Posted 5 years ago
In typical social media way the current trend of posting 10yr apart profile pics has moved to bikes, let’s see yours….
So here’s mine

Morewood Shova LT, my first full sus when I thought I was going to be the next DH legend.
No apologies for the state of the garden, because it’s not mine.

Kona process 153, she’s a keeper.Posted 5 years ago
The Enduro was 3 years old, 10 years ago, great bike for the time.
Intense is 3 years old now, I’ll be going in a few months (probably). It’s a great all-rounder, I haven’t kept more than 1 bike at a time for years.

The Anthem was great, it took me to a lot of podiums but was also great on normal trails. It was fast, light and fun.
The Evil was just the best at the time – it was one bike that did everything, from normal XC rides to the DH trails at Innerleithen. Nowadays I think I’d be amazed at just how tiny it was.
Now I have a Transition Patrol Carbon which I use for my big mountain adventures. It’s massive, long and stable and fast. I also have a Trek Stache that’s build up with some light kit so I can take it XC racing this summer with normal 29″ wheels on it, but I also take it to Inners in the winter and ride normal trails on it. It’s a ridiculously good bike, far better than it looks. I’ve had both for just over 2 years, which is a long time by my standards, and I don’t think I’ll get rid of them any time soon.

To this, although it sadly never got ridden due to injury so sold it. Santa Cruz HTLT (Built Feb 2018, sold August 2018)
Posted 5 years agoIntense Socom. It was actually straight too. And only a couple of pounds heavier than the RAAW. It was a large, and was actually tiny, as were all DH bikes back then.
SC Blur 4X. My first non DH bike. Despite it being far too small for me, I loved it. Look at that saddle, a work of art.
Newest, although I still have my Fuel 9.9, no pictures of it though.

Nowadays I split my riding between these two and a gravel/road bike

I bought my NRS new in 2007,had some fun on it over the years
I bought this new the other month,spend most of my time on the roads these days…
Posted 5 years agoSame bike basically apart from new shock, saddle, brakes and rebuilding wheel and forks (and consumable replacement). On the other hand I was much fitter and more tanned 🙁 Just sold this frame after picking it up in Marin (county) all those years ago- feeling quite nostalgic.
2008 (after descending Monarch’s Crest and then doing the road climb back up). Saddle needs adjustment
