Work is in progress on the Tim Gould biography. I was asked some questions last week by the author on my memories of racing against Tim. Other riders from that era are also doing the same. Not sure when the book will be out, but I am sure it will be a good read when it is available. I will put...

Anyone else on here going to be one of the 2,500 riders on Sunday?

In order to celebrate 20 years of their first mountain bike Alpinestars are going to produce a limited edition of the Ti - Mega. Shimano have agreed to produce enough retro XTR groupsets to equip the bikes, selle Italia are already making flite saddles and Ritchey have been approached to make...

After kicking and screaming for far too long I finally bit the bullet and rode a soft tail for the first time today on an Orange ST4 demo bike. What a bike!!! I know we all love our old bikes, but today made me realise what I have been missing out on.

Welcome 'Durango' aka Jake Elliot ( Bronze medalist 1990 Junior World XC Champs)

I am thinking of getting a Cannondale Caad 9 on a ride to work scheme and am not sure what size to get. I am 5ft 10ins with inside leg measurement of 32 inches. I normally ride a 56 cm, but I am thinking should I go for 54 cm. Anyone out there got any advice.

As tonight is the last Friday before Xmas and one the biggest piss up nights of the year I was wondering what it is called in your area - in Mid Wales we call it Mad Friday, in parts of South Wales it is called Black Friday - what is it called in your area? By the way I am having a ' really...

I need to make you aware of a scam that is happening at supermarkets over xmas so be careful and give a 'heads up' for those men who may be regular supermarket customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out...

Around 10 years ago a Mountain Bike magazine ( cant remember name of mag) which was new at the time did a photoshoot on my 1989 Clockwork Orange. I can not find my copy of the mag anywhere and wonder if anyone out there has one? If so I would love a copy of the article. Thanks Tim D

Not retro - sorry, but can anyone help. I have just got a pair of Marazocci MX COMP ETA 2006 forks that I am trying to fit to my Orange. The forks that were on the bike are manitou mars with Hope mini calipers with a number 5 stamped on them. The brake disc is 179 mm diameter. Unfortunatley the...

should of been off to Muddeford Kayak fishing for the first time in the morning , but my mate who is already there advised me to stay at home as the sea is a bit rough for a beginner. Bas###d weather.

I spent the weekend in Scotland riding the Pre 65 Scottish trial, when I was walking through Kinlochleven on Thursday evening I spotted someone wearing a retrobike jersey - last thing I expected to see in the highlands. Was it you?? A couple of names you might be familiar with did well in the...

Not really retro MTB, but the following link shows what Johnny T's boy is up to - looking at the vid I reckon another Tomac is working his way to the top of a sport http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1XswGeTPRc

After much resistance I have just fitted riser bars onto my Orange evo 3. Only ridden it up and down the road and it feels a bit weird being sat so high, but I am sure it will make more sense when I go off road. Still got a P7 with a long stem and bar ends for old times sake though!!!
