John "Tipple Topple" Clifford ( He tipples here-try putting the cursor over his name!!) (Rides a Specialised Enduro)
Until the end of October 2002 John rode a bike that was older than he is and with less suspension than the tables that he sells. All that changed with the purchase of a new bike with full suspension, a comfy saddle, no rack, discs all round and SPD pedals.

If you are wondering how to spot John on a ride, then just listen for his catch phrase,   " I delivered a table to the cottage up that lane; cracking little place, should have taken my bike and I could have had a ride while I was up there, aaaaahhhh..............Thud.................Bugger..................................Those bloody clip in pedals
