    After much discussion and cogitating, Shedfire have finalised discussions with our new rider who’ll be working with us on product development on Shedfire products for the next year.
     
    Mike McTimoney (miketually/mactually) has consistently impressed us with his attitude and dedication to the sport, and we’ll be working with him over the next year to develop cool products.
    We’ve just fired up the CAD machine to start work on Mike’s new bike – a rigid steel singlespeed 29er, which will feature our new “Fathead” tubeset.
     
    Mike came to our attention after his DFL (Dead F*cking Last) finish at the Kielder 100 event, which, for us, sums up the grit and determination that mountainbiking is about.
     
    Shedfire MD Brant Richards said “Mike’s just an inspiration to lots of riders out there, and his inspiring ride at Kielder, when over 60% of the field quit, which just blew us away. We’re looking forward to working on lots of projects with him, though the new downhill bike we’re doing probably isn’t one of them.”

    Hi all. Just finished the new bike build. All bits new after my swanky HT was stolen on a visit down south. Off on her virgin ride to Stainburn tonight.

    Card-dump from my eurobike visit. Read into this whatever you want. Conspiracy theorists can have a field day 🙂

    AssHat of the Week.Winner of the inaugral “Asshat of the Week” is STW’s Tangobravo. A man on a mission it seems (though we’re not sure what the mission is, or who he works for).

    He wins it for three total bollocks posts about our stuff IN THE LAST WEEK. Here (post 20), here and here.

    He’s also quite puzzling and seems to have both a fantastic knowledge of the products of Superstar Components, and Pure Racing. And also knows more than the average chap about import duty.

    Anyhow – Mr Tangobravo – congrats. AssHat #1.

    Tommorow we’ll talk about “OPEN MOLD” stuff, OEM, ODM, the TBG, TBS and other stuff.

    Oh, and if you fancy a read, buy THIS.

    We made the headtube sticker on the Blue Pigs a bit big. They’re smart at The Bike Shop in Skipton – stick in on sideway (though it does look a bike like those Charge bikes).

    Subject: More bike pics from The Bicycle Shop Skipton

    Hi Brant
    I have just received our eagerly awaited Blue Pig frames and have just finished swapping my parts over to my new Blue Pig frame (see attached pics). We will have some more pics on the way from the rest of the staffs Builds. I think the blue Gamut bash and blue Nixon forks next to the squash colour look pretty well together. Just need to ride the thing now and send you some riding pics Stainburn or steps anyone?, also the test bike Blue Pig for customers to try will be ready early next week. Cheers.
    Oliver.
