My Bikes
Everybody knows that the correct number of bikes to own is n+1 where n is the number you have already.
With my move to Perth and the discovery of Balcatta Tip, n is a rapidly increasing number. Good oh.
| Rock Lobster Team Tig SL Top end hardtail mountain bike, that gets used for everything fro thrashing about the woods to fully laden offroad touring. |
| Cannondale H400 Converted hybrid bike that has put through it's paces on many tours including Land's End on John O'Groats and most of Scandinavia. |
| Specialized Rockhopper A1 Pro My first mountain bike and a real work horse at that. After replacing everything at least twice it has been retired but I still have the frame so it will no doubt be re-born at some point. |
| Dutch Speed Bicycle Recumbent My home made kit recumbent that was great fun to build and a real giggle to ride. Criminally I don't use it enough. |
| Raleigh Europa Fixie My first fixie build which I use for commuting in Perth and road riding. This bike is fast. |
| The Threesome An on-going project joint with Tim and John to build a trandem (tandem for 3). |
| Ridgeback 601GS Singlespeed Steel framed mountain bike which I singlespeeded and used for commuting to college and some winter offroad riding. |
