Some of you might be wondering what this Darkside Tupperware content is doing here, well…. As well as Mountain Biking I also like to dabble in the dark arts and do a bit of Triathlon (the sport for gadget freaks with Attention Deficit Disorder). Having signed up for IronMan UK this year I thought it was [...] 
And now for something completely different. Just in case you were worried frame design was looking a little conservative at the moment, here comes Adrian to save the day: OK, safe to say I've not seen one of those before! E-stays allow radical short wheelbase design and check those custom adjustable dropouts. One good [...] 
I was cruising the forums over on Singletrack World a little while back and spotted Josh’s post about a 29′er he’d had made by XACD. Not wanting to miss documenting someone else’s experiences I got in touch to find out more. Here’s the post that started it all off: Evening.. I am very very [...] 
Martin's first XACD frame – now running as a fully rigid singlespeed.
Martin recently got in touch with me to let me know about an XACD frame that he had made a little while ago and about his plans to have ‘frame 2.0′ produced. I asked him about what he had [...]

They’ve now decided to bring their fabrication ‘in house’ and no longer get frames made by XACD, but I liked their variety of designs so much that I couldn’t resist [...] 
Olivier’s tip-offs never end, this time he pointed me towards a Picasa album that documented Dominique Charbonnel’s individual frame designs from napkin sketch to reality. I’ve tried to get in touch with the man himself but with no luck yet, so this is more of a slide show than a normal gallery item! From [...] 
Thanks to Olivier for yet another tip off. This time it was Spanish brand Jerónimo Cycles that caught his attention, and I can see why! Posting on a bike forum they were showing off a full suspension design that looked pretty tidy, it’s unusual to see someone make a titanium full suss, so I thought I’d find [...] 
Sunil got in touch recently to let me know about the frame that he had made to complete the Tour D’Afrique, an 11,704 Km expedition tour across Africa, going all the way from Cairo to Cape Town! (You can read all about it on his blog: http://geekonabicycle.co.uk/). He enlisted the services of Mosquito Bikes [...] |
