I've been lucky enough to get my grubby little mitts on a few demo bikes after the last month or so, having had a chance to get to know them reasonably well I'll be posting a few reviews over the coming couple of weeks. First off the mark though we have the super lushness that… Continue reading »

Demo day round up
Well the dust, or should I say the mud, from the demo day has settled now, so I thought I’d write a few words to let you know what bikes I rode and what I thought of them. This first few months of the year has been awesome as Quest has had a nice flow… Continue reading »

Genesis Alpitude review
I’d been looking forward to riding the 2010 Genesis Alpitude, I rode last year’s and loved it so I was keen to see if this year’s model was as fun to ride. The Alpitude differentiates itself from the Altitude by it’s slacker angles, beefier tubing and longer travel fork. When you first lay eyes on… Continue reading »

Marin Attack Trail 6.8 review
This weekend I’ve had the new Marin Attack Trail 6.8 for company. I’ve been looking forward to riding this bike since I saw the new catalogue.

Cove Hummer
Some of you may be surprised to hear it, but I have had the Hummer six months now. I’d kind of held off writing anything about it initially for two reasons, one – I wanted to get to know it properly, two – I wanted to make sure I’d got it how I wanted it.… Continue reading »
