AdamR28 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Well, after nearly 4 years without a bike, Ian Cooper is getting back into riding again! For those thinking 'who is Ian Cooper?', he used to ride for various big teams including Raleigh (where he had a custom titanium frame) and DiamondBack 5+ years ago. Top bloke!Weight is 9.6kg, the lightest complete 26" bike we've ever built! Pretty good considering there's not a single modification...Hope you like Adam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 He was a stupidly good rider back in the day.Give him a bit and he'll be beasting everything. Not sure how the geometry is going to affect his riding, it's all changed a lot since he rode, think the last bike I saw him on was an Identiti .

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Back when Ian rode, we didn't have these new fangled 'video cameras' and everyone was on dial up so they didn't tend to make it online that often! Great to see Ian getting back into riding... he's obviously doing all right for himself going straight in with one seriously pimp Boxx! Looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
