Are they a breeding pair? That would be really useful...

Nice bikes too!

Wow Beautiful bikes with beautiful photos ~ good work.

Phil Denton in the UK has just turned out a pair as well for the VmxDesNations.  Seeing them this weekend ~ cant wait!

My Dad likes pairs as well for breeding (Metisses, B50s, CCMs, WLAs)

I like a big firm pair as well!!!!

Very nice. The 480 looks like it was meant to be. You do it very well indeed Gavin.

At farleigh it seamed like every 10th bike was a 480 twinshock, I do like the look of your pair, very smart and well done.

That's awesome! Looks like it's hardly been ridden.
