Info
Bike I ride: my main bike is a x small G.T Ruckus 1.0,custom build.Its set up with 5 gears and a neautrel gear,sram x.9 shifter and rear mech.I run a single 32 tooth ring up front on a Shimano deore lx hollowtech crank with a saint bash guard.Sun rhinolite/shimano wheelset on geax tattoo slicks.Charge stool saddle,Hayes hydros back and front.Truvativ,D.M.R and odi finishing kit.
Favorite Trails: The Cleveland hills,Marske woods and Guisbrough when i can.But mainly street as my bikes are set up purely for street and hardpack dirt.
About Me: I'm a 34 year old kid who dreams of owning a better bike one day,don't we all. I don't get out anywhere near as much as i'd want as i have no car license and i live on a council estate surrounded by chemical factories and shit.street riding is what you make it with the abilities you have,anyway thats me in a nutshell.

He's got some big boots to fill now gravesy is concentrating on DH,and doing well at it might i add. Gringo. :ito:

Don't get me wrong,i love it,but i.m.o the Commencal was a superior bike to the Fury,and the Athertons had the most success of their careers on board Commencals.Though maybe they didn't get on with the new supreme downhill.The contact system of old supreme DH's seemed to suit the Athertons more.Maybe that's why they've moved to GT cos of the single pivot fury.Who knows???? Gringo.:?2:

thegringo commented under IanHylands's photo ( Jan 17, 2012 at 13:38 )
Totally agree,i can't believe they've moved from Commencal to GT,maybe they weren't getting on with the new rig.Who knows.Best of luck to them though. Gary. :ito:

Never noticed you were a Palmer fan. Man I gave that guy the biggest forearm shiver in Vegas 3 years ago. Tried to cut in front of all of us getting out of the disorder premiere. Realized who I checked and then felt bad....
