Lovely bikes.

Article needs a bit more proof-reading; several examples of 'written' instead of 'ridden' for instance ....

@hardtailonly Argh! Jim's accent played havoc with the transcription - lots of barks instead of bikes!

ChatGPT - write me an article about a bike.  Start most of the sentences with the word so.

 

Weird writing aside, that is a thing of beauty!

Very nice, if I could ride I’d be on the phone to Craft right now.

Having met and ridden with Jim and Chloe on an alps trip a while back I can say I think Jim’s being a bit modest. The two of them not only are great people to hang out with but both are absolute shredders. Watching Jim’s bikes come to life has been great, especially when he releases a pic of a new 3d printed component. Kudos Jim, hope you’re both good 🤙

You had me at the calipers inside the stays; that is too nice.

It's clearly stated as an interview, and a chat at that.  It's an informal article about some cool bikes, nothing weird about it to my eyes.

(So) does a (slight) return to mid/late 90s bikes represent a cynical retro cash-in, or is it just that as we get older we return to when we felt most comfortable on the trails?
