Bike Brothers website. I do not seem to be able to locate it any more. Is it still on the web? two brothers who had a great interest in cycling and everything that goes with it. Very entertaining and knowledgeable source. Regards DC

That was a great site. I haven't looked at it for a while and now you come to mention it I can't find it either.

Yes. I loved their outlook on cycling and their photos. Especially outside the shop on a Sunday morning when they bought their pies and their return home through the gate. One of them. I think it is the fireman, took an early retirement and bought or set up a bike shop. Shame the site has disappeared.

Different Bike Brothers.
Though I do love that video. The comment about too many gears is superb.

My favorite is Ken Taylor talking about the development of tandem frames:

'I don't like progress'...

In a half joking, half serious delivery! At least they had a sense of humour in those days ;)
