Tredz Trumps: Gareth

Gareth
GARETH (DOWNHILLER)

Suitability: 4/10

He's riding a Charge Blender with Pike Forks, Singletrack Rims and Shimano DX pedals on mostly roads and a bike path...
Style: 7/10 His dirt lid, On Fire hoodie and Shimano MT51 cleats keep it real. Bro.
Desirability: 7/10 Yup, nice bike, nice bits attached to it. I'd nick it.
Lighting: 7/10 He isn't wearing any in the photo, but most of the time he's got a Cateye Compact Opticube and a Frog rear light.
Safety: 3/10 Well he is wearing his SixSixOne Dirt Helmet, but apart from his main lights road visibility is going to be poor.
Weatherproofing: 0/10 Que? Gareth is obviously confident that it isn't going to rain (this is outside our Swansea shop).
Speed: 2/10  I've seen Gaz ride down sets of steps on his bike stupidly quickly, but the Charge isn't going to set any records on the bike path or the road.
