I've seen the name pop up in http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/classic-stw-threads/page/3

Whilst there were other great posters who have since disappeared (for better or worse), no one was an arse to the level you were.

So, own up. Who's troll account was it?

I thought GW and mtbel were one and the same? There can't be two riders with that superhuman level of skill can there?

He wasn't the poor bloke who does training in and around Peaslake who started to get a whole load of unfortunate abuse!

Wasn't he the originator of the all-time greatest line - 'makes the trail come alive'?

Crap yes that was bikeind. But to be fair thinking of their threads, they could quite easily have been the same guy!

Maybe he took the advice of some on here resulting in an offspring?

I've always suspected that fairhurst was one of the sweary northerners

So hang on - GW/Mtbel are one and the same, I get that, but was he also RichMTBGuru?

How do people have so much spare time to do this stuff!?

They cycle faster than you do, that's how, obviously!

Well I know GW does, but he cycles faster than everyone. Stood up. On a 12" kids bike. Whilst winning the TdF.

I always thought GW wasn't too bad, and from what I hear, he's a very good rider too.

Mtbellend just tries too hard.

Nah, bad as each other. Sure he's a good rider, but he's a **** with it.

That did seem a bit of a leap. So whose troll was RichMTB? All this alter ego stuff makes my brain hurt.

I'm prepared to wager that Mr Isla Bikes wasn't the fastest at Mayhem. GW would have been. He'd have actually won the team event, whilst riding as a soloist, and having ridden there too.

Sorry, I was abbreviating and didn't realise there is a RichMTB, didn't wish to tar all RichMTBs with the same brush as the guru!

Far as I remember, richmtbguru wasn't his troll account, it was his straight account. Though he did have at least four when we banned him (for having multiple accounts) and I've slept since then so could be misremembering.

I don't think it was an alt belonging to a Big Hitter or anything, though. Nothing to see here, move along.

Why did he get abuse?

Why did he get abuse?

Possibly because he was called Rich, and he was an mtb guru ?

Combined with the fact that not all Internet sleuths are as clever as they think they are 😉

Yes, it was unfortunate that he was a bit too close to the persona on here, so I think people mistakenly believed that's who it was.
