    What the buck?

    Hey all. On jumps with tight kickers or a rock/log/lip at the top of the launch I'm getting bucked forwards and copping a seat in the backside or landing in unintentional nose manuals. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? On a steel hardtail so no rear squish adjustments to contend with. Seems...

    Pre WW1 roadie?

    Was recently given this old clunker by my dad. It was his grandfather's originally & he reckons it would date to about 1910 or so. Trying to find out what year/make it is and its country of origin but I can't find any identifying marks on it. It looks like the frame was originally red & the...
