Brilliant looking and working bikes, great shock, innovative design, but what happened to them? Did he go and work for a company (bike or car) or was he silenced by the competition? Anyone know, and should more bikes be made with a spaceframe ( I know it would be expensive, but I think it looks great, I love Moultons)?
You know I think the frames themselves are actually Ancillotti, although they only use the front triangle if that is correct.
Alan built them in his shed, like his V12 Kwaks and many-cylinder other bikes, but the mtb's were just for his lad. Hadn't realised that he was looking at anything other?
I saw a photo of a V3 bike being ridden somewhere the other day.
ah ok. uploaded in 2008.

Dirt featured the bike last year (I think), gave it to an unnamed pro who thought it was interesting...got the feeling it was Nico and he was puzzled about whether it was any cop or not...
Seemed to have some great features on it though, sealed drivechain and all that.
that pic looks like Chicksands
