DaveC

Dave's been riding seriously since about 1997 and is one of the founding Molefathers — along with Matt and Mark — that came up with the idea of a MTB website for Mole Valley riders.

He's had several different bikes but it's now mainly 29ers in Dave's stable, apart from an Orange 5.

Current Bikes: Orange 5, Salsa Spearfish and Kona Big Unit

9. Consider (briefly) the benefits of singlespeeding

So the best way for me to consider singlespeeding is to buy a brand new On-One Inbred Slot Dropout complete bike and while I’m about it, lets have some funny 29er sized wheels! Oh hang on, he said “(briefly)”…bugger.

Miles and miles

Matt’s obsessed with his stats. Me, I like to ride.

New Blue Inbred

4” good, over 5” better!!!

It’s all in the travel as far as I’m concerned. My beloved white Inbred is dead, long live the Inbred!
