    What was your favourite bike from the Malverns Classic Show and Shine? Is there a retro bike you’ve always wanted? If money was no object what would you be trying to source?

      I'm cheap; Moots YBB, and Turner Stinger are the only two I've never managed to find used for a price I'd bite for. If I was to drop big green on a bike now, it would be for something unobtainable, like a custom fat tire ebike in Reynolds 953 with belt drive, a Rohloff rear, and carbon bits everywhere else. That being said, I can still spend half a day staring at old C-dale fat tube hardtails....😊

      The full Ti Xizang was my halo bike when I was a kid. I would love to get one with modern geo and 29” wheels. The OG Ti Hei Hei was also up there. Oh…. And a Richey Team Edition with the softride stem that Frischy rode. So many to choose from but those are my all time favorites

      A Bontrager Race Lite like I used to own in the 90's. Sold it cheap when I was desperate for cash in '99. One of my dumber moves in life, for it was an absolute barnstormer of a cross country bike.

    Doddy the legend will be missed. Always feel like I am hearing from an old friend who lived all the same MTB experiences I lived back in the day. My first serious ride was a Giant CFM3 1992 and I changed the fork to the original Girvin with the yellow elastomers Would love to see one again!!! Love to own it again

I’m really grateful as I now have a love for retro mountain bikes since I found the channel in 2020. All the best with your future 🚵🏻🚵🏻‍♂️

    Thank you, Doddy! You have been my go-to source for MTB tech and tips since I got into MTB about the same time the tech show started. If it wasn't for you and all the others at GMBN, I would have never gotten the confidence to take a bare frame and turn it into my dream bike. Wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope to see you again, maybe as a guest on the GMBN channels again.

    You will be missed, not just by us viewers but I'm sure everyone at at the GCN/GMBN offices.

And I have to admit after watching many many hours of GMBN Tech videos, this is the first and only one that made me cry. Best wishes for your new endeavors and I hope we get to share some of your future on RUclips or otherwise!

    I keep meaning to send in my bike to the uploader. I bought it in 2019 and realized that I have replaced every part except the seat.

    You introduced me into having a go at maintaining my bike after getting back into biking following a massive accident at work. From that I’ve watched GMBN loads on how to improve myself as a rider
    I’m a mechanic at heart and loved your videos on how adjust and maintain anything on a bike and make it look easy giving me the confidence to do it myself
    You and your teams videos have helped me loads with giving me back some freedom on the trails and at home tinkering on my bikes after some dark times a few years ago after my accident
    Thank you and good luck on your next venture

    What Doddy brought to GMBN was his great credibility in bike knowledge. His skills as a journalist also proved to be a great strength as he was able to put across any detail of mountain bike technology without it being overly complicated or patronising. His leaving feels like the end of a era. Not sure GMBN Tech will be the same again.
