I just love titanium - the Gary Fisher was made by Sandvik to a wierd and arcane design which rendered it obsolete the second it was built. But I loved the ride so much I had to buy another Ti frame as soon as I could afford it.
I've still got the Fishmong as a hack bike, but the geometry's way off for all but the shortest suspension forks - the original Judy SL's that I have on there just got a service and they had to send to the US for the spare oil reservoir and that was the last one! It'll be pensioned off at the end of the year - or I may just put some rigids back on and suffer...

I remember ripping out all the inners from my first pair of judy's and fitting a set of air springs.
they were sooooooo smooth after that, the following year I switched on to pace forks, fantastic  I'd even suggest their rigid forks to if you go tack to zero bounce. |

Jo Burt had some Pace forks when we used to ride together down in Brighton - never really liked the look of them. That plus the fact that they were always spread all over his kitchen floor...
I've got some custom-built Fuquay forks in the garage - the frame's a 1 1/4" head tube as opposed to 1 1/8". Cheers, Gary. I know there's people out there that do alloy head-tube inserts and I may go that way instead, but it's got a Chris King a-headset and Ringle stem that I'm rather fond of... |

There seems to be a lot of Cyclists and former Cyclists who are now Photographers - So name the Rider on the left (foreground) and who does he ride with? He was 3rd in which famous cobbled event 2 years ago? He also became a World Champion in Leeds as a Junior but in which discipline?

Oh blimey... I'm well out of the loop on this...
Rhodo, I'll trade you a weekend of Press work for a weekend at the races in the Spring - Tour of Flanders perhaps? I guess the event's going to be Paris-Roubaix (fertiliser in the mouth and all), but as for the the Disco rider... no idea. |
