...eh i mean the public long distance footpath...
hee hee this bike is so much fun it just brings out the hooligan in you...
heres a timelapse build and testride film that suits the character of my new naughty bike...gonna have more fun on this than a 2 week summer holiday abroad...

    thanks joe...this build has put the mtb back into bikes which has been lacking since i got the pugsley (which is an all terrian bicycle)... what i mean by this is that you dont need the latest full suspension mtb to have fun on...steel hardtails still have there place :)

    clive; i see alot of P7s at glentress,nice frames...didnt mean to hit the camera but skid through either side!,it was undamaged...
    no full suss bikes for me for a while,the 29er is lovely to ride,very relaxed...
    the 456 i just want to stomp on the pedals and shred...great fun bike for the money!

    I can't see videos on this 'puter so am unable to see the end result. I can guess that it is a beaut of a bike though! Lucky sod :-)

    What is happening to the 'dale frame BTW?

    What a fantastic worshop you have, and a fabulous new bike. The more I see your films, the more I want to give this mountain biking a go.
