Bike Check: Andreu Lacondeguy

Getting Andreu to stay still for more than a second or so to take a photo is pretty much impossible...

You can't buy one of these - it's Andreu's signature fork from Marzocchi. It's basically a slammed 55 painted in that wild orange, but with custom internals. All we could get him to tell us about it is that's set hard as hell, which is vital if you're going as big as he does.

Single speed: check. Single, tiny rear brake: check. Pretty much standard issue for dirt jumpers everywhere.

Yeah, it's definitely a saddle.

There we are: Andreu's 2012 YT Industries hardtail.

Andreu don't care. Rather than tell us how many PSI there are in his tyre or teeth on his sprocket he'd rather dick about on his bike. That's why we like him.
