    Alves

    Its sad to say but I think Alves Framesets might be finished. Charlie was never a prolific builder but he did good work. Sad to see yet another british builder turn his torch off again. Perhaps we are all to blame for not supporting our home bred innovators and builders more often. I...

    Hello

    At long last Ive managed to find a website that covers my interest in MTB. Hard tailed thumbshifting wonders. I've had my current bike for 14 years and still give it an occasional run out. Time is getting short for the old mare as parts, especially drivetrain components, are begining to get...
