I've already said Sam Hill and his Iron Horse Sunday.

And I think Brendan Fairclough and his Iron Horse Sunday is pretty nice too.

Love Sundays3Wink

Sam Hill + Sunday.

End of. He owns. Bit fanboyish, but no one can deny he's the quickest out there.

except gee atherton did this last weekendWink only kidding but seriously, we've never really seen him on another bike, if you watch him in hypnosis, eric carter talks about how he blew through a rock garden in 2003 and as he describes it "it looked like someone pushed the fast forward button on a vcr" he's amazing on any bike so i dont really think its the sunday that gives him the edge or eeryone would ride sundays

if you watch earthed (first one) his old ih sgs didnt seem to slow him down any

lets not forget steve smiths sudden rise. he may have gotten 10th this weekend, but he snuck up on sammy boy at the open and was on him the whole off season to

the athertons have also always been on top and keep pushing into the comfort zone of the other wc riders and last weekend proved that

its such a talented field of top riders this year it should get very interesting

I know, but he rides the Sunday, so I reckon he's gonna be the fastest again this year.

I quite like Rennie too, anyone who rides flat pedals gets my vote. Flatties ftw!

to me that is the most logical one because where most peoples opinions are being based on how good someone is on their bike(eg sam hill+sunday) cedrics bike goes with his personallity because he is a loud party hard guy and his bike colour just is loud cos it is proper bright green
