SwissVan Posted April 12, 2007 Share And with discs nogal , strange he looks reasonably sane. The gear ratio's look fairly mountainbikeable, any one feel like counting and working them out... Hats off to him if he finished all 8 days, any mtb race on a single speed would be bladdy hard, never mind the Epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velouria Posted April 12, 2007 Share I agree starclassic - when I was suffering up some of those hills in my granny, imagine this poor guy. (Is the guy in the picture the Saffa or the Yank?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalpel Posted April 13, 2007 Share This guy had a mad partner as well. Both of them completed the Epic on their rigid singles speeds. Apparently the bikes they were riding( Independent) is quite a big name and manufacturer in USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
