    Are you after a college bike or a company bike?

      I saw this about the government sponsored cycle to work schemes.

      Anyone tried this?

        Yeps. My first race of this season is on April 11th at the Tysk Plantation if anyone wishes to come and cheer on Team Threaded.

        I have a variety of bikes and they are all for quite specific conditions.

        But for £1000 you can't do better than get in touch with Ben Cooper at Kinetics and see if he'll do you a Rohloff hub into a On-One inbred.

            Why would you want to mount a bike? I know you're a gooner but this really is sick.

                It's mountain biking in the woods, but nothing too bad, it is Denmark after all, and most hills are man made. So, I'll be using a rigid 29er.

                    Nah, that set of races are only 70 minutes long. I do over 2 hours everyday riding to and from clients, and currently I'm on Gran Canaria going up and down the local volcano for my morning and evening exercise.
