April 2008


I’m running down my stocks of Brooks saddles, and I’m down to my last couple of dozen – I’ve now put them all in our eBay shop, so you can see exactly what I’ve got left – plus they’re a bit cheaper too…

We’ve converted our garage at home, which means I’m having to thin down my bike collection – it’s very traumatic ;-)

One thing that has to go is my AVD Van – a huge commercial load-carrying quadricycle with a 1kW electric motor to help. It’s a really fun thing, and can carry more than my car! It’s now on eBay



Alpinestars, originally uploaded by Ben Cooper.

Okay, so I’m slightly obsessed with collecting old mountain bikes – I blame it on all the MBUK mags I read as a kid. So when this completely original* Alpinestars AlMega XT popped up on eBay, I couldn’t resist ;-)

*original apart from the natty purple brake booster…

I’ve just listed a couple of Mezzos and an ex-demo Koga Founder S in our eBay store

I’m now occasionally posting stuff on a Twitter feed – not quite sure I understand the point of Twitter yet ;-)

The website has been acting a bit oddly lately – the database file crashed, so I restored it from a backup, but that means I had to try to remember all the recent changes ;-) So that’s why some pages have appeared and disappeared. I’m working on bringing everything back…

I’ve got some recumbents up in our eBay shop – a couple of ex-demonstrators, and an antique Linear long-wheelbase…
