RAW Bamboo Bikes – The Dale MTB

Feb 21st, 2010

“I almost always ride a full-sus these days. The Orange Five does everything well, and most things outstandingly well. I guess I love it because you can point it down steep nasty stuff & it laughs at it! So I’d kind of forgotten the joy of a good hard-tail bike”

Paramo Velez Adventure Light W/proof Smock pt2

Dec 5, 2009

…short re-visit to the Paramo. In short, great. If I’m being really picky I’d have the arms slightly longer, but there’s not much in it & with the wrist tabs done up everything’s comfortable…
