Members' Machinery

By Bikemagic

Bikemagic.com members have, between them, put together some unique bikes. Some were done on the cheap, some have had loads of money thrown at them, some have a particular purpose in mind while others were created "because they could". They have something in common though. They're all special in their own ways, and they're all loved. Check out the links at the bottom of the page...

If you've got a bike that you think would be at home here, drop us a line and tell us about it. We're looking for a couple of hundred words about what makes it such a special bike and what the thinking was behind it, plus a couple of pictures of the whole bike and any particular highlights.

Over to you

We're not too bothered whether it's singlespeed, geared, hardtail, rigid, FS or whatever - it just has to be something unique. We're looking for bikes that have had a lot of time invested in them by their owners. Send us a pic and some words about what it is and why it's like that and we'll run the best ones here...

By way of tempting you, if the opportunity of having your pride and joy featured on the pages of bikemagic.com wasn't enough, we've got a box of these lovely Kona t-shirts to award to anyone whose bike we add to Members' Machinery. Get snapping....
