Friday Bike Lust – Kona Raijin Ti 29′er
Kona Raijin Ti 29′er Originally uploaded by www.sussex-mtb.com Well to shamelessly rip an idea off from Rich over at www.brainfartsofabiketart.com I thought I’d start off a ‘Friday bike lust’ post.

Pace RC104
I was keen to get a decent ride in on Bobster’s Pace RC104 before it moved on to it’s next home, so I persuaded him to let me have it for a night before it was stripped this week. It’s such a nice looking frame with it’s curvaceous stays and nice chrome touches. It has… Continue reading »
