Re: Re:
Me too, up until Feb '18, I had no idea that ANY mountain bikes could even be considered Retro...then someone (much younger than me) pointed out that my low level but immaculate 1997 Giant, that I have had from new was an "awesome Retro ride" and he was much more interested in it than my 50’s Clauds. :shock:
I felt old that day… :facepalm: but you lot have helped me get over it!

Joined to sell my Anteaus 653, didn't, realised it was rare and kept it. Re-built it and it now serves as a retro ride during the dry summer months.
Only keeping a couple of retro rides now though (down from 7) but I may build a retro single speed so I stop ruining the expensive parts (11s chains and cassettes) on my modern bikes in the winter mud.

Yep me too spent the last 15 odd years dusting off my trusty heckler (and ignoreing my cfm3) a couple of times a year and every time I did thinking I must get back into cycling. Well 18 months ago I want looking for a rear triangle with disc mounts for my 97 heckler and found rb.
I now have 2 hecklers, 2 chameleons (1 bike & 1 frame), cfm3, atx dh, atx (kiddie puller), charge faucet and just building up a Dartmoor primal +.
All built from parts off here and stw.
So far I’ve sold a wheel, some forks and a seat post. :facepalm:
Still not riding much but really enjoying the community and the building. Starting to feel like I should contribute to the site a bit more so going to try and do a couple of build threads.
