Hi Frank

Pentaxian, I like that word, rings and reads well. Big on Tri-X here 
too. Nice to hear there's some "old-school" chaps here too. "although 
dirt is sometimes more forgiving than concrete.". Always. I do street 
too, thats English street, meaning, Architectural stunt riding, not 
road (we find interesting architecture and ride off it or up it). 
Trials. I have a lovely signature Martyn Hawyes frame for that. Thank 
God trials is LOW speed. That road stuff you do takes balls (speed!). I 
guess it's all relative. I gave up competitive downhill in 2001. It's 
so much easier to take stunning photos than to participate. Sad. Time 
will tell. As for mud, it's a state of mind. Enjoy!

Ian
