I'm Mark Spruce (Sprucey)

I live in Gosport, Hampshire.

I run a carbon Oz, a Raozorback Team and I am rebuilding an 855/856 (just got the rear swing arm back with a new disc mount welded onto it).

Will try to get some pictures but am really busy at work right now.

I have met and know Simon really well and have done a couple of rides with him (and will do more in the summer, I am sure)

I live in Malvern Wells, so near the Malvern Hills it takes 5 mins of uphill from my back door to get onto the trails, how lucky is that?  ;D The only problem is, that it is so convenient I do not tend to travel to other MTB locations, but must do some of the Welsh trails this year.  I ride with a buddy just down the road who has a Giant FRS Composite (Carbon) with pink 'T-Mobile' front to the frame triangle - V Nice!

But I love my 5500c & Oz-M.  Must update the site with latest pics soon!!

Anyone fancy doing the Hell of North Costwolds (HONC) this year?  There is a choice of 50 or 100 kms!!

I'v done it most years now.  It's great to see 1100 riders all go off at once.  It is not a race, just a kind of enduro.  See http://www.honcpix.com/honc2004/album%201/index.htm

Oops, I think it's already to late to enter.  http://www.cc-cc.co.uk/hotnc.asp

2003 99 K2 Oz-M with USE S.U.B. Fork & Fox DHX Air rear shock
2001 98 K2 5500c (Oz) Now Son's bike
1997 Proflex 957
1992 Proflex 952
1990 KONA Explosif
1988 SARACEN Tufftrax
