all that hard work and finished off with sram brakes for the bin..

Lovely bikes.

Article needs a bit more proof-reading; several examples of ‘written’ instead of ‘ridden’ for instance ….

@hardtailonly Argh! Jim’s accent played havoc with the transcription – lots of barks instead of bikes!

Weird writing aside, that is a thing of beauty!

Very nice, if I could ride I’d be on the phone to Craft right now.

 

 

Having met and ridden with Jim and Chloe on an alps trip a while back I can say I think Jim’s being a bit modest.
