My Rides

These are the bikes I currently ride, all are custom built aside from the Cannondale

Santa Cruz Blur LT

This is my "Do it all" bike, I have ridden and raced XC to Downhill on this bike. The Blur LT is my favourite of my bikes, I purchased the frame when they 1st became available in 2008. The bike has gone through a few different setups and has recently had a new paint job replacing the old white.


Santa Cruz Blur XC (race bike)

Because I love my Blur LT so much I wanted something similar as a lightweight XC race bike, this is the reason I got the Blur XC. This bike I use for XC training (pictured with training wheelset) and XC racing.

Santa Cruz Driver 8

I picked this frame up in Canada last year, I was after a Nomad but the shop had one of these, was much of an impulse buy more than anything else. This ride rides DH sweet, it is super plush and handles easily (for a DH bike). Also pedals up hills not so bad too.

DMR Trailstar (gen1)

Built and custom painted forks and frame a couple of years ago. I have raced this at the SS Champs each year as well as this being my commuter bike. Ratio is 34:17

Cannondale Caad9

This is the only stock spec ed bike I own, its a 2010 model. I purchased this for training though already thinking of maybe doing some roadie races on it. Rides really nice for an Alloy bike, nicer than a lot od carbon bikes out there.
