I think you ought to be reported to the forum mods, for misleading thread title
There are quite clearly 7 Courier Comps and 1 Pathfinder

:)

This was meant to be my first ever MTB, but by the time Christmas rolled around they had moved on to the neon pukejob. Which grew on me, but the crackle was what I was really hoping to unwrap.

Will you be distributing them based upon sad tales of childhood disapointment?

Brilliant! Did you collect them piecemeal or is there a story behind there being eight together?

Loving the Seeker btw, it's now my daily ride (which wasn't the intention but is a pleasure).

I've swapped the awful brakes for some 91 dx (shame to give it its only shimano but hey - I'll keep the originals in case I ever move it on). Keeping the awful levers as they suit the bars.

That's very cool. These are cracking bikes. You need to get 7 buddies together and get out on a ride, then post some action shots for the rest of us.
