Hey Paul,

just a short update:

a lot of new pics, I was in Saalbach-Hinterglemm riding some fantastic
trails with my BFe and I wanted to let you know how happy I am with
that bike.
I changed some more parts and now have the best for my what I want to
do with that bike.

I usually am a Singlespeeder, fif not have gears or a a suspension
fork since 2003, but I wanted to try that category of bikes that are
so
popular in UK and that was a great decision...

I started with a Santa Cruz Chameleon which I did not like at all.

Then came the BFe...
I must say, I own a lot of bikes, like I said mostly Singlespeeds from
the finest companys there are...
A few custom made, I have a Steelman SSP and a geared one  and a very
rare Phil Wood Piss Off, made from fine Titanium
by Independet Fabrication ) and I had a Sycip etc...
Those all are great bikes, unique and very special.

Your frames are not unique, well, here in germany they kind of are,
but you get what I mean...

And I put parts on it I never used... and I have so much fun...
I`m quite heavy, I`m 36 and I have 2 little girls and own my own
little company ( nothing great, but mine ) so I can`t afford
to crash heavily and I`m way to frightened to ride big things or jump
from my rooftop, but the BFe in that build up with those big Fox36
forks does give me such a feeling of security...
I now ride things or jump over things I always had to push my bike before...
A bit heavy, yes, but it is my most favorite bike since the last
months and will stay that for a long time.
I even have ordered a Simple frame from Carsten, too bad you did stick
with the same colour as the Soul is ( and that 27.2 Seatpost, I love
the fat post of my BFe ) but hey...
So, just a big thank you for building such great frames, or selling
them, or use your ideas of frame building and make that possible...
If any of those pics you like feel free to use them for whatever you
find suitable... I`d be happy to help, and I tell everyone what a
great company that is and
what great frames you build...
THanks,
Erik"
