riding video but have added it now, sorry about that.
Neither is a review, I'm just giving the details of the bike and I made the video in my free time because I like making videos (just as I did while at STW) no other reason, I actually much prefer the car stuff now to be honest.
The green grass is Photoshop magic 😀
Cheers 😀
Edit: too slow!
see above 😉
