What a time to be alive.
Incredible suspension, 1x drivetrains, dropper seat posts and carbon everything. Not to speak of how capable modern bikes are, or how many options there are to choose from. You can get yourself a great value trail bike that actually rips, or you can get yourself pretty much the same bike that s being used for World Cup XC racing if you have the wallet for it.
Sure I ve had some great times on old bikes, and you can still have a ton of fun on one. The same can be said about budget friendly bikes. A hefty price tag doesn t have to mean more fun. But either way there s no denying that most bikes today are quite amazing, and especially so the tech and looks we see on the top level ones.

Don’t let the shorts distract you, this guy knows a thing or two about custom building bikes.

If you put a Mora-knife to your brand new carbon frame, you are likely to draw some attention. Same goes for putting up a photo wearing short-shorts together with a denim vest whilst posing with your bike. But behind the shorts-wearing showman, is in fact a bike nerd so fascinated and obsessed with bikes that he spends all of his spare time building up his dream bikes: the world’s lightest full-suspension XC bike, the world’s lightest 29’’ bike, the world’s lightest Downhill bike. All made with utter precision and a huge chunk of love. The man behind it? Mr Dangerholm of course.
