I've decided that as I'm never going to ride this bike that it's time to part with it once and for all. It's a great looking bike and is a hoot to ride, but I'm set in my ways and a steel hardtail is always going to be first out of the door. Despite being over a year old I've frobably riden it...

So, Monday night. Laid in bed but didn't get a wink of sleep all night. Outside in the skies we had an amazing lightshow. Everyone was talking about it yesterday. Some of the photos I've seen are amazing. Missed the whole thing as I tried to sleep. There was another huge solar eruption...

1985 Mongoose AT Pro I thought I would start a build thread for our latest project. Things have been quiet in the surgery this year as i have been concentrating on building up new frames and sorting all the gear that entails. Apart from rebuilding the Klunker, i've not restored an oldskool...

Hi all, Just got this finished in time for the 35th aniversary of the first repack race. Based around the 37 Excelsior that i built up a few years back but changed so much I thought it deserved a fresh look. Two years of riding had taken its toll on this now 74 year old frame as new...
